I got a carload of stuff down to Ashford where I am planning to get everything located so on moving day I just have to make one stop with the truck.
Books are heavy. Going to offload a bunch more paperbacks tomorrow at Pandemonium, a used bookstore in Cambridge. They only give store credit but I'm sure I can find someone who would buy the credit off me for 80 cents to the dollar or something like that.
Not a lot else accomplished. I need to fill out my lease application and send them a check. I keep thinking I should wait and find something better, but it seems to be an above average deal so I should just go for it.
I admit to being a little nervous about moving to Berkeley due to the high property theft rate. It's double the national average, and I *like* my stuff. I'd be pretty pissed if any of it got stolen. I will make sure to keep off-site backups of my computer for starters. Working for decades as a Sysadmin makes on security paranoid.
And another idea occurred to me.. sell my car and fly to Berkeley, and buy a car there eventually. I don't NEED one being work will be close enough to walk, let alone do a 5 minute bike trip. But cars are darn useful, and selling mien will mean taking a financial loss. But the idea of not having to spend 5 days in a car with my cats is appealing.
Choices, choices... better to have too many than too few I suppose. |
