Aack!

Anyone have any time to spare? So, by the 31st, I will need to have all my stuff packed and out of my apartment, and some sort of plan in place as to where I will go at that point. Do I have a plan? Not really. Oddly enough, I haven't even started to panic yet. Okay, well not completely panic - maybe there's a little panic, or something more like unease.

This is where a moving planner would be nice. I could concentrate on the packing and sorting process, and the planner could take over all the logistical arrangements. The planner could find a place to put my stuff, make arrangements to get my stuff to the place, make arrangements to get Callie and I and any leftover stuff to another place. Arranging these things are what I find stressful.

At this point, it's looking like it may be easier to rent a moving truck and use it to take all my stuff, Callie, and I somewhere. My problem is that I don't want to drive a moving truck. I spent the whole time I drove one of them from Montana clutching the wheel and trying to stay calm. Anyone want to drive a moving truck from Bloomington to ... oh, maybe Omaha? If so, let me know. I considered a one-way car rental, but for the love of dogs... that's just a tad expensive, not to mention rule-laden.

Apparently experimenting with reducing your carbon footprint by not owning a vehicle only really works if you never want to drive, rent, or otherwise interact with a vehicle again. Otherwise, you are a suspicious entity for not having a vehicle in the first place. I'm thinking I should never mention that I don't have a TV, either.
