And now for the traditional New Tank Stand Anxiety Attack all night while I fret that its going to fail horribly

I also discovered when I was deplanting it last night that I have some massive crypts in there which is very nice

We have set up the little coffee side section and it looks lovely too. The fish tank stand is a BEAST which I had hoped it would be but am glad it is. And I forgot the fish tank cable so they sit in Darkness:tm: recovering from the ordeal they went through.

4 boxes 3 suitcases to go 😤

Fish tank 💪 Empty and Drying. The fish are in their bags in warm bucket of water. Tomorrow everything moves.

We're spending the nights at the new place (windows being broken makes it hard to sleep) but we're also sleeping at the old place tomorrow because the movers are coming wednesday and also. My body is falling apart. But the new bed is lovely.

I'm very tired but my point is in there somewhere, you get it. The glow in the dark stars are painted over ect.

Its so funny to me that the lunch I would have craved at age 10 (turkey-ham sandwich, peperami, fruube and sunny-d) is also the late lunch I get to eat because we had no food in the new place because I've moved to a real home and Iceland was there.

I dont know why the link is there at at this point im just glad bluesky allowed me to post lmao

@deldannen.bsky.social it was the second thing I thought of after having a mini breakdown 8'D we found a reasonably priced one and we can keep it in case of emergencies afterwards too ♡

Not gonna get Internet at the new place until July, and that is with shopping around 🫠🫠🫠 going to have a reasonable menty-B, then sort it out.

Box City 📦📦📦

WE HAVE THE KEYS

I made a quick-brined roast chicken to see if we like it enough to be worth an overnight brine. It was fantastic, I will 100% plan a full brine for next time, and now we have delicious leftover chicken for our club baguettes tomorrow ♡☆♡

I'm so glad we're at the time of year where people agree with me that its too damn hot and I can have all the windows open to gently freeze myself

Yessss I will double check it with the estate agent first then let you know 😭 the kitcheeeeen

WE SIGN FOR THR FLAT NEXT MONDAY 😭

I finished Baldurs Gate 3 (on the first run-through anyway) !!!

The place we've applied for now has a 'Let Agreed' banner on the apps but I haven't heard anything back today-!!!!!!!! Maybe tomorrow (or maybe its temp there while they run our paperwork?? Unclear??)

Me: We've sent everything off, we just need the paperwork to do its thing - its literally entirely out of our hands now, and a fine opportunity to practice patience and faith
My Brain:
My Brain: What if we had a lowkey anxiety attack until we found out tho 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Thank you 😭 We're really hopeful, we just need to wait on referencing to come back

🤞💖

But the good news is, I'm roasting a chicken with strips of bacon over it, so that I can chop up the crispy bacon and mix them into the sour cream mashed potato :)

I'm so tired. We have houses to look at tomorrow (we put our favourite at the end of the list so that if we like it we can just say yes there and then so we don't worry about seeing the other ones) and im just exhausted

Lots!

Rehoused Teddy, who was Furious™️ about the whole fucking situation. But he was very well behaved and didnt bite me at all.

Mmmmmm spooky foggy ♡

When you remember something spooky and now have to lie in the dark quietly because wife is asleep but am spooped :<

Roast chicken with enough to make club sandwiches tomorrow 🔥

I'm going to be a pile of bones tomorrow but it was so worth it ♡ what a lovely birthday
