Me: You should go through the box of wires.
Russ: Everybody had a box of wires. It used to be two boxes.
Me: Could it be no boxes?
Russ: EVERYBODY HAS ONE.
Me: 🙄 #moving
Prepping to pack for the big move and to donate a large pile of clothes no longer needed since I lost so much weight during the last decade. #moving#movingsucks
I'm just a girl, standing in the kitchen she owns, using a pizza cutter to cut leeks, because where tf are her knives?? #newHouse#moving#adhd#relatable?

Dad got a job in the US
Back to Sweden
Went to uni
Got married
Bought an apartment
Divorce
Son needed a room of his own
Bought a house
We're moving a bit further down the valley next week, in the name of cheaper rent, shorter commutes and other good and necessary things ... And it's got us back with our favorite landlords from a couple years ago. Just amazing, sweet folks. Signed ye merrye lease today. Feels like a homecoming.
Well, we have a trip to Seattle booked. Planning to drive around the Seattle-Tacoma-Olympia area looking for neighborhoods we wouldn’t mind getting an apartment in. Maybe even drive out to Ellensburg/Yakima.
If I had not decided to make myself a nice cup of herbal tea tonight, it could have been months before I found my old pressure cooker's regulator weight. Apparently I had stashed it in my tea canister during my move, one of my classic "let's hide this important little thing in a place so clever I'll never remember it" stunts. At least I stumbled on it before I blew the $20 a new one would have cost me. 🤣
Even though the neurospicy edges of my brain are lowkey tripping out over the remaining piles of boxes to be unpacked (and obsessing over a couple of items possibly gone missing in said boxes), my cranky-ass bod has had enough of my brain's "must keep doing the thing!!!" shit for one week and declared a crash day. I do still have to do some very basic kitchen survival tasks, but anything beyond that is yeeted off the agenda.
A sample of the current post-move clutter level. I must add that the big black trash bag on the closet floor is full of yarn. And while it's the largest of my craft stashes it's not the only one.
Right, so here’s the rundown of the situation… my parents have had issues for a LONG time and every time they’re alone together for more than 5 minutes without some kind of distraction there WILL be an argument. This has continued to escalate in recent years as now it seems I’m part of it. Like they feel the need to argue with me about anything and everything. The real problem comes when they don’t know when to just let it go.
Yesterday morning was one of these times. I was trying to get my kid ready for school and my mother feels the need to pester me about something that annoyed here that really shouldn’t have. I tried to end the conversation I physically walked away but she kept yelling after me. Heated words were exchanged both ways and now for the first time in 30 years… I have nowhere to call home.
Now of course we’ve been trying to move anyway and those plans keep getting delayed mostly due to money reasons. We planned to stay here until our tax refund came in and we would use that. Now we don’t have much choice. So I have to swallow my pride and once again ask strangers on the Internet for help. We have enough to get us where we’re going but not much else. And that’s with leaving 95% of our belongings behind for who knows what to happen.
For clarity: we are safe for now. We have friends and other family here that are helping us out and we have a place to sleep for at least a few days. But we need to go SOON.
So please, anything you can spare is greatly appreciated.
