The Move is On
I tentatively have a house to rent in Oak Ridge ... Yay!I haven't really seen the inside of it yet ... not this one in particular. I have seen two others that the same people own, and they are the same style and layout. BIG! 3 bedrooms, tons of storage space. It's a "C house" for those of you familiar with the cemestos in OR. This one is in a really nice neighborhood near the middle of town. I will be about 3 miles from work, my daughter will be less than two from school. Luckily, it is just outside the "walk zone" so she will have the option of riding the bus. Depending on the day of the week, phase of the moon and time of day, my son is either excited or dismayed about moving. Go figure. No one is arguing that we need the room desperately.
The big move, if all goes according to plan, will happen August 10 and 11. Those are my days of from work. So, I have about two weeks to pack, notify, transfer, etc. My brain is about to go into meltdown. I haven't moved in over 6 years and then I had the luxury of taking my time, and a flexible work schedule. I cringe at the thought of how much junk I have accumulated over the years and what it will take to get it all packed up. I don't even want to think about how much this will cost ... I have to pay two months rent up front, get a U-haul truck, pay for the cable to be installed, my daughter needs a bed, and could really use a computer of her own, the house will need stuff too, I wish I could afford new furniture ... I need a winning lottery ticket! Yeah! That's it!
Pictures and progress updates to come ...
Yes! I am recruiting volunteers and would love to have your help, and anyone else you can drag along. I am hoping that a couple other buddies can help too, and I bet ya'll would get on just famously. It would be a real party! I have a post updating the sitch now ... the move date is August 10 and 11.
