Hi Everyone,
We finally got the storage unit emptied today! Plans fell through with my recently-promoted-over-me boss and his ex for moving the larger items, and since we were running out of time with the storage unit and another $190 payment looming tomorrow, I rented a Uhaul van and we have crammed everything into our apartment.
I didn't realize we had so much stuff. I am absolutely, utterly exhausted.. but we did it. We as in us, and the Fediverse. My friends here are the reason that we have a place to call our own for the first time in two years. It has one of the weirdest apartment layouts I've ever seen in my life, and I love it. But I digress..
Anyway, this unfortunately cut into what I was intending to use for our auto insurance, which was set to cancel.. well, yesterday actually. This is concerning because my partner has just started his new job (tomorrow will be his second day) and has to shuttle me to and from work in heavy city traffic.
I don't like the prospect of him having to do so without insurance. His anxiety and CPTSD don't need that additional concern.
Another small challenge is getting him clothing to meet dress code at his work. He needed solid black shoes, so I had to give him my pair that I've been using for work (but had been intending to exchange them soon because they're already starting to fall apart after four months) and switch to an old pair that are not supportive and make my suspected plantar fasciitis get worse.
Basically we're both working retail and need new black shoes. Because the ones I need seem to no longer be carried in store in my area, I need to purchase a new pair before I can return the old one, because they have to be shipped. Arrrgh..
We're also almost completely out of food, but I'm not including that in the total because my primary concerns are that we can get to and from work safely (and so our feet survive work safely) so I'm calculating the bare-bones minimum to do that.
Unfortunately I may still need a little #MutualAidHelp help here and there until we get stabilized. Please, please bear with me. I swear I'm trying.
If you're willing AND able, please boost and if possible donate. If you can't donate, *do NOT feel guilty* for being in the same boat as us. Your feelings about it are valid but rest assured you needn't feel bad.
