[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 657420, member: 1963"] Cat 1, aka Squeaky, other than repeatedly attempting to get herself packed and make the move via Bekins Moving and Storage, is handling things quite well. Thomas is a nervous wreck. I am beginning to suspect he lost his "good" home when his original owners were forced to move, (and didn't care enough to) and didn't fined a place that allowed cats. So far, we're getting a lot of wandering around mrowling, but he can be consoled and reassured out of it. If he gets really bad, he'll go back on tranqs until we're settled. I'm not really that organized...if you could only see the scraps of paper everything is written down on. Said scraps of paper are organized to the point of being stuffed in the same drawer. Closest thing I've come to real organization is having all the dates and numbers in "sticky notes" on my laptop, and numbers and addresses in my phone. There will still be a lot of "last minute panic", and I am especially not looking forward to the time period between the AM of the 10th, and the AM of the 12th, and the 10th is when the movers come, I camp out here with the cats (the place is selling partially furnished), load up the car the night of the 11th, Dump the litter pans, bag them up, crate up the cats, turn over the keys and title, run the check to the bank, and hit the road. Somewhere in there on the 10th, I'll have to pick up cat litter and a bag of food, if I don't have sufficient left over to carry me for a few days once I get to Milwaukee. I'll be living on carry-out/fast food, which means my guts will be in a uproar by the time I leave. On the 11th, I have to stop at the Post Office and have my mail forwarded to my BFF's where I'll be staying until the apt opens up and I get enough stuff moved in to move myself and the furkids in. I just spoke to the property manager at the complex who had originally said they'd have the apt ready to show by the first week of July, though he is hoping it will be ready to move into by the 15rh of July. They took down a bunch of posters in the bedroom that my BFFs had commented on when they viewed the flat, and discovered that they were covering a large number of holes in the drywall, so what was supposed to be a "prime and paint" job instead turned into some pretty extensive patching. They do have an identical unit on the 1st floor that differs only in having a balcony instead of a patio, that will be open in June, that they can show me. I'll drive out to take a look at that one to get an idea of window heights/locations, register locatsions, etc, so I can start ordering furniture. Cedar, when I say bedding in that context, I mean a "mattress set", sorry about that. For sheets and the like, I got with "must be over 400 thread count" and that's about it. For some reason, I kill fitted sheets, and I get my toenails done regularly, by a podiatrist, no less! I usually get my sheets on sale at Kohl's or ShopKo up here, likely to be Kohl's or Target "down South" I also still have not found out for certain if I have to have my car emissions tested in order to transfer the registration, which the state of WI, gives me a whole ten days to do once I officially change residences, same with driver's license. Luckily, they will now accept a lease as sole proof of address. Used to be they also wanted a piece of "official" mail such as a utility bill. So, now...I'm not "organized" at all. This is nothing more than a frantic attempt to stave off a complete panic attack. [/QUOTE]
