#forking tired

No wonder I'm tired

I just replied to a comment on my previous entry and really grokked how busy my past three months have been.

October: close on my old house, pack the moving van + car, clean out the old house, put some stuff in storage up north, drive from SEA to MEX (8 driving days, 2 rest days) with four cats.

November: set up new rental place, get extra keys, get car tags, start unpacking, start language immersion, start settling in...then fly north (work issue)

December: computer motherboard / charging port failure, buy new computer (and plan trip to pick it up), get backups off old computer, unpack some more, switch phone carriers, fly north Xmas week, pick up new computer and start setting it up, fly back home

And it shows no signs of slowing! Next month I need to: get MXN health insurance, get MXN driver's insurance, renew my residency (3 more years!!), finish xferring my money down so that I'll have money to buy land and build my house when I find the right spot (the exchange rate currently favors the US dollar, but with the upcoming leadership change I don't expect that state to continue), and then do some more - hopefully the last - unpacking. Then I have another flight north to finish packing the items in storage and hopefully arrange for them to be shipped to MEX at that point. (Depends if I finish packing during the next trip, or not. And if I finish, how early in the trip do I finish. I don't think I can give them just 24 hrs notice, that isn't polite and likely they can't be available that quickly.) If things go well, I should be able to start relaxing by...mid-March.

In all of this, I've taken the helm of Radio Free Monday, a fan-community resource that's been run solo (!!!) by copperbadge here and on Dreamwidth for about 15 years. This is a managed-scope project, I have all the necessary skills in spades, and it's good to be able to help keep a community resource going. Please pass the word among your various fandom communities that this resource is Still A Thing. (Once I've gotten the hang of it, I may ask for one or two people to volunteer to help out from time to time so that I, too, can avoid burnout. If you're interested, watch this space. And that one.)

Regulus getting his first ever boyfriend and James being upset that Sirius is not more upset-protective-brother about it so of course he has to be even more upset about it (he’s not jealous at all)

I’ve talked about this before but i can’t stand how much of a monopoly the Big Apps (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, tik tok, and that’s basically it) have on social media. Like there’s really nothing else to use the same way. Some smaller ones pop up periodically (remember Amino?) and I guess there’s Reddit if that counts

I was surprised when I first heard people say the first Lord Peter Wimsey novels were too caricaturesque, because I don't remember a time I felt more identified with a character that when Lord Peter gets so focused, worried, and disturbed by his discovery of the nature of the crime in "Whose Body?" that he goes on a full blown PTSD attack. And then he is so very tired. And needs several days of rest to recover. But he's talking it in the exasperated philosophy of "going on a stupid little walk for my stupid mental health". Extremely relatable to me, whatever that says about my mental health state.

.

got thoroughly yelled at by my parents (well. mostly my father. as per usual.) Again over a monetary situation and really just barely grasping for any justification to not suck it up and kms already .Only reason im having a panic attack instead of actually doing anything is he was so mad he wouldnt even finish a conversation with me just hung up so I didnt get chewed out half as much as normal but I Know its still coming eventually. no helping it when he gets apocalyptic like this. and I was finally having a slightly better time these past couple days too. whatever karmic law I've offended please just take me now I am not stable enough for any of this. If you want me back in the cycle of reincarnation hurry up and commit Im so deeply over this death by a thousand cuts shit

If I'm too much of a coward to kill myself, I wish I could escape somewhere at least. Just for the night at least, just to not be here. Anything
