thebrokenarrowslist of things i should look into doing in preparation for the move:
-get an oil change and stuff done on the Cruiser so it can handle long distance driving better. done! ish. it's still a high mileage car and will complain a little :c
- buy a little extra oil/power steering fluid so i can replenish the car whenever it needs, poor thing is gonna be doing quite a bit more driving than it's used to. thank god gas is cheap now ;;
- collect boxes from work. store them either in the car or downstairs or something until i need them.
- clean out my car really good. just go to jimmy clean, get the cheap wash and throw out/vacuum everything.
- figure out how to collapse/remove the seats in the back of the Cruiser for moving big things and lots of boxes. that is so fucking useful and neat man YEH i love my car. i hope it lives forever.
- WASH EVERYTHING. this won't be until later but might want to invest in like my own bottle of cleaner because i'm going to have to clean EVERYTHING. i mean everything except like, the books and other paper. every single altar tool will be cleaned. everything dusted, washed of cobwebs or whatever [this room has AWFUL cobwebs. i think it's just because of the chimney. if you don't keep on top of it the cobwebs are terrible in here!]
so yeah we are starting to be IN TALKS with our friends in the city regarding the move. barring some crazy unforeseen circumstances, this is probably gonna happen. we've got like one or two more avenues we want to check out just so we can say we've sussed out all of our possible options. [except the dad thing. i guess i've chickened out of that since we found another option. for now.] and then i think we're going up there to see them and take bb to a nearby job interview on Tuesday, which is my next day off so. yes. :3
woke up really realy early today and took the car to the shop. the guy told me that the power steering fluid was leaking like crazy, which i of course knew already. he just wanted to make sure i was refilling it regularly. there's no way i could ignore that awful whine/vibration when it gets low, so yes of course i am. i'd be terrified to break something in the power steering if there was no fluid o_o so the car is a lot happier now, hopefully it'll stay that way! i actually took it for an oil change AND tune up, but he said we already did one recently [august??? was that recent enough?? lol] and it wasn't in need of another one. so, ok. whatever makes the Cruiser happy haha.
idk what happened exactly but Bird & co. had a really rough day yesterday and UGH WHY DON'T I HAVE LIKE $800 RIGHT NOW SO I CAN GO FLY THERE AND TAKE CARE OF THEM -n- it's like 8 am there right now and they're not awake yet of course but like jfkasjdlaksbna FREN IS IN DISTRESS unacceptable. >:C
i want to get the question of where exactly we're moving to be answered as soon as possible, because i'm pretty sure i know the answer, but that also leads to more questions, such as where exactly will i be staying for two-ish weeks starting a month from now? i won't be sleeping in my car or anything, but... i reeeeally don't want the experience of being cooped up in that tiny blue room living out of boxes while i listen to them dismantle my room that i put so much effort into. weh. :[ if only the previous tenant was moving out like... ten days earlier, even. the sucky thing is that not only Hiccup's birthday is gonna be during this mess, but even more importantly, bb's birthday is too! T_T so we'll be in upheaval and really broke. that sucks ass. but i will do my best to make it the best birthday he could imagine.
ya. so. i'mmm gonna have a nap or something :v and play more animal crossing. it's almost like i'm back to where i started, down to one game. [although animal crossing was like my 2nd or 3rd game for the system. but. DETAILS]
