UPDATE: KEYS RETRIEVED SUCCESSFULLY!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
WE SIGNED THE FUCKING LEASE, GANG!!!!!! IT'S REAL!!!!!!!!
Been very caught up on moving stuff lately, but I did also officially get diagnosed with autism level 2 this week?? So that's just kinda something else I'm trying to process atm
A guy I had a massive crush on in middle school just popped up on my "people you may know" and he's apparently married and had a child with a woman who looks like Mrs Trunchbull and also like she steps on him with combat boots lmfaooooo
Thank you so much my dearest creature!! 🩷🖤🩷🖤🥹🫂🖤🩷🖤🩷 We persist despite the horrors!!!! Ilysm!!!!!
what if it all worked out
WELL WE SURVIVED!!!! WE ARE HERE!!!! ALL OUR SHIT IS HERE!!!!! HOLY FUCK!!!!!
Everything is still in chaos piles and stacks of boxes and shit but at least we are no longer on a deadline!! And I have done suspiciously well physically with all this (no migraines!! minimal crying!!) so idk whether to be hype about that or brace for spending like 3 full days in bed once the adrenaline wears off??? Either way we are here and the hardest part is done!!! Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!
Our internet was supposed to get set up today (because apparently they have to come fucking do it for us instead of just turning it on and letting us set it up ourselves like adults because fuck you) and the appointment was for 1:15. I went to get lunch with the raccoon and got a text from them at 12:51 that the tech was 13 minutes away with a little map showing their location. I was about the same distance away so I left immediately, but I double and triple checked as I was leaving that they still hadn't moved from wherever their little dot was, and the estimate for them still said 13 minutes. So I got back between 1:00 and 1:05 (didn't specifically look at the clock because I was refreshing THEIR tracker over and over!!) and nobody was here. Tracker still said they hadn't moved, 13 minutes away, and I hadn't gotten any more texts saying they were here or anything. Cool, fine. I figured they'd be late anyway. So I fucked around the house for like an hour, checking the tracker regularly and it still saying they were in the same spot, 13 minutes out. So eventually I call the customer service to see wtf is happening, and she says "oh they already went out and nobody was home"???????!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCKING WHEN???????????? LITERALLY MILLISECONDS BEFORE I GOT HERE??????? BECAUSE I WAS NEVER ALERTED OF ANYTHING!!!!!!!!! SO WHY DID YOU SEND ME A TRACKER IF IT DOESN'T EVEN PRETEND TO FUCKING WORK????????? AND WHY DIDN'T I GET A "Hey, sorry we missed you!! uwu" OR ANYTHING?????
And of course she was like "well their next available appointment is Tuesday, but I'll put a big note here to try to fit you in this afternoon" so now we almost certainly won't have internet until next fucking Tuesday 🙃🙃🙃🙃
One cool thing about the autism diagnosis was discovering that my entire mood and day being ruined by relatively minor inconveniences like this is just ✨how my brain works✨ and that I pretty much just have to learn to accept and deal with that :)))))

this is what is happening between us when i like your vent post
Partner's (adult) brother is getting baptized tomorrow morning an hour away and now I have to fucking wake up early to go to that shit and let me tell you there is nothing I want to do less 🫠🫠🫠
Changed my city on Facebook and now everybody and their brother is commenting on it, including my college zoology advisor asking what I'm doing these days. It brought up a lot of feelings but I actually felt confident enough to tell her what's been going on (mega burnout, left the field, Dx'd AuDHD, trying to pull my shit together), and I feel like that's a good thing?? Like I feel like maybe that means I'm healing a little?? She hasn't seen or replied to my DM yet so TBD on whether I'll regret it lmao, but feeling pretty good about it for the moment 🤞🤞
Mountain Goats mentioned!!!!!
okay i made another quiz but this time it’s which monster you’ll get to hook up with. reblog with your result!!
Also I've been considering getting into nightgowns/house dresses lately??? Idk, I've been doing the plaid flannel pants + t-shirt combo for like 20 years now and I just feel like maybe it's time to switch it up??
Gotta work on training my brain to stop doing the Big Sad™ whenever my parents leave our place now that they only live an hour away lmao
Love to have 3 nights in a row of insanely vivid and realistic dreams, featuring such classic hits as "Being Bullied to Tears by My Partner" and "Sobbing Over My Dying Cat"!
At least the other one was okay. It involved friendly birds and fetching special cigarettes for an old lady.
it bothers me that you often don't really hear about people having a "favorite album" the way they might have a favorite movie or favorite video game
Partner and I were supposed to go to some kind of little park festival thing with his mom today, but I woke up with a migraine 🙃🙃 Which sucks because he actually made a plan to go somewhere and do something fun, which is generally good and something we both (but especially him) struggle to do. However, the bright side is that it was like 90° and humid af today so it would have been absolute hell on earth to be out in the sun in a crowded place all afternoon. And I wouldn't even be able to smoke with his mom because being high in a crowd is already a nightmare, but ESPECIALLY when I'm actively sweating. Plus, partner got to stay home and play this video game he's been very into, which he seemed to genuinely enjoy and feel a little recharged by!! And I've started another Oblivion playthrough, and Oblivion fucking rules!!! So other than the couple hours of suffering this morning, I'm considering it a W weekend!!!
Our new landlord (the owner anyway, the management company seems okay so far) is a big fucking prick apparently and will not approve even a single screw into a stud to mount a Dustbuster vacuum charger!! 🙃 And we're specifically not supposed to patch any holes ourselves when we move out, if we do make any??? So when they inevitably have to repaint between tenants they can blame it on us and charge our security deposit instead of being responsible for the general upkeep and turnover of their fucking profit source!!
So now we're faced with the question of whether to Follow the Rules and use command strips to hang everything, risking tearing big ass, difficult-to-patch holes in the drywall if those fail, or to be duplicitous and drill a few very small and easily-patched holes for screws that we could fix before we leave in two seconds with a caulk gun and a teaspoon of paint.
Like, I can see places they've patched old holes in the walls and ceilings, and they didn't do a very fucking good job!!! Clearly they don't actually care *that* much!!! I could absolutely do *at least* as good a job and everyone involved would save time and money and effort!!!!
Like I'm very glad this place is actually intact and in good shape for once, and I realize that landlords have to account for the stupidity of the general public, but jesus christ dude. And I can't even communicate with them directly to be like "hey I promise I'm at least as anal retentive about shit as you so please don't be an asshole to me!!! I'm trying to take good care of your house!!!!" Fuck I hate renting!!!!!!
