I kinda wanna puke!!!

I've spent the past two days packing. This evening it hit me for real: on Tuesday night I will go to sleep with nothing save for a bag packed for the upcoming road trip once all my belongings have been loaded onto a truck, and on Wednesday I am going to leave this house. Between the time I leave it, and the time I arrive in Wisconsin, I will temporarily not have a home.

And then I'm leaving California. And my new home will be in Wisconsin.

It's true that I've spent the last couple of months trying to visit all my favorite places, see my friends, eat at all my favorite food places, ect. It's also true that this past Friday was my final day at my job. But it's only this evening really, truly sunk in.

I'm going to relocate to the Midwest. I'm going to leave behind everything I have ever known for a) love, and b) financial necessity. I don't know when, or even if, I'll return. Of course the goal is to move back to California in the not-too-distant future, but you just never know what's going to happen, you know?

I can't believe that there was a time I was writing about Blair here in this journal, wistful, sad, full of yearning, because we were not together and I did not think we ever would be. Now I'm about to move in with her.

The cousins and their nephews were supposed to be gone until Tuesday, but they came back today, two days early. This is annoying, because now there will be seven people in the house again, while I'm trying to pack and maneuver boxes downstairs to line them up neatly for the movers. I will have to battle for a spot in the bathroom whenever I need to use it, will likely have to wait god knows how long to shower once I'm finished packing and am drenched in sweat. At least I already got my laundry done, which is great, because ain't no WAY I would be able to battle for the washer and dryer before moving day now that the house is full again.

I also discovered that all my groceries have been eaten again, which left me fuming, but it is what it is at this point and I'm moving in two days anyway.

I can't wait to live some place... quiet. Only myself and Blair to worry about.

There's a long road ahead, yet. But at least from here on out, every day is sure to be interesting.

I am so tired.

The neighbors got a new dog and they are the kind of people who believe that animals belong outside, period. So this puppy was barking and barking and howling all night. At around 2am it finally stopped. Then it started again at around 6:30am. I tried so hard to get back to sleep, but I had to get out of bed at 9am anyway to make my dentist appointment, so I just curled up and closed my eyes and listened to a podcast. Rest is better than nothing, I guess.

So on four and a half hours of sleep I went to the dentist and got my teeth cleaned. It was so relaxing, it was better than being at home, which... yikes. But I mean hey. Air conditioning, a big comfortable chair, and that really nice soothing whooshing sound of the cleaning tool. I almost fell asleep getting my teeth cleaned.

The dentist also examined my crowned tooth and even took an X-ray that he didn't even charge me for, just so that he could make sure there was nothing wrong with it. No infection, anyway; he made a slight adjustment to it, thinking maybe the pain was from the shape being a little off and me putting too much pressure on it when I chew. So that's all good! Phew.

Tomorrow (today) I have off, so I'm going to head downtown to donate more stuff to GoodWill, stop by the used book shop to see if they're interested in buying any of my small stack of Read But Didn't Really Love So Don't Wanna Keep books and a few nerdy collectibles I haven't been able to sell. I need to buy more packing supplies too, so I can get started packing up this bedroom.

Things are still chaotic and stressful but... coming together. Slowly.

Oh my god.

The moving crew I hired comes to get everything and take it to the shipping facility one week from today.

I have a dentist appointment tomorrow morning.

My last two days at my job are tomorrow and Friday.

We have DnD this Sunday.

I have to pack. I have to do laundry. I wanted to visit all my friends one more time each but I don't have time. I'm out of time.

50 Favorite Characters (from the last decade)

For the Fannish 50, since I haven't really been around lately (probably closer to 5+ years which is horrible to think about since I spend so much of my time working and for the last few years didn't even really have my computer technically set up til last December - so I spent the last few years off and on Tumblr but that's so draining sometimes because you just reblog everything and barely interact with anyone so needless to say I'm trying to step back from that site. I miss the LJ days.)

Anyway, I figured I'd go over some of my newer 50 favorite characters that are from newer fandoms of at least 10 years old. So while they are numbered, they are in no way a ranking - just simply thought of them first. Also I still love all my other favorites but just focusing on new ones right now.
{WORK IN PROGRESS}

I woke up this morning and the first thing I saw was Blair going wild on discord because, yes, finally, we were approved for our apartment. We got it. The one we wanted, even.

Rather than grow immediately ecstatic, I deflated completely as a huge amount of stress dissolved from my body, and I started to cry.

You guys. These people made us jump through so many insane hoops. Every time they promised we had done everything they wanted and told us it would be just a day or two more, they would go silent for a week and when one of us would follow up, there were suddenly MORE forms they required. The one they sent to my future employer had to be sent again because she didn't put N/A in the spots that were not relevant to what was being asked of her. That added an additional eight days of wait time. Eight. Days.

I was so sure that by the time we finally got through, there wouldn't be any more units left. This was supposed to take a week. It took two months. But we got in. I am overjoyed.

Still stressed. There's a lot more to do still, with the actual move. And with transferring my license. And I'm experiencing bad tooth pain now so I've got to try and get into the dentist before I leave hopefully? But we got a place to live!
