and I don't even know where I'll be living yet.

Not sure if it's worthwhile, but you might consider finding a sublet to arrive here. I'd at least check Craigslist because it is summer after all. Or long term stay via Air BNB or something. Easier to look when you're on the ground.

I'll definitely keep it in mind. If I can't find anything while I'm out there, that would be a good option.

I just need to remind myself to breathe. I'm in a good spot with moving prep because I've already done a ton of work getting rid of junk. I'm already working on eating from the pantry and freezer. I am a reasonably functional human being who can do this.

You can totally do this. And you have a lot of support here. Even if you just want to come over, ring our doorbell, trudge upstairs, watch Winter Soldier while we feed you and hand you cold cocktails and then drive you home.

Also, scenic landscapes on my new tv? Kinda amazing. Imma gonna appreciate PBS so much more. Technology improves in 20 years, doncha know?

I think my 19 year old TV may not last much longer. I think the brightness has been fading lately.

FWIW, this is exactly what I did when I moved from NJ to VA. I sublet a townhouse off Craigslist for 6 months. The person listing it was a realtor, and my niece scouted the area, so that added confidence that I wasn't getting a craphole. I ended up buying the place, so it worked out well!

I went over to Anna's at 9:15 to say goodnight. All of a sudden it's 12:15, I'm happy and I have the sense memory of her lips against mine.

Eta: not sense memory. What do you call it when your lips still feel the sensation of kissing?

Really, really good.

Also what I did when I moved to Seattle--Plei checked for me and it was some girl who was traveling for her job for six weeks. I flew out with a few suitcases and my stuff came eventually and was put in storage until I found my actual apartment (where I lived for over two years)

Oh, goodness. DH's high school reunion recently happened, I guess - some of his classmates just sought me out on facebook to let me know they are making a donation in his memory. People can be awfully sweet.

I'm gonna go with afterglow, tommyrot. So good to see your happy posts!

Aw, that's great Tommy!
