i am incredibly stressed. to-do list for this week: - deal with the landlords (long story, and a big pain in the arse) - mail in financial junk to the job centre as they're updating their records - pack for the move: e v e r y t h i n g - establish what will be sold and/or given to goodwill - pick up my artwork that didn't sell from the store, as they're closing (which really really really sucks) mike's been really great lately, though, which helps a lot. i am definitely fortunate in a lot of ways, and i appreciate that on a daily basis. however, i am absolutely terrible at dealing with stress. i guess i should add 'learn how to deal with stress' to that list up there, too, eh? bleh. read the previous entry if you haven't yet; it's far more entertaining than this. =P [edit] i woke up this morning and am ill. i have a cold - and this is only the first day of it, which is usually the best one. last time we moved, i was really sick, and it totally sucked. i thought i would die by the end of it. i really hope it goes away by then - or at least isn't as bad. still, crap. [edit 2:] the landlord called a few hours ago to tell us that they are freaking SHOWING OUR FLAT TOMORROW. so we have to basically clean it spotless by morning. excellent part #2: mike is at work. he couldn't call in sick cos they'd fire him (seriously - they're horrid employers), so he helped me clean until he had to leave for work. i have to basically do this by myself. argh. i realised that we've two bills due, so i hopped online to pay them - and rant a short while. now i must be off again. ps. sarah, i'll have to tell you the shit they're pulling now about the lease. i don't know whether to laugh or cry. ugh.
