my superpower

if i had to define my superpower i would say it the ability to plan, plan, plan. I am an A-1 planner and can plan every detail to the tee. I think of every possible outcome, every possible hitch, and overall the best possible way to do something.

this is currently coming in handy with my upcoming move. i need to find a job, find an apartment, and figure out the cheapest way to get my stuff from here to there.

where am i going you ask? back to brooklyn, ny! i am leaving chicago (insert sad face) and heading back to brooklyn in order to be near the boyfriend. (since he refuses to move here.)

ultimately i am hoping that his connections along with my veracity while enable me to get a job. finding an apartment is easy; finding good roommates or a place without fleas, roaches, or flies is infinitely harder. especially since i'm on the budget from hell.

now the moving... if you've been reading this blog from the start, you already know how amazing i am at planning the packing part of a move. the first time i moved in chicago i was able to fit all of my belongings into the truck and back seat of a 4-door car (a dodge charger, which i fell in love with). this last time i planned every box, with the only upset being that my mattress was too tall for the van i had rented.

this go-around my mother is driving up from georgia to help out. we'll rent the largest trailer u-haul will give us, pack it up, and drive it halfway across the country to brooklyn. this will be a godsend if i can scrape together the money to pay for gas, hotel, and the like. we'll see...

otherwise i haven't even gotten to the packing or the planning of the packing yet. still in the job and apartment-hunting phase. without both i shouldn't really move. wish me luck!
