Okay. Logistics time.
> I'm such an idiot for doing things so haphazardly.
Well, you were under considerable duress.
> I won't be getting my deposit back.
Are you SURE about that? Is it legal? We found out in *my* state that it is illegal for the landlord to keep the security deposit (except for the usual things like extreme damages, etc.) EVEN IF YOU MOVE OUT EARLY. My neighbor did a google search for tenants rights in my state and found a web site with interpretations of the law and citations for specific passages in the code. And remember, the law supersedes anything written in your lease. I am sure you, like everyone esle, could use the money, so it's worth a half hour of web searching.
> I have no help tomorrow to move the rest of my stuff from the old house. I had help, but they flaked. So my 76 year old father with a bad back will be driving up and we will try to do it together. He'll try to hire someone to help.
Yes. Good. Hire. I'm glad your dad is backing you up in this way.
> People have offered so I don't want to act completely self-pitiful. It's just that they're acquaintences that I barely know and I feel funny taking them up on it.
Take them up on it. Take them up on it. Do it. Do it. People like to feel useful and helpful and sometimes nice friendships can be started just through doing things together. You can buy pizza and soda aftewards and sit for a while with them. And at sometime, you can return the favor to them, or to someone else. It is a gift to other people to be able to accept the help they want to give.
> My cat projectile vomited all over the bed repeatedly this morning. Usually I can catch her and move her to an easier place to clean before she pukes but she caught me by surprise. And I've never seen her puke so much. I'm a little concerned.Poor little critter.
> So it's not noisy here, I made it up. The landlady never said what she said and I never said what I said.
Good luck with the move. Where are you moving to next? Do you feel okay about it?
