Have you been drinking coffee this whole time, Sophia? That can't help with the anxiety! For real, though, I hope you can appreciate how fucking amazing you are being!!!
Mal: Go on. Get in there. Give your brother a thrashing for messing up your plan. River: He takes so much looking after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sophia, if there aren't practical things to do right now, can you do physical exercises to try to reduce the anxiety you're feeling? Like this guy here? [link]

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Popping in quickly to say how damned proud I am of Sophia. None of this was easy.
My house was rapidly approaching similar status. Sophia, you inspired me to get to work cleaning up the worst of it. There's still a lot to do, but it will get done.
Non sequitur: Hoping that most of you remember me mentioning EMTguy. We've been together almost 5 1/2 years now, but the big news is that he's now MedicGuy! He received his paramedic certification last month after a long year of classes and clinicals, while also working full-time. I'm super proud of him too.

Yay Medic!guy!!!!
So they are done! It was way less than I originally thought and they washed all the walls! The rugs are a stained disaster but I am steam cleaning them and they look not good, but at least clean and I will need to get area rugs I think.
Thanks Jesse. I have so much nervous energy to burn off!!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yay!

I am trying to decide whether to set up my mattress on the floor or sleep on the sofa. The foundation is coming tomorrow. The sofa probably needs to be steam cleaned.

Serial: In a feet of super human strength, I just lugged the Leesa mattress up the stairs by myself. I am now ready for a nap, but frankly, the carpet needs to dry before I put the mattress out anyway!
I think this big push by the professionals has finally put me in a spot where I can pass, and everything else is cosmetic. But it is CLEAN!!!!
I keep finding new things that they cleaned that I didn't really ask them too, like my kitchen table and chairs and the pictures on my walls! The closet doors.
I still have to do two radiators, but I have developed a technique with. Dowel and a swiffer cloth. They were so fast. I am really pleased.
I am a little anxious because I think they filled the dumpster too full. But I think that just means I will be assessed an extra fee, not that they won't pick it up.
