Five things that make me anxious about moving into the new house and ten things I’m looking forward to (because I’m too anxious right now to just make a list of things I’m looking forward to)
Things I’m anxious about:
No longer having the top bunk and my mom taking this as an invitation to cuddle me/hug me/whatever she wants
Locking my bedroom door and my parents unlocking it again with the key they found, despite my telling them not to
More wasps coming in through the hole in the screen door (although I think that one got in cause the door was open, and I think Dad is going to fix the hole)
Driving up the hill near my new house, especially if I have to stop partway up and the car rolls back slightly when I take my foot off the break to put it on the gas pedal
Not being able to make my room private enough to therapy sessions (currently I use a a whitenosie machine outside my door, but my new room is on the main floor of the house and the layout is quite different)
Things I’m looking forward to:
Not having to sleep in a bunk bed anymore, because every time my heart beats I can feel the bed moving (I’m only slightly exaggerating)
Getting away from our current, shitty landlord
Having central air conditioning
Having a room on the first floor and no longer having to carry my things up and down the stairs constantly
Living in a new place (change is really hard for me, but I also get bored and depressed if things stay the same for too long)
Having a tub AND a shower in both bathrooms
Living in a really cute neighborhood with a really cute street name
Less steep, carpeted stairs (so they’re not as slippery as our current ones)
Having a garage, both for storage and for that amazing garage-smell
No longer having my cat’s litter box in the bathroom and having her shut out of it for multiple hours a day cause the bathroom doubles as my dad’s office (he’s a therapist and sees most of his clients over video calls)
Alright, listing the things that I’m looking forward to helped more than I anticipated. I like when that happens.
