seasleepySo I'm moved out of my apartment. That was an... odd experience. I mean, it can be a little bit weird, yes, but this is the first time I've had my own place, and thus the first time I've moved out of my own place. I had to do the old walk around the rooms and sort of stare at where all my stuff used to be. My parents' house is "home" now (as it has been in my cell phone -- a carryover from college -- and as it will be officially for the next few months, at least until I get paperwork done). Being here at my parents', I'm still expecting in the back of my mind to climb back into the car and head back to the apartment.
The big suck at the moment is... I've had to move my flight back a week. Which is a very big suck. And the reason I'm having to do it is yet more suck. Why? Remember this? It wasn't a huge deal at the time -- my car got about 3 visible dents, and I thought nothing of it (I'm from Amarillo, everyone's got hail damage) and didn't bother with getting it fixed. Fast forward to me trying to sell the car at the dealership in CS and getting a MASSIVELY lowball offer because I supposedly have "$2000-2500 worth of damage" (also probably because I'm a girl and I was there alone -- I already have stuff from the insurance estimating under $1500). So between me trying to get the insurance going and then getting it fixed and then trying to sell it again... it was just not going to be possible in under a week. I still may have to just give up and sell it, but we'll see.
The positive thing is I'm flying on miles, and I can apparently change the date without any fee (as long as there are awards flights available, which seems to be not an issue at all on the flights I'm taking). So if I can get this done any earlier (or if other circumstances intervene), I can move it again. The other positive thing is I have some more time to put things in boxes properly and ship them off. I really don't know how we would have gotten everything out of my apartment with just my mom's car. As it was we were still pretty rushed, but we got everything out and cleaning and things done, thanks to my mom. :)
I managed to pick an awesome time to move</sarcasm>. Most of my furniture went out on the hottest day in 4 years (it got up to 102, heat indexes were probably close to 110), and it was around that temperature every day we were moving. Today of course was Erin. (The positive thing is that I was moving everything out of my apartment yesterday instead of today.) And Dean may get in on the fun next week (although it's honestly got a long way to go before I need to have any particular concern about it).
So yes: busy crazy time. And I wish I could just get on a plane already.
