✿ GRIMM.
( life. ) MAY COMMENTARY AND SANITY CHECKS
✿ GRIMM.
I've been really MIA because of job hunting, acceptance, and just everything at the end of May is hectic because of all the birthdays in the family
✿ GRIMM.
And I feel bad about it but I have to remember I am now preparing for a move and I'm being an Adult™️
✿ GRIMM.
I'm trying to track all the things I have to do before I move and it's making me anxious but today I took my car in for a big service and then in two weeks I'll hopefully have the part they forgot to order SO my windshield can get fixed
✿ GRIMM.
I gotta clean out the apartment + find a new place in LA
✿ GRIMM.
I gotta do all my doctor appts before I go because I need new glasess/contacts. I also wanna get back on my ADHD meds. INSURANCE. OH HOW I MISSED YOU.
✿ GRIMM.
somehow the thing that's made me cry today though is the idea of taking out the trash and folding laundry

🍇 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦.
congratulations on the move and the adulting!

Sending you all the good vibes to see this thru!!
✿ GRIMM.

: maybe i’ll actually be free and not dying in a month
lil shit
you got this
✿ GRIMM.
also... i turn 35 in two weeks and im having a small crisis
✿ GRIMM.
me??
✿ GRIMM.
i am baby
🍇 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦.
It is such a pain!
🍇 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦.
Also wow! As a 36 year old, you'll be okay but it does feel like this big big thing. It sounds like there's so much to celebrate!
𝖓𝖊𝖒𝖊𝖘𝖎𝖘
You are just a baby!
koke
this is a lot but you'll get it done and the other side will be so much better!!!!
✿ GRIMM.
🍇 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦.
: there's so much but it'll be good for sure
✿ GRIMM.
𝖓𝖊𝖒𝖊𝖘𝖎𝖘
: THE BABIEST
✿ GRIMM.
koke
: it will be so good... once it all happens @.@
✿ GRIMM.
i am 100% sure that all the paperwork for getting things rolling will be set by end of the week
✿ GRIMM.
and then i can figure out moving
✿ GRIMM.
my car isn't done and might be done tomororw but it's unclear
✿ GRIMM.
the service rep just messaged me and was like "please hold on to the loaner car"
✿ GRIMM.
like what am i gonna do with it?
𝚑𝚊𝚠𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚜。
LMAO just in case u were thinking of driving it into a wall??? wtf
✿ GRIMM.
they gave me a subaru ascent which is HUGE and makes me realise the forester is tiny (in comparison)
✿ GRIMM.
𝚑𝚊𝚠𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚜。
: i guess????
✿ GRIMM.
natural next step
𝚑𝚊𝚠𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚜。
also im so excited things are moving!! i know it's overwhelming but it sounds like it's gonna be great when it's all settled
✿ GRIMM.
𝚑𝚊𝚠𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚜。
: once it's settled, i'll be unstoppable. jen u wont be rid of me. i will span all the things.
✿ GRIMM.
Realising how much I have to do and how little time there is and yet there is so much time?
ʟᴏᴜɪs.
that's the worst feeling ever when having to move
✿ GRIMM.
I also just need to talk to my apartment complex and figure out how to break this lease given... they killed the old renters portal and the new one doesn't even have the option for me to like.... message the front office staff to talk to someone about it. So I guess that's the Tuesday in person task
✿ GRIMM.
ʟᴏᴜɪs.
: I know I have over a month but somehow it's not enough time. I feel like I won't feel like I have enough time until it's over LOL
✿ GRIMM.
It's all so... whirlwind and hurry, prep, pray, wait, wait, wait, chaos
✿ GRIMM.
Which is why I hate moving in general but moving across the state is it's own new level.
ʟᴏᴜɪs.
dude this. like having to wait to even really finish packing because yes you're still living a life before you move. moving states too - having just done that myself like GRIPS UR HANDS
✿ GRIMM.
ʟᴏᴜɪs.
: holds ur paws
✿ GRIMM.
That's what I am worried about most, tbh... Is like waiting to finish packing when I have two cats who are going to be so stressed out by this whole situation. Also because I'll be driving them down and having to coordinate that with like when I have movers coming
✿ GRIMM.
RIP
✿ GRIMM.
I gotta go to my storage unit and deal with that... I gotta.... cancel it too
✿ GRIMM.
Note to self
✿ GRIMM.
and also just THROW SO MUCH AWAY that isn't practical to move but more decor than necessity
koke
there's over-the-counter stuff you can give cats to help them chill while travelling and scent stuff for them settling into a new place. though also possible a vet will prescribe proper sedatives for a trip too if you can afford it
koke
also I read this like this and was v scared for you for a moment 
✿ GRIMM.
koke
: screaming
✿ GRIMM.
what a terrible way to cut that off and make it seems like i’m in danger but also HILARIOUS
✿ GRIMM.
I have a moving company and hopefully I’ll have an apartment finalized by beginning of next week 
✿ GRIMM.
And then it’s dealing with move out stuff. Which just is much more cleaning out of stuff I haven’t used in ages + preparing because the movers will be packing for me.
✿ GRIMM.
Your girl is.... so close to being an LA girly and the kitties are going to have a balcony which is so exciting. I miss outside space that’s just my own.
🍇 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦.
so close!!
lil shit
lets gooo
✿ GRIMM.
I am not going to talk about how much I’ll be paying for rent but for year one it’s okay 
I’ll be in an ideal area for the commute and it’ll be with so many amenities included so that year 2 will be fine
I’ll be in an ideal area for the commute and it’ll be with so many amenities included so that year 2 will be fine
✿ GRIMM.
Or maybe I’ll get promoted and I’ll be fine
✿ GRIMM.
I haven’t been really in the headspace to write because my anxiety makes it hard when I am thinking of my livelihood but hopefully once apartment is more settled then I can finish the tagbomb I started
✿ GRIMM.
Or chip away and post stuff slowly that’s been completed
✿ GRIMM.
I’m going on a roller coaster ride about apartments right now because my current property being bought out caused some issues 
✿ GRIMM.
I might not be able to move to the dream apartment but I might have a cheaper, less me paying an arm and a leg to break a lease option. We will see.
✿ GRIMM.
Which will also save my sanity.... Fingers crossed but one way or another I should have a home lined up by end of next week.
ʟᴏᴜɪs.
fingers crossed!!! finding apartments is so stressful!
✿ GRIMM.
It really is and i hate it
✿ GRIMM.
I GOT APPROVED FOR MY APARTMENT
✿ GRIMM.
happy birthday to me
