And I will be *very* happy to sleep in *MY* bed on Friday night considering since last Saturday (and including tomorrow) I'll have slept in 3 different beds in 2 different states (including the same one in two different states)
And somehow I'm gallivanting around the city Saturday?

Successfully made it to VA (and my parents' friends' house where we're crashing tonight)
Parents are now residents of a state I never stepped foot in before today
And tomorrow their stuff will show up at their new house and they can start unpacking and settling in

😭😭😭 My mom was convinced by their (now-former) neighbor that the drive to VA would be better if we left *after* 9 instead of the asscrack of dawn
Thank you Arlene 🙏

Movers didn't finish until after 3, we didn't have lunch until around 4
It took until after 7 to finish cleaning (including dealing with a left-behind tv) and finally having dinner after 8 at my parents' friends' place
I am SO TIRED 😫

The movers are *almost* done? Still a few odds and ends.... and now it's after 2pm and we haven't had lunch yet 🫠
Once the truck is gone we're going to eat something
And then we have to do a final cleaning pass and put out the last bits of trash

Realizing I still have wifi, meaning my dad has yet to go down and unplug the router yet.... which he needs to do so he can pack it...
My parents also *may* have overestimated space-in-car....
This is going to be a very long day...

At this point of the morning I am on dog duty in my emptied-out old room
Because *someone* hasn't eaten breakfast yet and the *other* someone will totally steal it if left in a room with no supervision (and also the door doesn't stay fully-closed, which is a problem with the movers working

My dad was already annoyed that I called and asked them to pick up more packing tape
"I thought we had 2-3 more rolls"
"There were 2 this morning, I just finished one of those and we have a lot more boxes to pack and close"
😑

Just finished vacuuming all of the kitchen cabinets and drawers
And finding all sorts of things they didn't take out yet (lest we forget them tomorrow)
And when they get back it's pretty much going to be pandemonium the rest of the night 🫠

My parents have gone to closing #1, and I've been left with the tasks of labeling/closing moving boxes and vacuuming cabinets
And my dad apparently has no concept of what "fits" in a given box (leaving me to rearrange so boxes close properly) 🥲

Yes, this is very much the opposite of whatever a vacation is....
These next two days are going to be some of the most stressful of my life....

And: don't use a "site-builder plug-in" to make it if using WP or something (I inherited a site like that once and I needed to just rebuild the whole thing in native WP)

😑 My parents have summoned me a day early to help them with their move
I was hoping to spend today totally vegging out but I guess I'm packing early and heading out sooner than expected? 🤷♀️

I imagine others do this too sometimes, but I've been partial to Barnes & Noble's "25% off pre-orders" sales they run every so often (and they're good at filling orders)
(Used to get manga from RS, but after the buy out that's what I switched to, and it's worked quite well for me?)

✨So What Now? ✨
Here's a few:
Alibris
Barnes & Noble
Books-A-Million
InstockTrades
Local Comic Shop
Local library
Merry Manga Co
Amazon (But if you're boycotting them then that's valid)
Some publishers have started to sell their own books such as TokyoPop & Yen Press with pretty generous discounts

Urgh, trying to cross the damn street to go do laundry is usually bad enough (double parked cars, erratic drivers, cars blocking curb cuts) but add snow pushed into banks by the plows and randomly-shoveled corners......😩
Oh, and it's like.....15°F today too....

Front-of-Dress-Circle tickets acquired

11:07am: "Oh yeah, didn't they say tickets were on sale for that concert with Uematsu from 11am?"
"Your wait is more than an hour...there are 4685 people ahead of you in line"
So who knows? We'll see if there's anything left?

Ah, I should have muted some words that some people won't shut up about (and that I have no interest in seeing) from my feed sooner
So much less noisy....
(And every time I get to the point of muting something I don't want to see in my feed I'm like "why didn't I do that sooner?")
