I'm grateful that it's in the past tense now and that no one is likely to walk up to you with further typewriters, large or small.
I am pretty sure I said to Niels that with the typewriters we had officially entered the shrink-wrapped lampshade/open box of last year's matzah/one sneaker stage of this move.
(My benchmark for the still-worst move I have ever been involved with. In that case no packing had been done ahead of time. There were no packing materials. We had to lash everything to the inside of the truck with clothesline. The new tenant was moving in as we worked. At one point I was handed a lampshade still in its plastic shrink-wrap, with a box of expired matzah and one sneaker inside. Somehow it symbolized everything. This move was not that bad, because there were no tenants incoming and most of everything had been boxed ahead of time, but the typewriter was still a moment.)
May you get enough rest to recuperate before the next thing hits.
Thank you. Unfortunately the next thing hit by waking me up at noon and I will have to deal with it today. I feel like maybe I'll sleep or rest or just stop shaking from sheer physical exhaustion in, like, August.
