I can so relate. I just moved a couple of months ago and even though I'd done it several times before, it just seemed like something I could not accomplish by myself. And then I would think about the date -- in one month it will be all over and I will be living in my new home. To make sure that I wouldn't forget something or wait too long to make that cable company call, I did an internet search for a moving checklist. Whoa! Lots of results, but I ended up using one here: Detailed Moving Checklist - Printable Moving Checklist for Excel. Lots was irrelevant because I was only moving across town, but it sure helped me feel more organized.

About furnishings. There is an organization called Love Inc (yeah, it's really churchy and religious) that I once donated some furniture to. They came and picked it up and told me a little bit about the couple they would be delivering it to. Later I found out there was an affiliate in the little town my folks live in and that my dad was a volunteer who helped deliver furniture. I looked it up online to try to find out how one qualifies for help, but I guess one has to call and ask. Anyway, that's just a thought I had if there was an affiliate in your neighborhood or a similar charitable organization. (Warning: the website can be quite off-putting if you are anti-religion, but I would hope they would help without being pushy.) Not pushing this one AT ALL, just putting it out there as an idea, an option, and thinking there must be other organizations who do this.

I don't think you would take offense at this; I know money is tight and moving is expensive.
