This is it. One more day between me and holiday (except for whatever little bits I will inevitably need to finish off in the morning.
Yyyeeeeaaaah...
I just had to rescue a frog. In my bedroom. 3 very interested cats, and one squeaky little frog who is now outside. Who needs sleep?

Moving ramblings (kinda want a whinge, feel free to swipe past)
To be honest I can't be bothered and don't have the energy to pack. Emotional energy mainly. I've got so much to do, and my childish mind just keeps reverting to "TO HARD. HIDE UNDER PILLOW TIL IT GOES AWAY", which I'll admit is beneficial in the short term, but I am moving TO.MOR.ROW and have only taken over 2 boxes and a bag of loose stuff
I don't have to return the keys until Friday, but I don't have a way to get back on Thursday or Friday besides the bus, so catching 3 buses or a bus and 2 trains just isn't practical with boxes and bags. I'm pretty sure only a small removalist van was booked (I didn't organise it), so while they probably can take a couple of boxes, the rest of my stuff will just have to make do with a few car trips
Considering I'm going to be moving again sometime between late next year and the end of 2026, it's looking kind of tempting to donate half my shit to the salvos and live like a nomad by necessity. But having done that, I do know that it's a depressing way of living, and you just amass new shit to fill the space anyway
so many hugs
time to phone friends and ask if they can help for a few hours or catch a taxi, it really is worth it
Tomorrow I do have access to a car. My case manager booked a car from the org, so I'll be right as long as I have the energy to take everything and do the back and forth
