Life rebuild

[katrisims]

I suppose I could sit down and type this since it's too late to actually do anything useful tonight.

So I've been mentioning that there's some real life stuff going on, some positive stuff. Well, it's now official and I've made the announcement IRL, so it should be increasingly unlikely that anyone would accidentally find out by reading my sims blog. So here goes.

This is the news: I'm changing jobs, and while I'm at it, moving to the capital. It's a change I've been contemplating for a longish while for several reasons, some of them professional, some personal. It sort of felt like my life's been glitching pretty heavily in the recent years, so in the end I ended up doing a rebuild. (You know, at some point the carpool refused to let me return home, so I needed to forcefully delete myself, later there's been a lack of walkbys, the like. Yeah, I kinda like the metaphor.)

Right now the situation is that I have a job, and as of today, it seems I also have an apartment. There's a billion things to be taken care of, but my biggest worry, finding a place, should be history now. I'm stressed, but at the same time content that things are finally moving on.

So probably there'll be very little time for simming activities in the immediate future I would predict. Still, I'll try to pop by at least once a week to check up on things. If I've nothing to report simming-wise, I could babble a bit about real life.

Anyway, that's what's going on, so if I'm quieter than usual, I'm not dead, just busy!

Good luck to you! I did that not too long ago, and it was hugely stressful, but once it was over, things were sooooooooo much better! Good luck, and if you want advice, support, or somewhere to vent, please don't hesitate to ask.

Three big things that will make this much easier: 1) Stay hydrated! 2) Get plenty of sleep (even though it is tempting to not sleep). 3) If you throw it away/give it away/recycle it/sell it, you don't have to pack it, clean it, or move it. Plus it feels massively liberating.

Good luck again, and congratulations! *hugs*

Thanks for the encouragement and advice, Esme! *hugs* At the moment I'm feeling quite positive, but desperation might yet set in, so if it does, I may take you up on that offer.

Thank you! *more hugs*
