I have finally obtained somewhere to live (I believe someone may already have mentioned that) and thus, have now got the headspace to do things other than worry in a very focused fashion. This is why I have only got round to reading Hannah's posts now. As per usual with a lot of the stuff she says, it took a degree of rumination to identify the, perhaps we should call them, affectionate insults that she loads her conversation with at times. The annoying thing about this is that she has buggered off to Italy and I'm not going to be able to call her on them till I catch up with her, by which time it will probably have gone off me.
Anyway in response to one of them, I do know how lucky I am. I just haven't had time to revel/grovel in it yet. I've spent the last two last two weeks actually doing nothing else but flat hunting and staring moodily into space, and of course occasionally snapping at the people that I owe the majority of my life-happiness quotient to. This resulted in the rest of the world making a sudden, en masse reappearance a short period of time after I signed the lease. I am also fighting a fairly constant urge to do nothing but nest. My mind keeps wandering off to think about storage solutions, whether my green glass thingy would look better on the windowsill and maybe buying a bird feeder. I'm fighting that though.
Anyway, in conclusion, whatever about flats, I certainly have better friends than I deserve. People who have, with ridiculous good nature and patience, put up with me panicking, shouting, being completely self-involved, having hysterics, obsessing, snapping, Being Silent (I can do this in caps believe me) and generally being a complete prima dona level pain in the ass. They also carried an awful lot of boxes, organised me, put up with me throwing a strop when someone put the teaspoons in the wrong place (the horror) and when I finally completely fell apart made sure that in the midst of all the boxes I had a bed to sleep in with matching bedlinen (at times they know me scarily well).
Err, thanks guys.
