Seeing as the move took "a few days" it is presumably across the country.

Maybe you have better things to do with your time than spend days driving a truck.

And a neighbor might help you move a single couch.

But I sure don't have any neighbors who will spend an entire day doing back-breaking work bringing sofas and heavy bookcases and bed frames down narrow stairs, quite possibly injuring themselves in the process because it's not something they do regularly.

But I love that you live in a world where serious hard labor is freely provided by your neighbors -- neighbors who will never see you again since you're leaving! And that your family has no problem with you disappearing for days to drive a truck, using your vacation days to do so instead of to spend with them.
