So, I'm almost done with moving stuff. The garage is mostly empty (just the old cycle engine, engine hoist, a couple tool boxes, and some odds & ends to go). The basement, on the other hand, has a bit more - not a lot, mind you, but it's also messier, so it seems like a bigger task.
I've been staying at the new place since Thursday, and it's been nice, but has taken a bit to acclimate. It's so quiet here! Especially with my room being on the 2nd floor - no noisy neighbors, no crickets, no furnace right below my bedroom. I had some trouble with my bed - I didn't get a box spring when I bought my new bed, just something called a 'bucky board', which is only about 2" thick. Well, the opening around the stairs leading to the 2nd floor is rounded in the upper corners, and it turns out that this meant that my board was too wide to fit, by about 2". My queen-sized mattress didn't really fit either, but I forced it. It took my 30 minutes to get it through the opening & I broke off some plaster in the process, but I finally got it upstairs. Now, it's just lying on the floor, because I can't use the frame without the bucky board. I had to go to the mattress store & buy new split boards (there goes $100), but I should have them by Monday, and then I can set up the frame & get things reset.
I'm torn now between getting the rest of my stuff out of the old basement, or trying to organize my new garage, as I didn't quite plan out where everything went when I started. I should do the basement stuff, but 1) Ugh, it's so dusty/full of cobwebs & maybe still a bit of mold, and 2) there's so much little crap that I'll have to sort through, it's just going to take forever, and 3) GRJ will be visiting her ma here in town on Sunday & wants to stop by with her to see the house. This means I have to (at minimum) get the living room presentable and ready for people to sit. Not a big deal, I'm half-way there already, but I could be doing other things.
Speaking of GRJ, I've given up on her friendship, after all these years. We talk occasionally (like, a text or two ever month or so), but I decided I was done when she posted on facespace that she was bored & free for the weekend & wondered if anyone wanted to hang out with her. I've been trying to arrange a time with her to go up & hang for months now, and she didn't even bother to text me & suggest I come up. I'm not mad, it just kind of hurt a bit, but it did make me realize that I'm only important to her when she needs support/help. That's fine too, but I'm not going to put any more effort into communicating with her at this point. I don't need that kind of friendship, so I';ll just have to relegate her to the "acquaintances" category.
