Ok, I did it. I'm pretending like the last 10 years of the shitty social internet haven't happened, and I created a DW account. You can find me at the same username; my posts will likely remain locked for the forseeable because that's what I do.

This is a comforting angle. It wobbles, too

Today: I have a myotherapy appointment; need to pick up a mystery package from the 'delivery hub' (dunno why they couldn't leave it at the local post office); then take a load to the new house and start to line some of the kitchen cupboards so they're fit to have stuff put in them.

Salome was in my lap first, and then Chrissy came and shoved her off. Salome's not giving up though! #BurmeseLyf #CatsOfMastodon #cats

Oh, and the temp who did the payrun at my former workplace put the wrong date on the bank file (which I had to approve), so the pays went through today instead of next Tuesday. So HELLO EARLY ENORMOUS FINAL PAY!

We went to our new local Grill'd for dinner.
I was so tired on the way home that I missed the turnoff to our street.
Now on the couch watching Rosehaven and giving Chrissy some love and attention.

Woken before 6am by possums scratching in the walls. Got back to sleep probably 10 mins before the alarm went off.
We got keys and went to the new house! It was... faintly disappointing. Did the condition report.
After some food, we went and bought a dishwasher.
Returned to the house with more stuff, and began to feel more positive about it.
We met all the neighbours!
Saw a currawong, a magpie, and a cockatoo.
Went to Bunnings. The outer 'burban ones are big!

First visit of the move!

It's new house day! We get to find out if the house is the same as we remember from when we blearily inspected it for 5 mins at 9am on a Saturday morning a couple of weeks ago.

Tonight's effort for Operation Empty The Freezer Before We Move is emu satay stir-fry.

I have finished packing the books! Only took three days!

I feel like I have more calculus textbooks than any one person really needs.

I've done quite a bit of packing but I'm feeling mild anxiety at how much there's still to do. I haven't even begun in the kitchen yet. And yes, I have to keep reminding myself that there's still a week before movers come, and we'll have the keys tomorrow.

Ok, boxes now.
