IT IS NOW LATER!

Hello friends, I promised a longer update, which I wrote, and then uhhhhhhhh put off posting it for so long that it no longer applied? BRILLIANT planning on my part!

The main takeaway of it was that I am very excited about the contract and very bad at waiting, therefore jilliferium is MVP of this house-buying process. She has put up with so much of me messaging her going "We need to wait for x before we can do y and I understand WHY we need to wait but also: I am made of anxiety and bees!" But that no longer applies, because!

WE SIGNED THE CONTRACT! It is all filled in, we've posted it back to the solicitor, hopefully she doesn't kick up a stink about us getting sithe to sign it because I am not finding someone else to be a witness in a global pandemic. We are so close to the end! SO CLOSE! I think there's only the... Exchanging contracts? And then we can have a completion date? WE ARE SO CLOSE TO GETTING THIS DONE! *\ (TT_______TT) /*

There's still a chance that everything could go horribly wrong, but I'm starting to pack up some of our things! The plan is like... Boardgames and books, stuff that I can be sure that we're not going to need immediately, and hopefully I can cram them into the storage unit to free up more space for us to tidy and pack.

... Oh yeah, I'm going through our storage unit as well, and it's a fucking weird experience. I've been describing it as a depression time capsule, because 2014 was Not a Good Year. I didn't sort any of this shit out before we threw it into the unit, and it's all things from three jobs/two diagnoses/one apocalypse ago! It's like a museum exhibit of a person that I haven't been in years! The upside is that it's a lot easier to strip out whatever I don't want, but it's certainly A Thing.

Anyway! In other news, LexGarrett had a week off, and we spent it hanging out and watching movies! I went in a bookshop for the first time in over a year! And we watched the Dynasty Warriors movie, which Prince Water Buffalo from Nirvana in Fire as Cao Cao. He drifts a horse like he's in Initial D, 10/10, would let Lex pick the movie again.
