Two Places at Once

Trying to live in two places at once is quickly wearing thin. I've worked out a "move this first" list and have been working to figure out exactly how to accomplish the smoothest possible move. Yea, good luck. It seems like no matter where I'm at I don't have the one thing that I really, really, really need at that moment. Ah well. . .

The plan right now is to gentle move about 10% of my stuff each trip to the cabin over a 10 trip period. That needs to be coordinated with giving up my 22 year old lease on my apartment here in Ann Arbor! The target right now is to be completely moved as of the end of March.

I will have paid two months of rent at the month-to-month rate which is much higher than my old lease, but the alternative was to be moving in December and January! Speaking of wintry weather, that's another factor that comes into play when moving. You have to time both ends so that there is reasonable temperatures, light, and no precipitation.

Regardless of the hassles of moving, it will be worth it once its done. It's like all of the construction work - it was fun and exciting, sometimes frustrating - but in the end it was worth the savings of not hiring it all out.
