Countdown to Moving Day...One Week Before Your Move!

OK...so you're now one week out from your move day.  Likely you're stressed, sore from all that packing, and ready to make your new house your home.  Here are some tips to make this last week as easy as possible...

• Pack a "survival kit" for each person in your household...for what to include, see The Essentials...Don't Leave Home Without Them!
• Place all items not to be moved in a separate area (closet or bathroom is good) and clearly label "DO NOT MOVE" on the door.  Don't forget to put the following in this specially marked area: KEYS!!, phone, purse, wallet, checkbook, address book, your "survival kit" for each person, small electronics (ie. iPods, mp3 players, camera).
• Transfer any prescriptions to your new pharmacy.
• Transfer newspaper delivery to your new address.
• Use up any perishable food items and defrost all refrigerators and freezers.  Time for a party!! 
• Dispose of all items too dangerous to move, including flammables such as paint, varnish, and thinners; gasoline; kerosene and oil; bottled gas; aerosol cans; nail polish and remover; ammunition and explosives; corrosives; and cleaning fluids and detergents.
• If you're not planning to move your plants, now may be a good time to hand them off to your friend or neighbor - watering plants will likely not be your 1st priority this week!

Now that you've made it through one of the toughest weeks of your life, stay tuned for tomorrow for tips on the big move day!
