i'm switching rooms!

Mar 21st, 2026

chris (landlord/roommate/house owner) asked me today if i wanted to switch to the corner room since hannah just moved out. switching will mean i dont have anyone else's room attached to mine because of how the house is set up, just the bathroom (and chris' on the floor below) which means i won't hear autum (roommate who brought a guy over in the last post) when shes up all night AND the fan will no longer be connected to alix's room (they're both remote ceiling fans and because they're made by the same company, the remotes get their signal crossed and affect both fans despite being on opposite sides of the house, so alix accidentally turns the light off on me sometimes) AND the room will be brighter because of the positioning of the window. the window will make the room a little hotter with the blinds open, but the fan should help with that. honestly, im most looking forward to the fan thing lol

i've already started moving things. someone is coming to see the empty room on the 28th, so i have a week and i'm doing a little bit each day. today i moved the stuff in the closet and dresser and tomorrow i plan to do the drawer and smaller shelf on the wall by the door, along with the stuff under the bed. the day after that, i'll tackle the bigger shelf and the night stand

my mom called in the middle of writing this and i completely lost track of what i was saying because i can't multi-task well so i couldn't keep writing this while she talked for half an hour

i keep having to clear my cache when i'm editing this site so i can see the changes (the cache sometimes keeps the updates from showing) so it keeps logging me out of everything and its SO annoying

I REMEMBERED WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY BEFORE MOM CALLED

aaaand i lost it because she texted me. hold on

i'm using the room switch as an excuse to donate some stuff and i'm going through everything and damn, i have a LOT of stuff. which means i'll likely be donating a lot. i hate how much i accumulate stuff

even with what i'm donating, i have a lot i need to move from room to room, and i'm not looking forward to how much it's going to hurt my back and make me sweaty. not gonna be pleasant

either way, i am actually happy about this move, it's just going to be a process that i have to confine to a week. which i suppose is good because i don't like taking my time while i'm moving. my previous roommates took ages to pack and unpack when they moved and i don't know how they can do that without going insane. when i moved here, i packed quickly and got everything unpacked in one day. me doing this current switch day by day is me taking my time, and i have to force myself to take these breaks so i don't overexert myself. it's annoying i have to go slow, i just want it done

i'm really really looking forward to decluttering all my stuff. i always get moments where i feel like i have too much stuff and i've been wanting to go through my stuff to donate a lot recently, so it's great that i have an excuse now

for the rest of the night, i'm going to work on finishing the backlogging of my posts on here. i still have a lot of fandom posts and i need to finish uploading the art commissions
