We are moving in two weeks. I have bought 20 boxes and some trash bags. That's it. That is all I have done. It's been really busy these last couple of weeks, and it's going to be very busy in the next few as well.
So, this post is more of a personal checklist of what I have left to do. Please people, learn from my mistakes. This is my first time moving out of my own place. I have too much stuff to just fill 4 trash bags and put them in my car.
What's Left:
- Supplies: Duct tape, bleach, zipties (for hangers), carpet washer.
- Tasks: Bag remainder of all clothes. Box up all bedroom items not being used daily. Begin packing kitchen. Finish taking out trash from the purge. Vacuum the Ziploc Air Storage bags. Give back any items being stored by family.
- Move Services: I have to update SMUD, the internet provider, post office, DMV, my employers, my bank, and Amazon.
- Clean: Let's see..... This is a long one. Actually, I'll make this one its own list.
Cleaning Checklist:
- Wash all windows.
- Dust and vacuum every corner (This means the walls!)
- Vacuum and wash the carpets.
- Dust the ceiling fan.
- Dust the overhead kitchen fan.
- Clean out all the gunk from the oven.
- Empty and clean the fridge.
- Deep clean the kitchen.
Buy new drip trays for the stove top.- Wipe down cabinets of the kitchen.
- Pack all books.
- Pack all figures.
Purge makeup.- Throw away and buy new shower liner.
- Throw out all the trash from the bedroom.
- Wash the dishwasher which has been unused for a long time.
- Prep furniture for moving. (I have no clue on how to do this)
Basically, my goal is that by next weekend, the entire apartment will be packed up and mostly cleaned.
Maybe it is because I am not prepared, but it just feels so unreal. I am so excited to be moving, but also so anxious. This is definitely something that I need to do, but it's not going to be free. Or easy. But like I've heard it said before, you cannot be anxious in a place of true gratitude. So I will try and take that to heart.
Thank you for reading guys Have a great weekend! I will be cleaning, packing, and organizing. So, it'll be fun for me too. If any of you have any advice or want to call me out for waiting this long, please comment down below.
And in case any of you are moving soon and want to do better than me, here is a pin that might offer some advice:
