 @122dbffa "If I screw this up, I'm homeless" is very much my life lately. It's a lot to deal with and my mind seems to have locked it out except for times when I have to deal with it directly.

 @27823c36 

that's a tough place to be stuck, especially when it feels like the stuff causing an overall situation is too big to mentally deal with until absolutely necessary

best of luck fizz'ing out some of the energy-intensive problem scenarios, it ain't easy and so relatable, gosh all the times I've spent planning to handle a future problem only for a radically different problem than I could even imagine to occur instead 😅

 @122dbffa fleeing Missouri for Oregon and an apartment for a house sitting contract really upped the stakes for me. Fortunately the rewards for making my brain do the thing aren't "continued existence" but "improved existence." Which I managed to take some steps toward today. Whew!
