Oh man, moving. It's such a hassle, and you don't actually realise how much stuff you have until you have to pack it, do you? Good luck, you'll get it done!

Also, I like this one:

-put all the random crap in the same box, deal with it later

Basically my strategy for pretty much everything other than books and clothes when I moved, heh.

The only problem with the random crap in box method is I've used it for the past 11 moves/25 years and I have yet to actually go through 90% of the 'random boxes'.

Good luck!

thanks!

Good luck with the move! I'm so glad I have the rest of the month to work on packing and do my move.

[caffienekitty]

You're moving again? I thought you'd already moved once this year?

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

I moved last year. Everyone has been trying to convince me to move, but I let my lease run out (it does at the end of the month) and I'm moving back in with my parents at least until their lease runs out next year.

[caffienekitty]

Ah, I am getting bad at telling how long ago things were. Hope things work out better with the next move.

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

LOL I can understand that!

Well... I'm moving back in with my parents... so yes and no? I mean yay less bills but boo one room vs a whole house and 3 people that I didn't have in my house (plus 3 cats and a dog... although my cat is gone :-( as of this past Monday so that's one less animal we'll have.)

[caffienekitty]

Aw, no, I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. :-(

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It was a blessing in a way. He had cancer and was old. And not eating. So he was ready. And I honestly think this last week was just... painful. So as much as it hurt...it was time.

Where do I send the new home card? and I hope this move marks an uptick for you. I figure we're both due one

[caffienekitty]

No, it's rather a step down, and not a voluntary move. My current apartment was sold and the new owner gave me notice to end tenancy so he can move in, all within the law, so I've been scrambling to find any apartment at all for the past month or so. The rental market here is utter lunacy.

The place I am moving into is about 75% the size of my current place, and is 32% more rent per month. It's also in a worse part of town and increases the rent annually. It's all I could find that was feasible though, so it is what it is.

On the up side, it's near a park with lots of trees.

Yeah, an uptick would be great, wouldn't it? I hope one comes along for you soon. :-)
