I moved halfway across the country(NJ to TX) 10 years ago, my move went ok but another co-worker was supposed to move about 3 months later. As he was packing the truck he heard on the news there were tornados near the new place and figured let me just check..
He called up his new apartment complex to confirm everything was OK... "we'll call you back" an hour later he got a phone call "sorry your apartment no longer exists"
He had 5 days to finish packing, drive 29 hours, find a new apartment, do all the paperwork, unpack, return the moving truck, and come to work at 6am the 6th day. I don't know how he did it but he did.
No matter how bad it is, it could always be worse.
