The grinding progression towards the possibility that I might be able to unpack the Despair Boxes as soon as next month continues.
(
artan: We might be able to put things in your office as soon as September!
Me: Ha ha... wait... that's... in less than two weeks. What is time.)
The current status of the project that is in my room is something like:
The holes in the walls in the office are repaired; the office has been painted; the bedroom has been moved into the office; the wallpaper around the holes in the bathroom wall has been stripped.
artan has gotten the wood for the desk/shelves construction as of this morning.
Tomorrow, a plasterer comes to fix the holes in the bedroom and bathroom (and around the front door, and over the dining room table, and whatever else we've turned up). Then there will be sanding in the bedroom, and painting, and then putting the shelves back up, and then cleaning the floor of all the dust and debris, and then! We move the bedroom furniture back in! We clean the floor on the other side! We theoretically start moving things up from the basement! The desk/shelves get built and installed! I have an office! Theoretically.
Also tomorrow morning, the mason! For ongoing stonework shenanigans! Because that whole project is a slow-rolling nightmare of stress all around that I haven't even had the spoons to talk about effectively!
Also there's a bunch of other things.

( Writing and such )
I am pretty sure there was more but it has fallen out of my head in the deluge of all the everything while I have been trying to write this. I have not yet resorted to day drinking.
