*...showoff 😒

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.

(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)

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 ?

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".

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.

Aujourd'hui, un jour normal dans le réseau de transports francilien :

Gare d'arrivée de RER avec ascenseur côté arrivée en panne surprise.

Il faut donc reprendre le RER, une gare plus loin, pour changer de sens, et revenir là ou l'ascenseur marche.

Mais la gare de secours a aussi un ascenseur en panne.

Donc reprendre le RER deux gares plus loin, changer de sens, et perdre 30 minutes dans ta journée pour un problème qui serait évité en ayant un second ascenseur, largement utile vu la queue pour l'ascenseur existant et le manque d'escalators...

Faut pas avoir d'obligations, de fatiguabilité, de soins à faire à heures fixes, de difficultées avec les imprévus...

When it happens to me, I feel like, at some point, one of us in this conversation has to get over it. And it shouldn't always be me.

(full disclosure, I believe it probably almost never should be me, in fact)

My philosophy is : if I went/am going through it, you can survive hearing about it.
I don't know what that colleague's reason is for asking to change the conversation. Maybe they lost someone to cancer (...who hasn't ?), maybe something else. Or maybe they're the kind of person who fast forwards death scenes in Disney movies. I don't know that person, so I don't know their reasons.

But I know there's always going to be a reason to silence the sick and the disabled.

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
