Emily, do you have an address in CA already? If so, you could always ship some stuff to yourself. I did that once, shipped a few boxes UPS to my new abode.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Er... no. Once things start happening, they're going to be happening fast.

Emily, definitely check out Craig's list.

I've been looking there as well as other places, but why specifically Craig's List? It's a bit harder to search there than some other places -- what benefits do you feel like it offers?

Oh, and I'm off to bed now. Will check in for replies tomorrow.

Thanks Frank, it's in the queue. Of course, my queue is so big that it'll probably be a year before I see it, but at least I don't have to think about it now.
And bummer, I missed Consuela's hair too.
I need a haircut.

I've had good luck with it, that's all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Emily, don't bother driving. You might like highway driving, but will you like it in a rented truck/minivan?
Be absolutely ruthless on your side of the country. Toss, toss, toss. I tossed most of everything that I couldn't ship via Amtrak (so freaking cheap compared to most options), and bought anew here. It was the most straighforward and economical thing to do.
Okay, so I did drive, and there were things (like my computer) that couldn't go Amtrak, and I wouldn't have wanted to wait for anyway, but if you have to ship a few things a different way, it's still cheaper. And the discipline of tossing now is good for you.
I just woke up. Am screwed. On the up side, the migraine is gone. And the dreams I was having aren't true. Also, I'm eating apricot mango Greek yoghurt.
The down side is pretty obvious, even if you don't know I was supposed to get the car washed at around 4:30, but had a lay down instead.

I hate it when that happens, ita. I hope you feel better, and that the car wash is the only thing you missed.

There were other errands that should have been done, but nothing pressing. I'll lie to myself and tell myself I'll do them tomorrow, but between teaching in the morning and fighting some blue belt candidates in the afternoon, it's a wee bit unlikely.
I so very rarely nap that long. Half an hour, hour tops.
