Sometimes you think it's going to be a bad day, all signs point to having a bad day, your body is insisting on having a bad day...
...And then an old friend drops in unprompted, and starts clearing your balcony, moving your couch, sorting old cans of food in your pantry, and demands that you make a list so that he can come back and do even more.

Yet another episode of my friends not beating the "I don't deserve them" allegations.

I've been dreaming of getting rid of my old flat screen tube TV (that I never wanted in the first place ; my then-sister decide to bring it, and it was too heavy for me to move it after that) for a literal decade so I could move my couch against the wall.
The TV will go next week (in the meantime it's in my hallway) and now my couch is how I've been wanting it for years. It's like the room had a growth spurt. So much room for activities !

Future kitten will love to have toys and tunnels there.

All evening I've been walking in and out of the room like "woah, it's everything I hoped it'd be".

A rare sight.

Been thinking about how my ex-sister told me "no but that's a cool TV because it's cathodic AND flat screen, and they didn't make a lot of them because soon digital flat TV screens became the standard" and my TV-history brain went "fine, put it against this wall then". And then proceeded to never use it because MY COMPUTER HAS A DIGITAL FLAT SCREEN.
God I am so easily manipulated.

My back still hasn't recovered from the ~2hrs I did close to nothing while my friend did all the (literal) heavy lifting on Saturday.
We do it again in an hour u_u

This afternoon we made a lot of mess in order to extract order from it. It's a tiresome process but I can see the vision and I hold on to it XD
But oh my God I made the mistake to sit down after my friend left, and my back is like, completely refusing to be responsive. I'm going to have to crawl to my bed tonight and I'm afraid that's not an exaggeration.

That said I was gifted a new light switch in my living room (to replace the one that broke 6 years ago and couldn't afford to get replaced by someone who can stand for long periods of time).
As well as two plastic storage bins that, if I'm being fully honest, I have been dreaming but setting aside for years because "yes a plastic bin is *just* 60€, and technically I have the money, but it's *just* 60€ for a bin here, *just* 30€ for a new shower head there, and soon there isn't money for a cat".

Honestly, I know it's March, but best belated birthday gifts ever.
There's light in the living room and a bin to put Tomcat's things away safely. What in the world could I want more ?

(ok maybe I've mentioned the dead light above the kitchen sink, but hey, he can say no, he knows he can say no, he's been very good at boundaries his whole life)

Thinking about how The Evil TV was left on the sidewalk earlier today, and about 4hrs later my friend and I witnessed an older woman lifting it* into her car.
Which honestly, good for both of them. In a new home, it's just going to be a TV, as it doesn't come with the evil baggage it had in mine. And the woman got a free flatscreen TV that won't spy on her.
