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?
If this post was helpful, please buy me a cup of coffee. :D

If you’re in the US, you can fill out your change of address on the USPS website - easy as pie!

Thanks! I didn’t know I could do that on their website.

find a family docter in the area you’re moving to who accepts your health insurance. If you haven’t any insurance yet, do so as soon as you have insurance. Then make sure the new doc gets copies of ALL your medical files!!!
You never know when you’ll need to visit a doc or the ER

Thanks. I’m going to request to pick up my files from the office, because I know from experience that doctor don’t always send it on time. (I used to work at a doctor’s office).
I hope not to use the hospital’s facilities. Unless Blue Panda messes with me, then it’s no guarantee.
Just kidding.
