    Well DT, I got the place… and at the original rent no less (thanks, sloppy REAs!). Payment has gone through so it’s official.

    I’m relieved but also… now that it’s real my heart is also filled with incredible, crushing sadness. I know it’s going to be good for me to downsize and cull and open up my life to new options but I am so, so, sad to have to let go of my comforts here under such ugly circumstances. I can’t even bear to look at my plants, it breaks my heart. Such is life though, isn’t it. Change does not always happen the way we want it to. (and this isn’t by far the worst experience I’ve had having to leave a house)

    My plan for tonight is to just make a meta-list of tasks so that I don’t feel too overwhelmed, but after that I’m going to just let the emotions flow through and watch an episode of Shrinking and take it easy. No stiffer up lip tonight. The work will start tomorrow. I know I’ll get through this, there is joy on the other side. ❤️‍🩹

      Sending you my love, I am glad that you have a place to move to.

      I’m sorry about your plants, it’s difficult to let go, especially when the circumstances are so lame. But there will be a time when you will have plants again to pour your love and care into. This is a temporary stop on your journey, and you have already proven yourself to be capable, intelligent, and motivated. Trust yourself, you are awesome.

      Wherever you end up, you’re always always welcome in the DT here. And we’ll always be here rooting for you and waving our flags for you 💜

      I’m so glad to hear you were able to get a place but sad for your plants.

      I’d offer to take them up but I’ve have not had a good time with plants myself and I’m sure they don’t like me back due to neglect.

      Celebrate tonight and over the weekend.

      I hope you’re able to sleep better now that you don’t have to worry about a place.

      I can’t even bear to look at my plants

      Honestly again I’m more than happy to look after them in the interim until they either follow you and/or for when you find them a new home (I promise I won’t eat them).

        I appreciate the offer! But many are not long for this world anyway (biannuals/annuals that i didn’t bother replacing).

        I’ve got several offers of good homes for the big plants from friends and colleagues (helps when most of them are into plants heh). Could even take the manzano to the office courtyard. I’m pretty fond of that lil dude

      What kind of plants and what sort of setup? (Not asking for anything doxable, just an idea of what you could be working with in the new place.)

      There’s a lot of creative ways to have plants, even ones that are just indoor plants. There are also small hydroponic indoor garden kits that could fit on a bench top or windowsill for herbs, bonsai, or air plants.

      (I’m so sorry, I’m not good with emotional support and tend to be a fixer but I understand if this is not helpful or wanted)

        I can probably take most of my indoor plants over, there’s a decent south-facing window ledge. Bedroom is west facing (ugh) without a ledge. The outdoor ones are gonna have to go as they’re not suitable indoors esp without so much light

        This is a really small apartment so there won’t be much bench top space. It’s alright tbh, I’ve been neglecting my plants the last few months due to exhaustion and I won’t have that much time over the next few months either. I’ll head to a friend’s place to garden if I need a green fix

    Eh I’m bored. I’m usually happy to chill in front of tv most nights but am feeling like there’s nothing I really wanna watch. Maybe I should read a book? I’m too tired to go anywhere but not too tired to want to do something. First world leisure time problems.

    I’m crawling out of my skin but have no energy to do something physical but mindless… also no focus to do something more mentally stimulating.

    I wish I was out of here, had my health more in check and had the room/reserves to be doing things

    Dinner made and eaten. A somewhat poor replica so I’ll go back to something tried and true tomorrow.

    I am full though I think. Now time to relax with the WBBL tonight and I’ll figure out the rest later.

    On the bright side grocery shopping is done until I need more food and I really held back on buying junk food to save money.

    Also got some cheap mushrooms and onions from the independent supermarket. I actually should have bought more mushrooms in light of that.

    Been leaving before tinyest wakes up the last few days, get home and he wants almost nothing to do with me. I am home today though so he woke up with me and wanted all of the cuddles.

    So cuddles only happen in the morning? I can live with that.

    Against better judgement I did some work and let time get away from me while the WBBL was having a rain break and subsequently the game got called off due to heavy rain.

    Finished working and now I don’t have to do any over the weekend and I have the entire Monday off now to look forward to.
