After the move

May 27 2008

Congratulations, you made it through the move. Give yourself some downtime to relax and recuperate and be sure to thank all of your friends and family for their help.

A quick phone call, card or e-mail is all it takes to let them know how much you appreciate them. And, while you’re at it, why not invite them to your housewarming party?

At last, all alone!

You’ve worked hard and have finally settled yourself and your belongings into your new home. You may be satisfied with a job well done, but your neck and back are probably aching. So much for being in marathon shape.

Now’s the time to pamper yourself a bit. Why not treat yourself to a delicious meal at a good restaurant. Pick out a relaxing dig with a good atmosphere and friendly staff. That way, you can take the team to savour your meal and plan the following day’s activities, such as getting a massage, taking a bubble bath or going to a spa.
