So many thoughts swirling around in my brain. I am not emotionally prepared for this to happen so fast. I can’t believe we’re finally getting a new oven here on the brink of civilization collapsing. There will be strangers in my house; I need to warn them to wear masks. What will we do with the cats? There’s a 4 hour delivery window; what am I supposed to do in the meantime? I have ADHD!

OVEN UPDATE: the oven has arrived but they wouldn’t install it b/c it’s supposed to be on its own dedicated breaker and ours shares a breaker with the stove 😭

So no working oven until we get a permit and get that taken care of.

I have a lot of built-up anxiety/excitement/anticipation around getting this new oven and getting to play around with it, and now I have no good way to expend that nervous energy. It’s like telling a kid their birthday or Christmas has been delayed, TBD.

This is how I know I’m a boring old adult now.

At least the house is (mostly) clean, b/c I also have a lot of anxiety around guests being in my house if it’s not presentable.
Like, if I know someone is coming over, I will hide shit and dust shit and vacuum all the floors and start freaking out about all the dust and clutter I was blind to before.
It’s from growing up in a borderline hoarder-level house and then working as a housecleaner as a young adult.

@KydiaMusic there's a great and underused old English word for this pre-guest cleaning activity: "scurryfunging"
