DMV, SS and the Bank! Oh My!

May 3rd, 2016 at 11:42 pm

Today I took off work at 3:00 and headed over to the Social Security office. That was over in about 35 minutes ... (The actual process took about 5.) I should have my new card in a few weeks. Big Grin

Then I rushed to the DMV. Got there about 4:05. Was out of there with my new license about 4:40. I'll change title/registration after we move. Smile

About 4:42 I got into the credit union. (Next door to each other almost!) Where I then changed my name on all my accounts there. DH needs to sign the new signature card for our joint account, and then that will be finished.

---
I'm planning on calling various moving companies here to check on rates and availability for the 15th. Smile I am SO ready to be out of here! Even if that means I'll be paying rent for an empty apartment, I don't really care at this point.

I meant to pick up a tape gun and a sharpie today, but forgot. I'll do that tomorrow on my way home from Women's Ministry (we are meeting to finish making the flower pens for Mother's Day.) Then, I'm going to start packing.

I'm not going to be too worried about making sure I have *everything* packed by the 15th - just the vast majority. I also think I'll leave Internet service connected through the end of the pay cycle - that way if I'm here cleaning/packing later, I'll have access.

--
How soon should I start calling utilities to tell them the date to change them into my name? Should I wait til we've been sent the closing cost document that tells us how much of a cashier's check we need? Or, can I do it sooner?

I could barely sleep last night - mostly thanks to my allergies. That's with having taken a full load of meds. Melatonin, Allegra D 24hr, generic Nyquil, generic Flonase ... That's what I get I guess for two nights in a row of getting a bit more than 6 hours of good sleep! (Yes, I consider getting 6 hours a *good* night's rest. Mostly average 5 hrs ...) Had a massive sinus headache today too (again, with all the allergy meds in me ...)

Something's gotta give here soon. I don't want to be feeding my body all these chemicals daily forever ... especially seeing as though they seem to be not as effective.

    You may need to go see an allergist for something stronger and longer lasting.

    You can call utilities now, if something changes with the date, then let them know. Smile
    Hurry and call the movers. This is the busy season!!!!!

    That's kind of what I'm thinking too - will probably wait til after the move. Too much going on now.

    I got a call back from one of the movers - they have some guys that *might* be back in time to do the move on the 15th. He'll know for sure by tomorrow - is going to call me then to figure out an estimate if it's possible. (Two other places I tried don't work on weekends.)

    I will call the utilities then! Smile Just wasn't sure if it was too soon.

    I have heard that eating local honey can help build up your defenses against seasonal allergies. I guess because the honey is made from local bees who are into all the stuff you are allergic to...I just heard that from an anti meds, organic vegan girl I work with. Might be worth googling to see if anyone has had any experience with that or if it is just a myth.

    Butterscotch,

    I tried that for awhile last year. DH thinks that maybe the honey wasn't local enough to do any good. I hope to try again this year when a more local place starts selling it.

    I couldnt do the utility swap until i'd signed papers for the house.

    I've heard that local honey thing too...I used to think it kind of made sense, but now I feel like it resembles homeopathy (which is complete bullpucky). So I don't know.

    My BIL (who lives in your town) believes the local honey has helped him with allergies. I think they actually buy it at Super Saver. Or go to the Farmers Market downtown and see if that helps. I've also been doing a lot of reading about how most of us our magnesium deficient...which can affect 350 processes in our body. I 'think' I read it can assist with allergies. Let me know if you want some links!

    My parents use homeopathic remedies from time to time. I've personally seen the ones they use work. They aren't usually my go to, but I think can be useful. Or bodies are always striving for balance and have amazing healing properties.
