Things I've discovered or re-discovered recently, while moving from the big city to the "country".
1. The amount of stuff you have expands to fill the greatest number of boxes you are able to obtain.
2. Sofas, in between being placed in a home and being removed, bulge to at least 101% the width of the doorway they are to be carried through.
3. Keep an eye on your books. When you're not looking, they multiply like rabbits.
4. Cats have little motors inside of them. This of course, explains the sounds they produce. It also explains the sudden bursts of spastic energy they are prone to, especially at the ungodly hours of dawn.
5. Pitching hay warms you up. It's true.
