well, here is an update on my move. It was brutal because property manager would not give me a move in date and i had already given notice in old apt. She gave me about 2 days notice. It would not matter if I had a week or so off, but I tutor online and I needed to set up internet etc. So I got a week in a motel in Centralia. My car, which worried me and I had just dumped money into, is going to be donated. It just does not start reliably. I had stuff all over the place. Thanks to my sister and her grandson I think most of it is moved in now. Still is a move in mess - lots of storage but ten feet high. There is a nice thrift store a few blocks away. Likewise a KFC and my church. There is a nice school a few blocks away and I hope to get either some sub jobs Monday all day and mornings other days -- don't care what I do. The less the better as I will keep tutoring in afternoons. Great dial a ride service. Have not figured out regular bus. Anyway, I like it quite a lot. I like not being by ocean where sooner or later there will be a tsunami. Nice brick apartment building in lovely neighborhood and close to downtown. unfortunately not close to food source other than KFC but can bus to safeway etc.
