I am very, very tired.
Everything is as prepped as it can be for the movers tomorrow.

Cats are starting to settle into the new place. I am on my way back to Atlanta for the final push before the movers arrive this week.

Three weeks until the movers.

Today marks 5 weeks until the movers arrive. GLeEP!!

The problem with being strong for so long is that when you actually stop to ask for help - no one takes you seriously.

'Everything' showers after a long hot bath soak are wonderful.

Anyone willing to body double or assist me with packing this week (March 17th)? I could use the aid.

What about a phone with a mini BT keyboard?

Polo is hard at wor- I mean, asleep in my lap on this chilly day.

Typing that out with only my left hand was hard, BTW..

Polo apparently decided that I was gone too long this morning. He's draped across my torso and I'm cradling his front paws so he doesn't slide off me. #blackcat #rescuedlove

I have had some tasty food (onigiri), went outside (stupid Daystar), drank some liquid (matcha latte) and took my meds - now give me some damn serotonin, body!

Dammit, people.

Just 'be good'.

Not 'good enough'.
Not 'better than X'.
Not 'ok'.

Maybe if more people did this, perhaps the world would suck less.

It feels SO weird to not be working Faire this year. Admittedly, I have "good" reasons - moving down to Florida during the run, but it also sucks.

Maybe I will try and go as a patron in April? Maybe that will help reduce the sense of loss..

Anyone I know have someone looking to move in May?
I have a 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo in Marietta that will be available starting in early/mid-May. Message me privately, please.

Ugh.. Ben's Ready Rice Spanish flavor tastes like it was made for white people with no taste buds. I had to doctor mine just so I could eat it.

Polo doesn't want me to get up and mess with boxes. He says it's too cold and he wants my warm lap (and the blanket put back, tyvm).

You will not regret it sir!

I think that is why I have so very much enjoyed the Exandria unlimited series that he has done so far, up to and including divergence so far

Fingers crossed, Raven and I may have a place soon in Florida for us. Looking at a May move date for me down from Atlanta. Just waiting on the application to complete

Proof of life; in the car, getting gas before I drive down to Tampa to see my Raven.

Oh, joy.
3rd day this week with a period of no water during the day.

This is pissing me off.
Why are these bastards too damned cheap to just replace all of these "faulty fire hydrants" all at once???

Oh, and I Haaaaaate having to boil water in a pot for tea. Ugh.

Today, I return the kettle that I bought, that won't work, for replacement for the one I broke on Monday while trying to return from my impromptu extended Florida trip.
Oh, and I start more packing of "not-currently-needed" stuff for the impending move.
Blaaaaargh.

Because I can't post the full bit, here's the TLDR for my life:

1. Chess moved to Tampa.
2. I’m in Marietta, but will eventually move.
3. I need to pack, do repairs, and figure out the move.
4. I’m working on disability.
5. My mental health during this has SUCKED.
6. I need to find a renter.

Update: Marco won the discussion, I'd say.

I have cat bookends.
(I feel like they are having an invisible-to-me conversation about who gets my lap first.)

I've enjoyed his channel for years. It's good stuff.

The view out my front door makes me happy.
