keiliss: (Highway to Hell by Red)
Move from hell. Landlord from hell! (arrogant, opinionated, interfering pr**k with no sense of personal space). Finished the move and cleaned up previous living space on the day when the temp was 37C (around 99F). Did not clean up the dead garden, said we'll come do it when there's less chance of sunstroke. I have lived some odd places in my time but the only other one that made me cry was the one where I went in the bathroom at around 9pm to be met by a rolling tide of cockroaches.... we drove around all night and watched the sunrise from the access road to the Table Mountain cable station while discussing our options. Maybe it will get better, maybe we just need to adjust. It's a temporary measure, just remains to be seen how temporary.

Cannot remember when I was last so tired or in bed early so many nights in a row. This downsizing from 3 to 1 bedrooms and full kitchen to kitchenette is way harder than I ever imagined. Still have too much 'stuff'. Need to try writing before I forget who I am --- night owl who writes, not this day person whose life is cleaning up and packing away and complaining.
