Woes!
I have visited a ton of websites now, from rentals to moving supplies, and am trying to work off the nonverbal state into which I have fallen. I am truly boggled by the array of moving supplies - how many boxes? what sizes? do I need tiger tacos? - and by the STUFF. Three closets, two cupboards, and a bunch of random boxes I never unpacked knowing full well it was pointless to attempt to put everything out on shelves…. Good grief. Maybe I should get a two bedroom apartment, shove everything in one bedroom boxed up and out of the way, and start over?
It turns out it’s not so expensive to get from here to there; uhaul will give me a truck for less than two hundred bucks, with many free miles.
Part of me is still going WTF? WTF? Someone wants to pay you lots of money! I mean, this is literally doubling my salary, this job. I’m having a hard time deciding that this is real.
And the rational bit is making lists, of people to call and addresses to change and policies and accounts to move, and things to throw away and other things to sell. Lately I’ve been losing things - erg, arg, grrr, and grrrrr - and moving is just the ticket. Nothing like being forced to look at every object you put in a box.

check out office storage boxes at costco. they are less expensive and stronger than uhaul boxes. plus you can fold them back up and *easily* save them for the next time you have to move in a hurry. One box filled with books is about all a human can lift.
