Thanks everyone for the well-wishes!
We are here now. MOving the King mattress was a stone bitch, it is 60 pounds of dead, bulky weight. We struggled in with it while it was raining. In fact, it was raining most of the time after we got the first load to the house.
The new house got a good shakedown last night, too; we had the worst storm of the year so far (even beating the ice storm for ferocity). The lightning was so bright we could see it even with our eyes closed. The thing we most appreciated last night was the lack of leaks! Our old house had a multitude.
The police came and put the barrier across the end of the street, and the greenbelt clogged. King said that there was a crane out this morning pulling out debris.
The fire and moving back were perfectly bracketed by two events: the house burnt the morning of my husband's birthday, and we moved back in yesterday, which was mine.
