It has been a busy two days for us. My friend came over yesterday and we managed to pack 7 boxes.
I didn’t realize how much we do have in our small apartment. We trashed a few bags worth of stuff that were cluttering up the place and couldn’t donate.
Here’s a to-do list so far:
- Notify landlord (done)
- Notify current employers (done)
- Pick the apartment and fill out the paperwork. (We’re going down there tomorrow! Leaving around 5am… :p)
- Get a few estimates from truck rental companies. (It’s going to be approximately $200.)
- Start a file for moving paperwork (File cabinet ready.)
- Grab and complete post office change-of-address cards. (I got to do that this weekend.)
- Use up food that can’t be packed. (Doing pretty well on that!)
- Schedule packing and do it! (We got some boxes from a local grocery store. We got a great tart and our goal is to do 2- boxes/day until we’re done. I’m estimating Tuesday.)
- Clean apartment to get deposit back. (Wait until next week.)
- Schedule disconnection of all utility services at current apartment, and have new apartment’s turned utilities on. (Wait until next week.)
- Request a refund on our electric deposit. (Wait until next week.)
- Return any borrowed items (I called some people and am making arrangements to return the items.)
There’s still a lot to do, but I think we can do this. Am I forgetting anything major? Do you have advice?
