I'll note that I no longer think I am neurotypical though. 😂

I can listen to the entirety of the soundtrack that matters between the rental house and my house, one direction.

I have not listened to anything else on that drive this summer.

I did order the pocket door locks for the two bathrooms and a pull for the primary suite (there are reasons why a lock will probably not work there) and then I looked at sheets and I probably still need to do other things tonight but.

Am I vaguely staring at the list of everything that needs to happen in the next week and trying not to curl up into a fetal position? Yes.

I did schedule the gas and electric shutoff here at the rental, verified what else I have to get turned off (two phone calls, one in person visit), dealt with some admin shit, booked a hotel to go to Yellowstone next year, and dealt with the kitchen.

They have finally started the plaster in the main bathroom, and the final tile is going in on the floors. The backsplash will unfortunately need to wait another week, probably, but.

I had a pretty strong aura which I *think* was a migraine attempt, so I didn't run this afternoon.

I know things are rough right now for a lot of people so even if all you can do is boost the link, it's appreciated - I hate that because we are mostly pocket friends there is little I can do in person.

After a weekend that involved some time with the local fire department (everyone is okay but some nerves are fried), the cushion goal has been adjusted to account for some appliance salvage: gofund.me/4e9ccbcdb

Yes, you already earned it. No more fires required.

A very good friend of mine is staring at a potentially very bumpy next bit without much of a cushion to get through it, so I did a new-to-me thing and put together a GoFundMe for her. It would make me happy if you shared it (or donated, if you want to and can): gofund.me/7a7bb69a4

Just. Getting that and feeling obligated to reply on top of dealing with about 6 other crises and the caffeine hasn't hit yet and I do not have the bandwidth for that today.

I wrote an app years ago for cross stitch stuff and people have used it and that is great!

I also made zero money from it, it has not been updated in literal years, and the only e-mails I ever get about it are problems they want me to troubleshoot.

I want to play video games tonight but my brain is so wrapped up in move and event related shit, it's just not willing to focus on that.

Hopefully tomorrow night.

That said the floor will hopefully be done by next Friday!

Maybe some doors too.

There's a local event this weekend that I agreed to organize some stuff for so now I have to get up way early for me in order to set up the booth both days this weekend.

Errors were made.

My running buddy e-mailed me today to say, "how about we do a 50 miler next May" and I'm not saying no.

I'm not saying yes yet, but I'm not saying no.

Today the first countertops got installed in the house and I am in love. They look so good. The fabricator is a wizard.

Is this based on anything other than vibes? No.

But I don't like that one guy's vibes and the other one reminds me of my PhD advisor, so.

One of my most niche opinions has to do with which academic meteorologist I trust to produce better science.

My gut knee reaction is that you're not any more autistic than I am and ... yeah...
