hahaha I have to pack and move house (twice - "it's complicated") and am being as neurodivergently excellent and efficient at it as one can imagine. /s
asked for help on fb on certain days, carrying boxes from the moving truck, and then - knowing that I'm going to be mentally and physically wrecked - sarcastically scheduled a day for kalsarikäänit.

now people are wanting to actually come to kalsarikäänit and are emailing about it 🤣 omg I'm snorting
