oh my god a dentist did this to me once decades ago and I went into the office mad as fuck and paid in coins

i originally read goldenhand before clariel, i think bc of the weird australian release schedule to us release and it honestly made clariel even more heartbreaking

I don't think I've done a full reread since terciel and Elinor came out and I debated a chrono reread but I love how publication order builds the tragedy tbh

I have a truly stupid amount of vacation time and I'm always having to struggle to keep myself below the cap so it's good that I burn some days. especially if I'm not going anywhere for the holidays.

I also went ahead and took off the whole first week of December instead of just two days so I can go in on the first and get keys and do an inspection and wipe down of the place and I'll go over with a suitcase that first night tbh to get a feel for things.

I am so flippin excited to be closer to Things To Do instead of being out in the burbs

the only bigger expenses for the move are the moving itself and I also need to buy a new bed and I'm trying to decide what I want other than a firmer mattress and a platform bed frame

I should probably also like, set up utilities and insurance this week

also the decor is too sparse for the style of both the decor and the home. it looks like the chairs and sofas just kept multiplying to try to fill all the empty space. where the fuck is the art.

idk man, my dad's mom was a pretty classy broad with a formal dining room and a formal living room and a very comfortable and lived-in den and the books on her shelves were real and intended for reading and research and you could get to them.
