move

We have all the things out of the apartment, and have turned in the keys. Everything is in the garage still pretty much but the worst part is over. We have had a few problems here at the house, thermostat, water heater, bugs.. but I am still thrilled. Just wish I had some time to sit around and actually enjoy the house. I want to carefully unpack and have this house as organized as possible.

Moving is hell!

Now onto this. Terrible job that I hate. Have a Uhaul sitting in the parking lot right now, we are going to move the big items tonight. Tomorrow and Sunday I will be moving the small items, work Monday and then hope to get this apartment cleaned on Tuesday and Wednesday and be done!

The last of the boxes got carried out last night. What a relief.

Now we have to finish decorating and making improvements. This will take months.

I have SUCH bad luck when it comes to moving. I’m down to the wire since I pick up my truck tomorrow morning. What has gone wrong with me so far?

• I was pulled over on the way home from my going away party ealier this week for a burned out headlight
• I paid for new bulbs to replace the headlight (actually, both of them) within required 5 days so I don’t get a ticket
• The one headlight was still dim, thus my car went to the mechanic today – he found a bad fuse, and replaced the bulb, again.
• I need strong men to help me move a tv from someone else’s basement. I have a narrow window of time and it requires the truck and dolly, so it has to be done or else. My help is falling through. I have no idea how this is going to work
• Due to a shortage of trucks, my moving van is 45 miles away. It gets 10mpg. They won’t credit me for the extra gas for the truck or the 90 miles round trip I need to drive to pick it up. This is also going to add about two hours to my day that I wasn’t planning on.
• I feel like every time I turn around, I’m giving someone money.
• The only good boxes I found at the grocery store are for incontinence pads. I am apparently stocking up on Serenity and belted undergarments.

What has gone right?

• I turned in my jar of change at the bank today and it added up to $91.02.
• I have beer.
• I found more antihistamines.
• I got a deal on four dining chairs for $15.
• My dog loves me.
• In two nights, I’ll be in MY OWN PLACE!

Hopefully we will finally move out of this apartment in January.

LoL so since I made the goal I have moved two different times with another soon in the making! I love it and hate it, there is a thin line between the two. Its a military life, my life, and I do love it! I just hate the packing and unpacking! But the change of senery is a perfect fit for me!

The baby is with grandma and grandpa for the week so I can do make home improvements, including getting the last of the stuff out of boxes. The first day is over and already I’m behind schedule.

I need to move in two months. Ex wife needs to take current house and remove me from the note. Need to qualify for new house $310k budget. Believe i will rent storage to facilitate the transition and move.

This place is a mess! I’ve been sorting through everything I have and am down to the last two boxes I had in storage and the random flotsam and jetsam that never seems to fit into organized boxes. There is stuff piled everywhere! I have some last-minute paperwork and tasks to finish here and I’m making a list of things to do after I move.

I’m getting very edgy and annoyed with small things. I’m worried about how everything will go next week. I’m worried about how I’ll do all of the work I need to do once I get there. I’m leaving a safety zone and a bunch of friends, but I’m moving closer to old friends. I know it’s all going to work out in the end, but the goodbyes are looming.

This has been a very long, tedious, sad patch in my life and I’m glad to be leaving it behind. Still, there are things I will miss. There’s no getting around it.

During all of this packing, I found last year’s horoscope from my birthday. Part of it really jumped out at me.

You’re not interested in doing what you know you can do. Your quest is to do what you’re not sure you can do. Backward things happen. You’ll earn fantastic money while looking for the perfect way to earn money.

It’s a little eerie. I only have the job I have now because I needed a new job that fit my class schedule. It’s better pay, interesting work, less hours, work at home and is the reason I’m able to move. Now that I’ve left school, I’m in a great position to actually do what I’ve been wanting to for the past five years. This never would have happened if it weren’t for school. Even though a new degree didn’t work out, I surprised myself by ending up where I wanted and needed to be all along. Eerie.
