We followed multiple how-to articles about moving cross-country with pets, but we made mistakes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We moved cross-country a week after my 13-year-old dog had surgery and during one of the worst heatwaves in the past decade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-155 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/regularlywe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Plato-Moving-SMALL.png?resize=100%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dog Moving Cross Country With Pets\" width=\"100\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are <\/span><b>FIVE MISTAKES you can avoid <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">when planning your own<\/span><b> move cross-country.<\/b><\/h3>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mistake Number 1: <\/span><b>No Break From Work<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I moved cross-country, I decided I\u2019d take advantage of remote work and not use any vacation days. This was stupid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our trip took 10 days (we stopped in Colorado to see some friends). I took a grand total of 3 days off work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I thought I was being smart and saving time off. All I did was majorly stress myself out. The change in climate, lack of sleep, and utter exhaustion led to a stye in each eye. Plus, I had a panic attack by the time we reached Utah.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My moving tip for people who move cross-country is to take time off to pack. Take time off to drive. Take time off to relax.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I worked far too much during our packing which led to my partner doing most of the packing. I worked while traveling cross-country which meant less time to enjoy the drive. Also, I worked while my body literally created cysts. Just\u2026 take time off, people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mistake Number 2: <\/span><b>Not Hiring Movers<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dan and I knew we\u2019d need movers in Portland. Neither of us has any friends or family in the city, and I am too weak to help him carry our furniture. Thus, I booked us movers to unload our PODS in Portland, but we thought we were SO SMART and SO FRUGAL to do all the packing and loading in Chicago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>We were not smart.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We were, in fact, idealistic and very, very stupid about our move cross-country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are both in our 30s with problematic backs, and I had an entire house to pack up. While we thought we were <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">saving money,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we broke ourselves emotionally, physically, and psychologically.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the three days leading up to the move, I had two <\/span><b>anxiety attacks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Dan almost suffered heatstroke, and we ended up giving up and just leaving a third of my belongings in my back alley for neighbors to choose from.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We ran out of time and energy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not be like us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My moving tip is to save up the extra 500 dollars and hire the second round of movers. You\u2019re already spending an arm and a leg to move cross-country, so just do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mistake Number 3: <\/span><b>Not Planning for the Weather<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I first planned to move to Portland, I assumed I\u2019d move in March.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nope, I moved at the end of July\/Early August. This also happened to be a record-breaking year where it was so hot, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">houses started to melt in Seattle.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The car had air conditioning, but it was working OVERTIME, and not very effective. I also live with a smoker, so we rolled windows down the whole drive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of day one, we stopped in Nebraska to a cool <\/span><b>98 degrees<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We woke up, and it was <\/span><b>104 degrees<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had a recently post-opp dog we needed to stretch, a man whose whole body was rejecting the past two weeks of loading the pod, and me\u2026 cranky, PMS having, just spent two weeks eating fried food and bloated beyond belief, hate the heat, me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Do NOT drive cross country in July\/August unless you like to sweat out every bit of moisture<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The average temperature for our 10-day drive stayed 101, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">my average level of discomfort was 101 on a scale of 100<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mistake Number 4:\u00a0 <\/span><b>Not reading the fine print<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, <\/span><b>I love planning<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I also think I know better than websites and SOMETIMES skim the fine print (or do not read it at all).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I successfully booked us a pod and pod delivery, reserved the street in front of our apartment building, paid so I could tow people who stole our spot, and hired Portland movers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What I did<\/span><b> NOT <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">notice is that in order to have the parking actually enforced, I needed to rent Barricades for the street. These barricades needed to sit on the street for a week before I needed the parking enforced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Portland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where I would <\/span><b>not<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, I did figure this out, but I had to rush rent street barricades from a block party shop in Portland. Pay extra to have others put them up. Had to ask my new building to make sure they stayed there, and I needed to eat crow at how poorly I handled it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the plus side, ordering barricades is a skill I now have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also ended up having to pay a damage fee because a city bus drove over one the day we moved in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-156 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/regularlywe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Broken-Barricade-Portland-SMALL.png?resize=120%2C120&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Portland Moving Cross Country Barricades\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving tip: Read the contract and fine print of every document you sign.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mistake Number 5: <\/span><b>Not taking Me-Time<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, I love being alone. I am a <\/span><b>loud introvert<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and when I spend too much time around people, I become a raisin of a human. Well, if raisins were unstable crying monsters who hated humanity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two months before we moved, we started the process of moving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dan, also an introvert, had a long list of people he needed to say goodbye to. I had a slightly shorter list because I greatly underestimated the number of people who would want to see me before I went.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We made this <\/span><b><i>genius<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> choice to say \u201cyes\u201d to everything people asked us to do before our move. We both were fully vaccinated, Delta Variant hadn\u2019t popped up yet, and all our friends and family were vaxxed. We thought \u201cthis is safe, let\u2019s do this, we will regret it if we do not.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We just, were very, very wrong, about how this would affect us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I socialized more in the two months leading up to our move than I had the entirety of the pandemic combined.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This meant, when we got in the car to drive, we were not only physically exhausted, but we were so socially drained that we drove in silence for the first day. We did not play music. We did not listen to podcasts. We barely spoke except to say \u201ccow\u201d and \u201clook at the doggie.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I took more <\/span><b>ME<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> time, I may have looked forward to every plan I made in those two months. If I took more <\/span><b>me-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">time, I may not have cried my eyes out the entire weekend we were moving because we had put off so many imperative things.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>TAKE YOUR ME-TIME<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving cross-country is something I\u2019ve now done 3 times. It was much harder in my 30\u2019s than it was at 18. That being said, it was totally worth it.
