moved, temporary measure

[keiliss]

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.

OMG, that sounds utterly horrible. *tight hugs* Moving isn't fun under the best of circumstances, but that's indeed from hell. I wish there was a magic wand to weave or staff to tap to make this better... sending all the positive vibes your way! *hugs more*

(Have a cat in a box in lieu of a hug icon which I don't yet have)

Cat in a box is always good :D Cat in or on anything is good!

All I can say is anyone who needs to move and downsize should avoid midsummer if possible. This has been quite the experience!

I hope things get settled for you soon.

Thank you :) Two or three boxes left to unpack, still trying to come to terms with the limited packing space in the kitchen, but it's better than it was. Just damn hot. Envy you your cold weather, lol.

Sounds awful!
I hope things get better (or feel better) soon!

Summer will pass eventually - swear I won't be happy till it's cooler! But the move is like anything, you get used to things faster than you'd imagine. Well, almost used to. I do hate moving at the best of times.

OMG - that sounds awful.

So sad to come back here and read this. Do hope that things improve for you.

I guess it's the old thing about having to change your attitude if the circumstances aren't what you'd have chosen --- I am working on that, with gritted teeth! Thanks Tia, love. Appreciate it *hugs*
