I'm so very tired.

I've moved out from my own apartment almost entirely on my own. Found the time to get all kinds of healthcare and dental work ahead of it all, and petsit for friends three hours away two times during the process. I fishtailed on some slick snowdust and ended up in the ditch on the way back from said petsitting, requiring a runaround with insurance, towing, and the auto repair shop again (and I still need to call insurance so they can reimburse me!), I've driven 1300 miles across the country with only my own company and direction. I've taken just a day and a half off during this process and that was just to squeeze more driving and moving tasks in. I'm helping my roommate, the gal I'm sweet on, move out and in as well because she's a few sorts of ill and needs help. Emotional, physical, financial. We've still chatted a couple hours a day leading up to the move, between and during all of my prep. Which, whatever, she's great, but it's absolutely taxing. And she's going to need more while she's not feeling well.

I'd really like to curl up into a ball and forget the world for a week.

Actually what I need is take a fuckin' sick day as a mental health day and then just play a shitload of video games while I have the house alone, lol. Would help to actually have a desk to put my computer up at, but, well.

Don't try to do it all on your own, folks. Find people you can lean on and set boundaries. I'm lucky to be well and able through this process and therefore in a good position to extent myself to help others, but.

Didn't realize you were also helping her move, and helping her financially. Tread carefully my friend.

Honestly, the money is the easy part- if I foot the bill for a lunch outing or the couple hours we need the moving truck, its impact on me is negligible. She's only moving from about fifteen minutes away though, but you gotta move a mattress somehow, right?

Far be it from me to wade into your relationship particulars. Just sounds like you're carrying the load for two people. No wonder you're exhausted. Just seems odd that if you're both moving that you're footing the cost for the movers. When I had a roommate (that I wasn't dating) and we moved together, we split it. And it took them 6 months to pay me back. (Money was no issue for me either.)

'Find people you can lean on and set boundaries.'

So I'm not gonna wade into your relationship choices, but I will dip my toe in.

It sounds like there's no reciprocal leaning with your current housemate. Nor have you established boundaries.

Which is all your own call, of course, but to quote nenjin 'tread carefully my friend.' That type of relationship can very easily become exploitative (emotionally and financially), but it's sometimes hard to see that when you're in it.

Don't listen to those boring people, nenjin. Repeat after me: Leeeroy Jeeeenkins!!

Had some calluses on the sides of the balls of my feet and big toes for fucking ages.

One of them now has black dots under it in a very verruca-esque manner.

Dunno if they've always been verrucas or if some virus managed to get in on one of my de-callusing sessions. Regardless, looks like I'm freezing the shit out of it, and in the meantime no Jitsu.

I didn’t read it like that and you can’t prove otherwise.

Why do kids get stomach-sick in the middle of the night, instead of during the day? Sleep depravation, trying to console your young kid, and having to clean up a lot of mess, is not a fun mix.

I didn’t read it like that and you can’t prove otherwise.

That'd be horrifying for two reasons.

First off, testicle verruca

Second, a verruca is basically a flattened wart. I'd be having to walk on my balls for that.

[hector13]

That’s one way to get rid of them, I s’pose…

Thought I picked up my Spring tires from my dad's over the weekend. When I got to the car shop yesterday, I found out I accidentally grabbed the wrong set. Had to go to my dad's to find the right set, and ended up waking the house up. Also ended up late for work because of this.

Managed to piss off my family and my work before it was even 9 in the morning. New personal best, I guess.

[nenjin]

Should change to your personal text to "Interrupted by Tire."

[JoshuaFH]

"Not ready to re-tire"

“Sorry I’m late. I was tired.”
