I bet someone local can get you an airbed, shrift.

3 weeks seems like an awful lot of wiggle room on their part.
Peak moving season. Ugh.
Can you have them pack everything but your bed?
I think they're going to pack and load the same day, so I don't think this will work for me?

The packers will do things like pack trash cans with trash in them, because they're not going to make any decisions about what stays and what goes.
Ugh, yeah. I need to pack clothes and toiletries and jewelry and paperwork in suitcases and put them aside, and then post-it note everything that I do want them to move in shared spaces. Which means I need to separate everything in the kitchen ahead of time.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Gotcha. Can you...spend an extra day at the VVC hotel? (I realize that's got a cost associated with it, I'm just running on the assumption that you would prefer to attend the con on Friday.)
Or the airbed option?

OMG, yes. The horror stories some of my shipmates had about transcontinental moves where everything shipped via slow boat to China.
All the bad news is too depressing to talk about, but I still want to acknowledge it. World, quit sucking.

I can't pack the Wednesday or Thursday before VVC because I have work meetings. I could take Tuesday 8/4 off for pack & load, or Monday 8/10. But the Monday after VVC means I'd definitely be without my stuff for longer.
I have decision fatigue.

What are people doing this weekend?
I have to go to a work social event. Don't wanna.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The longest move I've ever done was ~6 hours, and I packed myself. Sorry you're getting such vagueness, shrift.
