Rather than sit and let the panic overwhelm me, I'm making a list of everything in Category A as a means of making it appear semi-manageable.
My to-do list can be found after the cut.
High Priority
- Sell my car. (This will, hopefully, be done this weekend.)
- Get new glasses.
- Get to the dentist.
- Order my new computer (The shipping estimate is 3-4 weeks.)
- Get my immunization records from Kaiser and have them sent to school.
- Fill out a ton of paperwork and mail it to school by August 1.
- Have my official undergrad transcript sent to school by August 1.
- Laundry. So. Much. Laundry.
- Get the stuff I have stored at friends' houses out of their houses and either sold or packed.
- Pack all the stuff that I have in my own apartment and sell anything that I'm not taking with me.
- Get together with my friends from undergrad to say goodbye and consume beer.
- Buy sheets, a shower curtain, and a bathroom rug. Also possibly trash cans.
- Hang out with Best Friend who'll be in town Wednesday to Sunday. (I'm moving to the city where she now lives, but I haven't seen her in a while.)
- Meet with the HR lady at work to find out if they pay out my unused sick days, or just vacation days. If they don't pay out sick days, take a sick day.
- Finish as much of the blanket that I'm knitting as I can. The goal is to be able to sleep under it by the time the cold weather hits. (The original goal was to finish it before I move, but that's not happening.)
- Clean the hell out of my apartment. (This can wait until my mom gets here at the end of the month, if need be.)
- Get a coffee maker with a timer and a new alarm clock.
Ahh, making a checklist is a great idea. I have a lot of the same stuff to take care of that I've been putting off.
ReplyDeleteI've learned that I often can't function until I've put everything I need to do into list form. Unfortunately, I've also learned that when I'm stressed out making lists is something that I put off because the very idea of seeing everything in black-and-white scares me. Still, once a list is made, I feel better. I need to remember this. I really, really need to remember this.
