17 September, Monday

By this day I realized I was overwhelmed and losing my mind. I KNEW I had tools somewhere. Mental tools. I have to cancel the gas, call this person, rent a U-haul maybe, get loads of bubble wrap, sell books and cds. Plan a moving sale. What in hell am I going to do about my car?!! The best thing I did was print out a two week calender and like a war strategy, plan out my retreat from LA. Day by Day. This wee two page calender saved me from going insane many times. I recommend. I won't bore my gentle readers with day by day news of my departure, but it involved two phones, a lot of sitting on the floor surrounded by STUFF, Craigslist, Craigslist, Craigslist.
