I appreciate the guest post, Lindsay Valdez

Moving was really stressful for me and it only got worse when I broke my ankle packing in the basement. I know it sounds silly but there was nothing I could do but sit there until my husband got home from work since I couldn’t walk and I didn’t have my cell phone! Anyway, getting all the moving stuff together was no longer an option so we had to pay for movers even though we couldn’t really afford it. I concentrated on all the utilities like calling the security company and going to TV By Direct to look at satellite plans which were things I could do without having to stand on my ankle. The movers were great if not expensive but they only stressed me out more because I didn’t know where they packed anything and I had to tell them where to put everything at the new house. I wouldn’t use them again since I can do it myself but that’s only if I don’t have a broken ankle the next time!
