Today, tomorrow, Monday, Tuesday: wrap things up in the lab (how much am I forgetting), finish my talk for the conference in San Francisco. Finalize my budget for start-up expenses in NY (requested by the dean in order to finalize hiring paperwork).

Saturday and Sunday: Do the bulk of the packing up around the house.

Wednesday through Sunday, January 8: Conference in San Francisco

Sunday night: Fly to AZ
Monday morning: keys to new housepartment*, head to campus, teach, deal with campus logistics
Tuesday-Wednesday: Teach and get situated, maybe get a bit of work done?
Wednesday night: Fly back to CA
Thursday morning: Pick up moving truck, pack it up, start driving. I hope the 16-foot truck is adequate for the job. I am having flashbacks to Nebraska, where cleaning and packing up took WAY longer than I'd hoped. Hence all the advance-cleaning here.

Again, I'm relieved that I won't be trying to make decisions about what to take with me vs. what to leave in storage. There's enough cognitive load as it stands.

So instead I am wondering things like, hmm, should I see how much it would cost to have Tempe Sales reupholster the semi-janky loveseat to make it un-janky?

Anyway.
