Here We Go…
I have been waiting for it…. For the feelings of being overwhelmed. I am here to tell you that the stress has officially made it’s entrance.
This is when things start to get complicated. I am trying to coordinate moving trucks, moving helpers, making a cross-country drive, new bank accounts, apartment lease terminations, selling furniture, packing, and change of address forms. I am trying to blend my availability with everyone who is offering to help. I am trying to say my goodbyes. Basically I am trying to get out of Michigan as cheaply and easily as possible, and unfortunately, my attempts are failing.
As of late this afternoon all plans have been changed and my tentative schedule has been thrown into a complete tailspin. I promise that I am never moving again.
Though this process, I am learning a hard lesson on Supply and Demand. Thanks to everyone moving out of Michigan, the Uhaul trucks cost a fortune… literally! They quoted me a price that was over twice as much as it was for me to move INTO Michigan a year and a half ago. I have done extensive research on every type of moving possibility…Pods, moving companies, ect. Nothing is cheap. Nothing is easy. I have resorted to selling/getting rid of as much as possible to lighten my load going across the country. I am basically going back to Georgia with my clothes, my computer and my scrapbooks. Oh yeah, and my Christmas tree.
My flight leaves tomorrow at 5:45am straight for Atlanta. Over the next four days I have 3 turkey dinners to consume and lots of people that will be asking for an explanation. I am considering printing out my blog and handing out copies. I also have two interviews planned for while I’m in town. After that, I will be flying back to Michigan to quickly finish my packing and will be on the road with a 12 hour drive ahead of me before I can blink.
Let the fun begin…
