To-Do With the Old House
- Pack: Started
- Get rid of stuff not needed: Started (just took a big load to the thrift store this weekend)
- Store any stuff to be kept for some later date: Started
- Do necessary repairs or updates on the house: Started, but not much done yet
- Paint areas of the house needing new paint
- Clean the house from top to bottom: Started
- Stage the house to get rid of it
- Get out of the house to make it easier to get rid of: The family is on target with plans to move May 20th...my sister is even flying out that weekend to help
- Get rid of the house (Rent it out? Sell it?): No luck with Craigslist or "For Rent" sign, so meeting with a rental agent tomorrow...will shift to sale strategy in late May
To-Do For the New Apartment
- Decide on an apartment: Have generally narrowed down our options to on-campus housing
- Rent the apartment: Have put in student housing application
- Set up utilities (including finally getting cell phones): Have been researching cell phones and cell phone plans
- Design the apartment: Have been researching design for small apartments
- Unpack
- Buy any necessary items
- Try to achieve the design (this will be divided into more bullets once it is clear what the design entails)
To-Do For the Move in General
- Get jobs: Masasa has first interview this week
- Figure out a good schooling situation for the kids: Have visited the majority of magnet schools, and we are keeping in touch with the schools since we didn't have a CT address in time for the lottery
- Enroll the kids in school, if applicable: See above
- Get bikes and a laptop
- Teach the kids to ride bikes: As of baby girl's birthday, both kids now have a bike. Hopefully baby boy will fit on his hand-me-down bike by late summer.
- Get in shape so downsizing to one-car isn't too traumatic: Manina has started working out daily
- Find new doctors, therapists, and all that stuff: Started research
- Do all the change-of-address stuff
