I think I need a to do list. And I think I'll put it here so that you can point out all the stuff I've forgotten. This is the order that I'm thinking of it, not the order it needs to get done. Some needs to not get done for a while. But I can cross things out as I go.
- Health Insurance
Figure out how to sign up for the student health ins planmake an appointment with my current doctor to do the new student health paperwork
- House/Car/Appt insurance
Start by talking to John at Nationwide and then figure out where to go from there- John says get to Boston, get a carrier for up there, see if they can cover the house here, if yes be done, if no he'll arrange the policy to go from homeowner to landlord but it will be more expensive.
Figure out how to cash in my life insuranceIn July make sure my CD doesn't automatically renew and get it into BofA- In August close the MM account and get it into BofA
Get a storage unit booked beginning Aug 1Pick a move date an book a truck- Figure out what you need to get a resident parking permit in Boston and if you can do it before arriving. And if not how do we make sure the car and truck don't get tickets on the first day?
- House stuff
Find a lease template on line - Meet with Darryl to sign lease
Ask Darryl if he wants anything like the sectional couch or library bookshelves to stay where they are (and hope he says yes) he said yestar the roof- Clear out the basement
- All the house prep stuff that the lease says I've done before Darryl moves in
- Smoke detectors batteries
- thorough clean
- replace furnace filters
- trim back all the trees
In July ship the DA computer and DVDs back to Eric- Sort stuff
Clear everything out of the living room and dining roommark the dining room for 10x10Put into the living room anything that's going in the yard sale/donationsPut into the dining room anything that's going into storage.Be done by mid July so that you know what's not fitting into storage before the yard sale- (Poor Blue is going to hate this)
- The going to Boston stuff can either stay where it is (bedroom stuff) or go back in the office if it needs to get out of the living room or dining room
In July try on every article of clothing. It either fits comfortably or gets donated. (Start running now so you can keep more of the clothes you like)
- Take care of the dog
- get her licensed in Boston
get copies of all her vet records from vet herestockpile the assorted pills (or maybe figure out how to buy them on line, which might be cheaper as well)
quite the list!
ReplyDeleteSo, no parking lot with the apartment complex? Too bad. You can pack a lot into a 10 x 10. Think in 3D.
ReplyDeleteKate: so you don't think I'm missing anything?
ReplyDeleteKaren: that's why I'm using the dining room as a 10x10 staging area. It will help me figure it all out.
I've been playing apartment Tetris.
Remember I told you that we saw a DMV sign at the Yarmouth exit on 6A? It seems that location would be a whole lot easier than the DMV in Boston.
ReplyDeleteI am certain that it would. But also I will need to get there and I don't think I'll be up before the move. I should ask the building management if there is like a guest pass or something I can get for a week while I figure it all out.
