Limbo
Posted: Sun 4 September, 2022 Filed under: Domestic, Getting Organised 1 Comment »At the moment I’m in the midst of the part of the moving process that I hate the most – stasis. It drives me crackers.
For now, I’ve done everything I can. 85-90% of the house is packed up (probably more, thinking about it) other than stuff I use most days.
I’ve done all the financial bits – the deposit, the first month’s rent and so on – but still don’t have the keys (I collect those tomorrow) so until then I’m not entirely convinced it’ll happen. I know, it’s ridiculous, but until those keys are in my hand it doesn’t feel like it’s real.
Once I’ve got them then it’ll be full-speed ahead. (Although again, that’ll still involve some waiting) I can get utilities here cancelled, and others set up for the new place.And, of course, ordering some stuff I need (furniture and the like) to be delivered to the new place.
I’ve already got a moving date in place, and I need to do some admin around that, but it’ll be fine. Then it’ll be about making sure I get the current place cleaned up (which is also already booked in) and be done and out by the end of September.
But for now, it’s all in limbo, all on hold, and it’s idiotically frustrating. I just want to get on with it now.
Are you in now?
It’s good that you have an overlap.
How people manage to move out of one place and into another on the same day is beyond me, especially if they have lived somewhere for a number of years.
Happy New House! And enjoy the space.
