Brain Empty
For the last two weeks I've been (very) slowly moving into a new apartment. I received the keys for New Place on the 1st, and my lease for Old Place isn't up until the end of August, so I have plenty of time to be leisurely about this. The two places are also only two blocks apart, which means for the little stuff I can just walk.
So of course, it's hotter than the depths of hell and more humid than the Pacific Ocean (hyperbole, but only barely).
After freezing at work sitting under the A/C, I go home, pack, and walk through 90+ degree weather to carry as many boxes as I can from Old Place to New Place before I am red in the face, have sweat through all my clothes, and am trudging instead of walking because I'm so tired.
It's miserable.
So far, I have my kitchen fully moved over, some small pieces of furniture a friend helped me move last week, and all but one of my houseplants (I have no idea where I'm going to put the remaining one, as I've run out of room).
When I finally let myself be done for the day and sit down, I want to do something to relax. I want to read1, or I want to write something2, or work on a new TTRPG campaign3, but I'm too hot and too tired to think, so I just sit there. Even at work I can't seem to get much done because I'm so tired.
My head is so empty I don't know where I'm going with this post, so I'm going to end it here.
Thoughts to share? I have a contact page now!
I'm reading Rhapsody by Elizabeth Haydon with a writing friend, and chatting about how how silly/absurd the book is.↩
I've got to get something put together to submit to my writing group for our meeting next week, but I can't decide between two of my projects that I keep getting stuck on.↩
My in-person DnD 5E campaign (heavily homebrewed Strixhaven) is ending in a couple of sessions, and I've started up a TTRPG Discord server with some friends to play non-DnD games, and I want to do a West Marches style campaign for the whole server, and I'm sure a lot of that didn't mean anything to a majority of you 😅↩
