SPAZZ (commonly known as a to-do list)
So. I'm moving this weekend to a small 2 bedroom apartment on the north side of town. It's a big deal for me, because the last time I lived alone, I nearly did something... permanent. Bad permanent. But I think I'm ready for it this time; I've got awesome friends, and more confidence, and the right medication.
Yeah. Anyway, I'm schitzoid, and fritzing massively, and trying to make sure I don't forget anything.
And now, in no particular order:
* Finish filing change of address for bills and bank and the university.
* Break down the computer, bed, desk, and bookcases to prepare for moving on Saturday.
* Finish packing up books.
* Go through tubs in garage and find things that can be donated/sold/thrown away. This may take a goodly chunk of Sunday because I'm a pack-rat.
* Get keys to apartment early Friday morning
* Move breakables, tub with camping gear, and at least two days worth of clothing first.
* Borrow a camera to take proper pictures of the apartment.
* Shop for basics: food, cleaning supplies, toiletries, first aid kit.
* See how much small stuff can be moved before friends come to help with furniture.
* Negotiate for toaster.
* Negotiate with maternal unit: you don't dawdle and get all maudlin, and I won't rip your head off.
* Realize that living alone means no handy roommates to use as excuses to make maternal unit go AWAY.
* Make sure refrigerator is cooling properly.
* Throw fashion sense to the wind and wear cut off cargo pants w/ enough pockets for phone, wallet, inhaler, keys, iPod, epipen and whatever other small things need to be kept on my person at all times.
* Breathe.
* Make sure not to pack allen wrench. Without said wrench, the bed frame stays as it is. Together.
* Discern how much of desk can be disassembled.
* Pack desktop in box, set aside spare computers and determine sale/trade values.
* Remember to eat ocassionally.
* Move stereo in one of early trips to have music in apartment while taking breaks.
* Steal one or two Shakespear's cups to have cups available for drinks at new place.
* Actually hope it stops snowing (a rare desire, in my case, but I really don't want to try to move into a second floor apartment on snow-covered stairs)
* Make sure medications don't get buried in avalanche of stuff.
* Thoroughly tape shut stackable drawers to make sure they don't open during transit.
* Don't forget all of the ceramics in the garage.
* Find out if there are pans in the box in the mud room, and if so whose they are.
* Get grill pan from top of fridge.
I'm sure other things will come to me, and I'll add them as they come up.
