My friend has helped me move out about 70% of my stuff (deadset legend).

But I have vastly underestimated how much stuff I have, and how much stuff I can realistically store at this next place...

I am REALLY working hard to keep myself together. Wow this is a huge huge downgrade. I really did not prepare myself for this. Even my friend looked at the other place and (reluctantly, after I was whinging) said "yeah... it's a place to crash at after a long day, not a home - it's a good thing you're only there for six months".

The plan will work, I just need to get everything out of here by the 19th. I will cull and sell further once it's been moved, none of it is too heavy.

A wise man once said to me, "you can only do what you can do when you can do it." You did what you could, when you could. And you will continue to, that's the legendary achiever you are. That is enough. Even the wind can chip away at a mountain, the sea at a cliff. You've done awesomely for the time and financial constraints you have. It's not your forever story.

yep... I will learn from this experience and look back on it - just another one of those Adulting things living with what you chose. I love your last sentence, it's not a forever story! I do need to remind myself of that from time to time. Thank you for the immensely kind words.
