21 boxes and one suitcase of things we couldn't possibly live without arrived this morning. They had been held for ransom by ______ Relocations (rhymes with Smeagol). It turns out the price we were quoted on the US side did not include customs costs and storage fees on this side. For only 372 additional pounds sterling, we were able to ransom our personal possessions.
Of course, we had been given erroneous contact information by the clowns in Florida, so we spent a week trying to contact Louise@Smeagol.co.uk until several phone calls revealed that she did not work there any more. That is the week for which we are being charged.
Hubster had a few choice words of wisdom for Smeagol. Now we have our Preciousssssssss things, I can't remember what is in most of the boxes. I did open the one with the crafty supplies.

- A "recovering academic", I have left the world of research and teaching Psychology. My current focus is on offering hypnotherapy, Reiki, and spiritual support for clients and hospice residents. I like to express myself through the arts, especially drama (the quirky-comic relief part),stand-up comedy, painting, and the fiber arts.
