We got to Jocelyn's apartment at noon. She was sitting in a chaos of belongings. Some of them were in boxes and bags. I delivered three suitcases, so she could decide between the two carry-ons. We started loading the mattress and boxes into our car. The mattress fit and the tailgate closed! If you want to sleep in your car, get an EV6! Meanwhile she started putting things in the suitcases. At some point I picked up the big one and said "wonder how this compares to 50 pounds", and that ensued with a Google search for "how much more does it cost for a heavy bag". Turns out it's surge pricing, and it's hard to actually find out. It costs more "in the summer peak travel time". Is that now? I mean, it's the end of summer, and a lot of people are moving to college. She also kept saying "OMG where did these things come from" and "oops I forgot about that drawer", so the number and volume of things she's taking is kind of a lot. Eventually I recommended that she take both carry-ons and check the larger one. There wasn't a scale at her apartment, but there is one at her friends house where she staying tomorrow night, so I suggested they take all three suitcases to the friends house, weigh the big one, and re-assort if needed. We discussed "how do you drag these things around on public transit", and how to strap the smaller carry-on to the large suitcase to make that possible. If the friend ends up with the smaller carry-on, we'll get it back sometime. Our car ended up being very full, so we had to put more things in hers than expected. We discovered that she had a large object in her car that did not belong to her, or her friend, but a second friend. So it was hard to get all the rest of the stuff into her car, but we managed, and then they had a detour to first the second friend's house to drop off the big thing, and then the original friend's house to drop off the suitcases. Unfortunately this meant that they would have to unload everything including the bicycle to get at the big thing. (I think some different organization of the car could have occurred, but I decided that sometimes my input is not necessary.) We finally got underway around 2:30. She left us all of her food, and we've been consolidating spices and such. comments
