Not sure if I wrote about it on twitter yet, but I've basically spent the last month trying to make sure GF keeps breathing. She's doing better now. But put some things into perspective. https://t.co/TfWFPAxAaf
We started paying for a new apartment on the 15th and I just finished getting the first load in the car.https://t.co/IdUU6wRNGW
Every time I think about how to make things better, I end up coming to an answer of "don't have space" or "can't do that here".So been spending time figuring out how to move.https://t.co/6qb0dUSZ7o
The last time I moved it took 3 months from start to finish, and it was exhausting. A day of moving stuff into the car, and then 3 days of being in bed.Now I get to move *more stuff* in *less time*.https://t.co/mZj8F6LqIs
I have a full carload right now and my hands don't hurt.It sucks moving things for sure, but I don't feel debilitated from it like before.https://t.co/BX4PyQJK49
This time is also significantly more complicated because not only do I have the GF's stuff (and she can't really help w/ lifting), we gotta sort and organize things to compact stuff into storage on top of just moving items.Yay spreadsheets. https://t.co/6lKdfpETTP
Maybe by this time next year we'll be able to grow our own medicinal herbs.https://t.co/Trknu9hY9y
Today was a success. No meltdown/word slurring or fatigue. Vacuumed the space, moved the car load in. Didn't eat anything until my lunch time. A total of 3 hours of car travel over the course of the day. Just opened two cans of Salmon w/ no problem. 🥹https://t.co/WkANYzBC2U
Can anyone recommend a good can opener that is easy on the hands, durable (all metal?), & not electric?I found a massive one that mount to the table and have a crank. That was great when I worked food service, but isn't really practical.Reviews don't really cover M.S. issues.
I am hopeful about my future. https://t.co/WhGomcU5Z5
A shelf full of stuff that took me 3 days to handle before took me maybe about 6 hours, including the hour loading up the car. I haven't been able to do this since 2012.🤩https://t.co/G2koOGPWyr
I held up one of my heavy duty black plastic shelves with one hand to get it out from behind the bed. It was cantilevered out horizontal and I was holding from it's end. It's only ~22lbs, but this feels miraculous to me. I didn't even get winded! 🙌https://t.co/m02GFQqXDZ
Yesterday I stayed up 24 hours straight and managed to prep and another car load in. Today I had to get up to lift a heavy wood bedframe that previously took me hours to move. I barely even felt it.Only reason thing aren't happening faster is syncing up sleep with use of car.
The fridge that I got for the dog trial has been moved into the car and will be moved out of the car later today.Before it was a 3 day or deal with multiple stages. Today It was one and done. Still heavy, but I could lift it!Thank you so much.https://t.co/bKrvukIKbE
We're on the home stretch for moving out.Figured out how to get a U-Haul and self-storage for the last of the stuff. I get to sort thru a bunch of her anime. Lots of strange stuff. https://t.co/cHSbmH9ydG
Last few things we gotta do depend heavily on GF being up for sorting and mental processing. The dust from moving all her anime and shelving has made her immune system react (box fan wasn't enough) so she's got brain fog & fatigue :(
I have to remind myself to not push her, but I want so badly to be out of here. The very thing I want to move for (her health) is the thing that is slowing us down. It's quite frustrating.Trying to focus on the hope I have imagine the joy in the future.https://t.co/gt0nIpUmyz
I have been pushing my hand strength to it's limit.12 boxes full of anime (and this isn't counting the stuff she's managed to sell).This is the price of being a nerd.https://t.co/gYf1x3bJnz https://t.co/M8ytYY9JNC
Happy with the decisions to move. Her flair ups already much more under control and I've been able to cook for her and make healthy foods. :3https://t.co/oaVsi32YH0
