(1) I am a bit groggy and out of it post Minor Medical Procedure for Mystery Menstrual Symptoms; A was v good about shunting me around the hospital when I was too sore to particularly want to push myself/bringing me things/etc. Everything looked healthy; I was a Model Patient; biopsy results are unlikely to show anything concerning, so ??????????

(2) House viewing this morning was VERY CONFUSING. It has a garden! That contains a well-tended hydrangea, and rose bushes, and fruiting apple and plum and probably-cherry (there's definitely a cherry, I'm just not sure whether it's ornamental), and maybe a crabapple, and a vegetable patch, and a patio. And a nice kitchen. And the conservatory would be dining room/games room/music room and would be lovely esp. in the rain. So now I'm just trying to convince us (... myself) that we'd actually be able to fit the furniture into it, which is currently proving Difficult; I am intending to ask to have another viewing and actually take a tape measure this time. (Wider wheelchair just about fits in the front door. It's rampable. I should be able to get a powerchair in. There's an airing cupboard for letting dough rise in. Etc etc etc...)

OH RIGHT AND -- there's no urgency to the move (yet) so we could just keep looking -- we're basically looking speculatively at the market to see if there's anything that would be Better For Me for recovery from top surgery, for which I don't yet have a date though it's likely to be in the next year, so we could... just keep looking?

(but this house is Kind Of Lovely and also on a quiet side-street and right next door to the park and closer to A's work and the shops and I'd be able to make apple-and-plum crumble from the garden and probably plant up some raspberry canes...!)

Well, yeah. But I mean I know that housing in London is as bad as housing here? And even worse in terms of making for accessibility stuff? Sooooo. I feel like “the wheelchair can move around in this house, and this house EXISTS, and is within price-range/etc” makes for Very Heavy on the scales. Like, very heavy. And I want to say it aloud and pretty firmly due to my knowledge of YOUR brain’s tendency to . . . mis-weight things to do with your life quality simply because it is YOUR life-quality (only to have that potentially build up over time and go snap because it turns out humans have limits <3) and you shouldn’t be (according to your jerkbrain) weighting it much at all.

And how sneaky jerkbrains can be about that especially when you’ve recently kicked them into accepting SOME kind of “no I need to do thing for my life quality”. So.

Which makes bird-in-the-hand-worth-two-in-the-bush applicable. And closer to work/etc is also a HUGE gain, and furniture can go into storage/see if someone else can store it for you instead of Gotten Rid Of Completely if there is sentimental attachment to that extent? So yeah.

(like obvs I am not the boss of you and you are the one with all the details. I just wanted to pull out some Things and Aspects that I feel deserve hard contemplation. <3)

What wise Recessional says.

The news, from having arranged to go back with a tapemeasure, is that The Furniture Fits.

... so now we're just waiting on the energy efficiency certificate and finding out how flexible our current landlady is ACTUALLY willing to be...

But yes thank you. <3
