Getting ready to move

[unixronin]

...And while I've been pretty frantic this weekend because it seems so much of what still needs to be done, needs to be done at the last minute, I think I'm going to be ready.  I have five boxes of stuff that are going to get shipped ahead tomorrow, and possibly one or two more on Tuesday.  I probably wouldn't need to ship anything, if not for having two large monitors (a 21" and a 20") and a significant pile of computers to bring with me.  It may take some trial-and-error to find how best to fit everything in, but I think it'll all go.  I'm doing pretty well on getting the perishable foods used up, except for the frozen stuff -- there's still a whole bunch of frozen chicken in the freezer.

The plan is all the furniture and the housewares are to be gone by noon, then I finish loading, ship a last couple of boxes ahead if necessary, grab a free burrito for lunch from the new burrito place over at Mathilda and the bignum, and then hit the road.

Last time I did this solo cross-country stuff, I was 20 years younger and had a lot less stuff to move.  That one went fairly smoothly.  This time I'll be going the opposite direction, but ironically, going most of the way on I-80 again just like the first time.

This is far from the first time I've moved.  Hell, it's far from the first time I've moved on my own.  Why do I feel so jittery?

Uncertainty about what colour palette she chose for painting the new place.

Yeah. Right. I haven't had any time to go look for a place at all and the Internet is no help at all in this matter.

I get up at 0500 and am on the road at 0545 to get to work by 0730 and then I'm busy til 1600 when I get off work and drive back to DJ's where I tend to collapse in to a heap from nerves. I despise stop and go traffic. Every time I've been in a motor vehicle accident it was in stop and go traffic. 90 minutes of it in the morning and 90 more minutes in the evening is not a good thing at all.

Ok.. Please put the flamethrower down and step away.

It was said in jest. I will refrain from comments to your LJ in the future.

I wasn't snapping at you. Just saying it like it is. Besides, I'm the one who would complain about his colour choices. :-) He's got this thing for dark colors of furniture while I like the light stuff.
