We - the four of us helping and me - got in our vehicles and drove to my new place. It didn't take long to unload, and then we stood outside my new apartment while one of my coworkers had a smoke. My other coworker told me he was going to use some of his … Continue reading Big Changes, Part 3

Big Changes, Part 2
My ex seemed to accept what I said about moving at the end of June. I suspected he was thinking "roommate" in quotation marks and honestly, he was probably so busy thinking about that it never occurred to him that I might be up to anything else. The people that would be able to help … Continue reading Big Changes, Part 2
Big Changes
I stopped posting for a bit due to a combination of lack of energy and not wanting to talk about what was happening out of an excess of paranoia that my ex might have found my blog and that I'd tip him off. After the failed mediation, my attorneys advised me to get housing as … Continue reading Big Changes
Catching Up On The Week
Wednesday evening, I got a message from (Indiana) M asking if I'd mind coming over Thursday morning and helping her do some packing. This was something I'd already offered, but she probably wouldn't have taken me up on it if it hadn't been for the fact that she had the flu for two days and … Continue reading Catching Up On The Week
A Few Observations After Moving
Something I miss about the suburbs of Chicago - street lights on the corner, so that even if you're behind a large truck, you can still see if the light has changed. I think I'll miss the sound of the trains, too. In spite of the fact that my brain tainted them with association with … Continue reading A Few Observations After Moving
Relocation Achieved
Well, the relationship between my husband and I did not devolve to the point we couldn't live under the same roof together, so I've reached my first goal, which was to get to Indiana without having relapsed into a major depression, first. The movers commented on how we had more boxes than furniture. This is … Continue reading Relocation Achieved
More Assorted Bits And Pieces
I woke up this morning and found that Comcast had canceled our internet service at our current residence even though they weren't supposed to do that until the 21st. We've never had a good experience with Comcast and have only used them because they are the only option here. My husband had to spend an … Continue reading More Assorted Bits And Pieces
6 Days
I think today is going to require managing anxiety. We're in the homestretch now. Including today, we have 6 days. How do we still have so much stuff left to deal with when we've been working on this for so long already? I had a suspicion my husband was underestimating how much we needed to … Continue reading 6 Days
Everything Seems To Be Going Well, And That’s Suspicious
We got extremely lucky. The couple that placed a hold on the apartment we wanted backed out, and we've already applied and been approved. As soon as I knew we were approved, I pulled up google maps to take a look at the surrounding area and discovered the location is even better than I'd realized. … Continue reading Everything Seems To Be Going Well, And That’s Suspicious
Adventures in Moving
We've received the official written confirmation that my husband's transfer has been approved and so yesterday morning, early, we loaded the whole family in the van and drove three hours to what will be our new state so that we could view apartment complexes and find out if we liked any of the ones I'd … Continue reading Adventures in Moving
