Short Moving Update- 2 Weeks Out


Photo by Shopify Partners from Burst


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:

  1. Supplies: Duct tape, bleach, zipties (for hangers), carpet washer.
  2. 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.
  3. Move Services: I have to update SMUD, the internet provider, post office, DMV, my employers, my bank, and Amazon.
  4. Clean: Let's see..... This is a long one. Actually, I'll make this one its own list.

Cleaning Checklist:
  1. Wash all windows. 
  2. Dust and vacuum every corner (This means the walls!)
  3. Vacuum and wash the carpets. 
  4. Dust the ceiling fan. 
  5. Dust the overhead kitchen fan.
  6. Clean out all the gunk from the oven. 
  7. Empty and clean the fridge.
  8. Deep clean the kitchen. 
  9. Buy new drip trays for the stove top.
  10. Wipe down cabinets of the kitchen.
  11. Pack all books. 
  12. Pack all figures.
  13. Purge makeup.
  14. Throw away and buy new shower liner.
  15. Throw out all the trash from the bedroom. 
  16. Wash the dishwasher which has been unused for a long time.
  17. 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:

Weekend Update

If you've read my last post you know that I was kind of starting to freak out over the upcoming move. Then this morning I woke up groggy and spent an hour on Instagram. Here you will see how my best friend Rei asked if we were going to Michael's. So we went to Michael's. It jump-started my day and kept me from getting angsty and depressed from staying in.  Here is something I'm definitely going to be DIYing when I finish moving in. Some fam-spam. Ricky and I got sushi after. And then I started packing. I took a 2.5 hour nap. I was browsing Youtube for inspiration when Ricky suggested finishing the sushi from earlier and catching up on Luke Cage.  The night ended with writing and editing... Starting the day with breakfast, coffee, and music. Ricky and I had an interesting conversation about family, abuse, sacrifice, and commitment. And of course, it is Sunday so I watched Kalyn Nicholson's new video.  He

Advice For Late 20s?

Anyone have any good advice for a woman in her late 20s? I thought I felt lost at 20.... yeah no. I am 26 now and have a job that COULD turn into a career or it could just stay a dead end job. I have been with my corporation under different sister companies for almost 3 years and other than the experience I really don't have anything to show for it. I can very much relate to " You Go, Girl " saying that she is tired under/overwhelmed and feeling unfulfilled. I am hoping to find some advice on what to do. I'm getting tossed around at a job, and should just be grateful I am not getting laid off. But maybe I feel entitled because they had just promised me a promotion... I would love to hustle and manifest my life as I want it- but I don't know what to aim for. Feeling very lost. Guess I will see where things take me. Guess this is where I need to brainstorm, search, and make myself a vision board ... Off to Pinterest!

The Catch Up Post

It's Halloween month, I'm done moving out of my old apartment, and I've finally found my laptop charger! ~Happy times~. Now for some catching up!  First of all, BIG thanks to my sister, Najiba, for helping us clean out our old place on Sunday. We could not have finished moving out of the apartment in time without her. Seriously, moving made us miserable. But now we are in our new place. And Ricky's parents are so awesome! They brought me (yes, me! Not us -.-) wine, a wine opener, and veggie pasta. I will refrain from calling it macaroni as I guess they would disagree. For Ricky, they brought garlic bread and he was nice enough to share that with me haha. Please ignore my fingers One thing about me guys is that until about a year ago I suffered from random digestive issues. I won't get TMI now, but suffice to say I suffered. And what's worse, is that was normal for me. I never thought anything was really wrong. But there was. June 2017 was about the
