Countdown to Movination!
So, a couple of things to my loyal readership - as it turns out, it wasn't the St Kilda East Property we'd gotten, but a property in West Footscray. Which I'm not complaining about at all, seeing as it's a house, and a house that's about similar distance away from work, for exactly the same price. The reason for why I got confused is a funny one, and mostly revolves around confirmation bias and my noted tendency to miss vital parts of conversations and why you really do need to make sure about the confirmation questions you ask.

So, the day of the Keys is this Saturday, so lots of things need doing. Among the list:

  • Actually Sign Lease and Give 1st month's rent.

  • Arrange the Water connection.

  • Arrange the Gas & Power connection.

  • Arrange the Phone and Internet connection.

  • Call Man with a Van to arrange a Moving Van.

  • Acquire further boxes for moving.

  • Change Addresses with everyone.

  • Set up a mail redirect for the inevitable one or two important groups I'll miss.

  • Press-gang Invite friends over to help with packing.

  • Check with [info]alissakalisti as to whether she's coming over for moving day or not, and Press-gang Invite her to help move/pack if she is.

  • Arrange Carpet Cleaners.

  • Decide whether I'm doing big clean-up, or whether I'm hiring professional cleaners for the purpose.

  • Act on above decision.

At the moment I'm torn between wanting to be there, to see the place and put my emotional stamp on it with you guys; and economic conservatism which is saying "that's $200 in travel costs which you will help sustain you for another week which you will most likely need because you will be POOR!!1"

...so, uhh, yeah.

Also, I'm notoriously weak and low-stamina'd, so I don't know how much help I'd be with moving anyway!

Let me see where Rhiannon will be on the weekend before I offer to help, she isn't much fun in a moving situation :)
