It's been an exciting few weeks.  A great mix of friends, car troubles, anxiety, and apartment hunting.  I've been coming off one medicine, but I feel like the stress of this move is getting to me.  I still haven't been able finalize an apartment (anything with a credit check is terrifying after years of medical debt).  I have a short list, but still haven't one that meets all our preferences.  I'd really rather not get trapped like we did moving to Seattle, but we've got much better tools for finding a place now than during that move.  Between walkscore, padmapper, and placeofmine I've been able to put together a short list, and ensure they're within close enough to work/groceries, and not in high crime areas.  Just need to contact them and confirm somethings, then decide which of our preferences we can compromise on.

It doesn't help that for the past few weeks I've been dizzy and fatigued.  I'm not sure if this is brought on by stress or illness, but pseudoephedrine and mucinex seem to help with the worst of it.  Of course, those knock me out, so that doesn't help with getting things done.

On the plus side, we've really pared down what we're bringing with us, and picked up a roof top carrier that will hold almost all the clothes.  The ferry is booked, the cat's flight and the shipment of supplies are booked, everything in my slowly failing hard drive has been backed up onto an external, we have all the gear we'll need to sleep on the boat, the couch is at the dump, and I've got a good checklist of next steps going.
