All of the packing material is broken down; most of it can be recycled, though I'm hoping someone will take the cardboard for their garden and the other stuff for moving so I don't have to haul it down two flights.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

dcp, my mother's Christmas cactus bloomed for Mother's Day for several years, IIRC we put it down to moving it across the country and confusing it. When it actually did bloom in December it was quite a treat!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I just wanted to take the weedeater out to get some of the weird stuff that grew too tall, and it's turned into a 2-hour saga of "I don't know if there's anything special we need to do with the batteries when you use the weedeater for the first time after the winter; let me spend 40 minutes googling to find out" and "I don't actually know if we need more weedeater string, but let me spend half an hour looking to see if I bought any last year" and "Well, that's stuff you really should mow rather than use the weedeater for."
Yeah, no. *I* am the one who does the yard work, so if I want to use the goddamn weedeater instead of the mower, I will. If you think the mower should be used, then YOU FUCKING DO IT OH WAIT YOU CAN'T. Also, I don't care about the batteries; this is fucking ridiculous. It's going to take me 10 minutes to do the actual weedeating, and the run-up has been TWO FUCKING HOURS.
Oh, wait, he just said "We could take a walk." NO TIM WE CAN'T I HAVE YARD WORK TO DO WHAT IS WRONG IN YOUR HEAD???

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I salute you from "Can we just spend ten minutes tidying something rather than spending four hours tackling the entire task, which of course requires cleaning the dust mop so we can use it, because ten minutes from now I'm going to regret bringing it up?"

And it ends up in a pile, sitting there, not being purged at all.
Oh look, it's our house.

I have weed-eaten. It took 10 minutes. The battery was fine. My husband lives.

God, I really *am* weak and tired after Covid. The weed eater is light, but my arms are shaking so hard right now. This post-Covid bullshit is indeed the bullshittiest.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Tired and cranky this morning.(It doesn't help that Mr. S has been annoying for most of the day.) Went to the local kosher supermarket for Passover stuff for us and for my MIL. Tomorrow is my telework day, and I will be running my MIL's stuff to her house at some point. Whee.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
In my experience, the post-Covid is the bullshitiest. Just in the weak, tired and brain fog symptoms, not even taking into consideration the hyponatremia and seizures. Maybe the brain fog is hyponatremia, I am not sure. But it sucks.
And it ends up in a pile, sitting there, not being purged at all.
Oh look, it's our house.And mine. Ugh.
I have a "Bag for Seattle" but I don't think it's ever making it to Seattle. I'm hoping it makes it to the good resaler / womens' shelter which is the pile it currently lives in.
