Panic Attack!!!

[catnapper]

Sorry to hear you're having a panic attack over it.

Here's what I would do -- go to the u-haul store, UPS, Post office, etc and buy a couple of their large boxes and some bubble wrap. Then pack your trinkets in the boxes to store in your SIL's garage. Then once wrapped take it BACK to the post office, UPS, etc and have them estimate a price. Then write down a number on the box in big letter #1, #2, #3, etc. Have the list with you as to each box's weight and how much it would cost to have her mail it to you. Then when you have the $40 to ship box #1 to you, tell your SIL that you're sending the $40 can she take box #1 and have it shipped to you. That way, in a year (or more) you can have all the trinkets sent to you and you never have to step foot in MI ever again. It might sound outrageous to spend $40 to ship each box.... but it'll be the same as gas to drive or a plane ticket... with the added bonus of never seeing the town again!

Great minds think alike, I was going to suggest the same thing! Boxes with priorities, then also if anyone's driving east, or even if you happen to return to MI for, say, a certain wedding, you can bring back important ones!

Donna I know how resourceful and determined you are. I have a feeling you will figure it out! That's a great idea Kim.

Donna, knowing that Parker is taken care of will ease your mind enormously. And Kim's idea is brilliant!!! Now all you need to do is think about how to place your NEEDED items into your car without wasting any space.

{{{{{HUGS}}}}} And good luck vibes.

Excellent idea, Kim!!!

Donna, how come every time you call me, I'm sleeping??? I was napping when you called today and my phone was downstairs with my purse. I'm sorry, sweetie.

I'll try calling you on my home from work tomorrow on your cell. That'll be around 6:15 p.m. your time.

Hugs,
Kelly

P.S. Glad I was able to help. It truly is important to feel better with your decision, move and what your plans are. Taking only what you need and knowing you'll get the rest as soon as you can, will help ease the stress and leave you room for the kitties.

I'm glad a foster home was found for Parker. Good luck with everything Donna!

I cannot offer you any help from here; I would help if I could!! The advize given here looks excellent to me. One question: do you have a towing bracket on your car? If yes, you could rent a trailer and move more stuff! Or aluggage rack on top of your car? You can always use somebody else's.

Good luck, Donna!!!
