Nov. 8th, 2023 07:16 pm"Packing a bag with a bunch of clothes and fleeing to the new house" is not how I imagined how moving out of my parents' place would go, but that's how it went. Dad didn't mask around the house, and I didn't want to get COVID again for the at least fifth time, so smooched Mom (who managed to stay negative the entire time; get the booster, folks!) and bugged out.
I'm still figuring out all the kinks of the new house; my bedroom has a particularly leaky window so ends up colder than pretty much any other room in the house, which is not ideal. The wiring in the crawlspace is a fucking nightmare and has shit like "AC power lines just twisted together and covered with electrical tape, just lying on the ground", and has fiberglass insulation strewn everywhere; if nothing else, I'm going to need to toss all the fiberglass so I don't need to wear a tyvek suit any time I have to poke my head in there. Had our first porch piracy today, too; not a first I wanted to mark.
OTOH, it's a five minute walk to the train, a five minute walk to the full-size grocery store and the 24 hour bakery, and restaurants as far as the eye can see. We'll see how things go once it starts to get actually cold, though.
Gonna go to B-Sides on Friday; it starts at 8 and goes to 7, and I have no idea if I'll have the energy to attend the entire thing (much less getting down there and back). Here's to hoping.
