Today's gonna be a shitshow, I can feel it. Oh well, at least I've got an extra set of hands and a removalist. I was hoping it wouldn't come to indiscriminately throwing things in rubbish bags (that's a site spot for me, as that's what child protection usually give you when they've given you 15 minutes notice you're moving to the other side of the state). But it wasn't even procrastination, I just couldn't properly start. I think I need the time crunch, being forced to throw ideals and organisation out the window, and somebody to help and hold me accountable in person for it to work
Gonna be rocking 3 hours of sleep again. I'll get up at 6 and at least try to pack a bit myself, or at the very least do some tidying up and pack the non essentials (which I seem to find easier for some reason). Also need to finish constructing my dining table and make it out to the shops (tomorrow is absolutely not a cooking night, but also not an order in night, so I'm thinking roast chook rolls)
It will be ok. Removalists rock and will just deal with what you give them.
Moving is hard. And living on your own. Is hard. Yeah sure living with others can be awful. I love living on my own but I have 30 years on you and still needed my doc to point out that's it's legit hard to do this coordination and just all the day to day stuff on your own. So I'm just putting it out there that 3hours sleep or 10 it's still hard. Be gentle with yourself.
Enjoy the sleep when it's done. We are all so excited for you. You are going great friend.
It will not be okay, but that's okay
Thanks Gregsy, I'm looking forward to tonight's rest, although I get bad anxiety sleeping in new places, tgough. The first weeks sleep is probably gonna suck no matter what
Sorry bro. ๐ฃ It was a thoughtless suggestion.
Good luck with the move, perhaps you can arrange a few more trips on Airtasker before Friday if needed
No, no, it's beyond fine melbsy. I thought it was helpful! I'm just not the helpable type half the time ๐
