I'm in Los Angeles, Detroit, in the Basin (West LA). A good location here too as we can walk to the shops, and DH gets the bus into work, so we actually use the car very little.
Don't worry. It'll be fine. If you can afford a taxi or a Lyft, I'd say it's probably a good idea. Then you'll be done after one trip, all your stuff around you, and you can start to relax, have a (non-alcoholic) beer to celebrate.
But if not, take it easy, so as to make sure you don't lose anything en route or leave anything behind (keys, phone, head...). Good luck!

Just popping in for a coffee and to wish Detroit all the best for your move today! It might take a bit of to-ing and fro-ing but at some point very soon you will be able to lock your own front door and sit down in peace. for you as a moving in present!

Thank you Detroit, but I have to confess that I'm not actually a vegan - I do love tofu though and eat vegan most of the time. I wanted a user name that was a mix of bland and slightly whimsical!
Anyway, here's hoping that things go well for you today, and it won't be long till you get your keys and move out of the shelter. Maybe only a few more hours to go!! Lots of us here on the other side of the world are cheering you on, and sending you love and support. Have a slice of vegan 
and a 
for breakfast to keep you going!!

No tears today, it might be a tough old day but by the end of it you will be in your own place with your own things around you! And then you can start planning for your smiley wee furry four-legged friend to join you! Onwards and upwards Detroit, you can do this

Do you have a rucksack you can use for transporting things? It's so hard to make any practical suggestions that might help you, sorry. You might need one taxi trip for bigger or heavier items. You might be better off keeping a clear head today, but that's just a suggestion of course. Take a deep breath, calm down as you've got hours left to find everything before you go. Is there anyone around that you trust to help?
I'm a bit confused by sushi socks! It would be great to see pics but only if you can make sure that they are really definitely 100% not identifying in any way at all. Your safety comes first. Very excited for you, and you will do this by hook or by crook. You have come through so much already, just a few more hours to get this next step done. Breathe!! You are nearly there Detroit

How's it going, Detroit?
Sounds like you need to digitize those notebooks. Says the woman with two plastic tubs full of diaries and notebooks not to mention several boxes full of old letters and cards.
