And another afternoon bump, no luck in searching for a new place, all way out of my price range or way skeevy (I understand a woman/couple women only wanting a woman to move in, that makes sense, but three dudes? Nooo that's bad)
(I know y'all are going to get tired of seeing it, I'm going to get tired of bringing it back up, but 57 days is not a lot of time to do a lot of things I gotta do)
it's Wednesday morning, 53 days and counting, I may be meeting with the potential new landlord today, but if not I'll see the house on Saturday regardless
It's Wednesday evening, no meeting today, working out details for Saturday and I hate packing so much. If I could just have magic powers and wave a wand or whatever and everything would be in the boxes I'd do it in a heartbeat, I don't even care if it's sorted, I can do that later
Thursday morning, 52 days remaining, have a dentist appointment today so will be light on the packing things up and it's starting to feel daunting again
Woo time to see the place tomorrow has been set, so I'm a little less nervous now (still a little nervous bc what if we don't like each other or her dog hates me???)
Friday night now, some progress on packing up my room has been made and while I'm still nervous about tomorrow I'm just reminding myself that I can only do what I can only do, so if this works out, great! But if not: I'm not really any worse off than I was before.
OKAY! I have a place to go! It'll be minimum six months (and likely to be longer) I can't move in just yet because stuff is still being moved out, but that's fine! I think I'm going to get along real well with the lady who's there, and her dog likes me and her cat (also a black kitty like Tip) tolerated my presence
Monday morning bump, 48 days left, brother's coming by today to help me out with stuff in the garage rafters, it might all be rat-eaten, but also it's been up there since I moved in, sooo...
Okay he's coming by tomorrow, he had projects on the house to do, which like, 100% that takes precedence, and it gave me a chance to unpack/repack some stuff already! Good news: nothing in the closet seems to have been rat-damaged Bad news: the closet is way more full than I remember
Tuesday morning, 47 days remaining which seems like definitely not enough, but I can do it, even if I have to ask brother & his gf to descend on the house like helpful locusts when it gets closer
Wednesday morning, 46 days left, going to do a storage run this evening for the stuff that was in the loft, shove that into the last remaining space in my storage unit
It's Thursday morning, 45 days left, and I can start moving boxes in next weekend! The 8th! Possibly furniture too, I'll check on that while I'm stacking boxes. Thank you all for sharing and well-wishing, still a long way to go as far as funding, but I'm not feeling the pressure quite so much.
And something I just learned: I have actually been in this house TEN years, not just eight (source: I found the receipt for my mattress being delivered)
it's now Friday, midmorning, going to continue picking away at the heap that is my room today. Definitely going slower this upcoming week so I don't exhaust myself because I'm realizing I did that this week
Sunday morning, beginning of my favorite month and 42 days left on the count. This week is the slower packing week until I get some stuff moved in next weekend and see what kind of space I'm working with
and of course if you know of other places I could post this even though it's not like 'ooh lifesaving surgery' or 'hey I need to get away from an abusive partner' please let me know? I really do need all the help I can get.
It is now Thursday midmorning, and it's 36 days left on the ticker (I definitely miscounted somewhere, Nov 11th is my last day here) Packing has been uhhh a little derailed due to back problems, but hoping to get on it soon, and taking boxes over Sunday and assessing the move-in timeline from there
Saturday midmorning, 34 days left, same update as before, back is tweaked so packing is on hold, which sucks with not much time left, but still taking some boxes over tomorrow - furniture is being moved out of the room I'm moving into on Tuesday, so going to have a palaver with the landlady about timeline tomorrow
Good news: nothing in the closet seems to have been rat-damaged
Bad news: the closet is way more full than I remember
This week is the slower packing week until I get some stuff moved in next weekend and see what kind of space I'm working with
only Thursday not Friday, just gonna correct that right quick
