Only have the brain for bullet points today, but apparently more chatty than I thought

• I have AC in at my office now (window unit, because I'm a satellite office) I am pleased
• I got help from one of the constructions workers next door to get the trash out- whew. We have a LOT to go with the post move, and last week we failed to get any taken because they don't actually come up to our house, just the end of the main street. Noted. (Should be interesting in winter)
• The old house: it's not done. primal_pastry  went through and cleaned on Friday, and the house itself is essentially empty, it's just the basement and rest of the garage, you see... And a lot of it is pretty much just up to quiet_elegance  to sort- not a lot for others to do. I'm hoping he'll be well and truly done damn soon- like Friday? I hope.
  • I did way too much around the house, but most of the books are on the shelves, even if they're not in order. The kitchen still needs rehabilitation and more shelves, but it's getting there. Now that the books are mostly sorted, I have less excuse on the kitchen thing.
• I really can't say enough about how wonderful my parents and Amy are. I keep getting reminders that my emotional state is skewed and that my capacity to deal with surprises and sudden shifts are excessively limited.
• Ditto, quiet_elegance  and purple_terror  are very thoughtful, particularly when I'm at the end of my rope. In return, I try to do things like make the executive decision of yes we're ordering pizza one more night, then doing so and getting it paid for over the phone because after yesterday's activities we were almost or entirely non-verbal in our fatigue.
• I'm so tired of feeling isolated over house stuff. I think that I've hit a turning point. I had to cancel seeing yet another friend yesterday because going out last night was not going to happen and trying to add that in on top of everything else was stressing me out and it was just after breakfast time.
• Given all that: going to work is a fantastic thing. With the AC and things for me to do that are not a huge physical stress, I might have the capacity to do things like, cook dinner when I get home. This would not be the case if I were taking another day to do house stuff.
• OK, that last point reminds me I have to shut up and do some of that to do list.
