Having mover issues. Not happy. Extra panicked calls in to others. Why didn't I do this a week ago? Oh yeah, a week ago I still didn't believe. Still really don't. Well, if there is going to be one major cockup, this would be it.

Oh and a little water in basement. Like a cup. At least now I know the source and have a good feel for solutions.

Oh yeah, I fucked this one up. Had one "sure thing" with multiple recs who hasn't responded since last week with a "sure." Had 2 more turndowns. Fuck.me.

I hate fucking up.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I hate fucking up.

You're not fucking. You're dealing with it.

You can't possibly anticipate all the things that can go awry in such a transition. It's huge.

So just breathe, give yourself a break, and pour yourself a Scotch.

You just gotta be a good soldier and keep marching and soon this particular trial will be over. And then you will be in your own house and it will be a source of comfort and solace for you.

Thank you.

I'm pissed and self-flag-whatever and, just thank you. I haven't moved in 12 years. I've never hired movers before. Still, I'd like to think I know better and have a little less uncertainty.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

oh sara, I echo the give yourself a break. We've all been there at some point or another and you are plugging away, which is all you can do. What have the apartment people said about your departure?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Poor sarameg. I'd have a scotch with you, but I'm flying solo with the kids tonight.

I haven't had a moment to talk to the apt people. Another black mark. I mean to call and then have work crises. Not so good with the balancing. I really need to take a few days off, but...there are all these other demands. Basically, as I knew, worst timing ever.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

sara, there are no black marks. No one is grading you.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What they all said, Sarameg. Please give yourself a break, or several of them.
