* Wednesday, I gave myself food poisoning. I'm pretty sure how, and it shouldn't be a problem going forward.

Thursday: I woke to find someone had horked up a hairball on the bed, so I had to change sheets before proceeding.

I ended up muddy and soaked armpit to crotch from moving the 30 Gallon. I made a mess of the floors, which needed cleaning after and smashed a couple toes bringing in a chair from the patio. One of the toes is swollen and impressively bruised and hurts a lot, but doesn't feel broken as it was a more robust toe rather than the fragile one. It's done, and Livia has forgiven me enough to come watch Fish TV from the safety chair.

Fish corner: https://gwydionmisha.tumblr.com/post/619436257353908224/fish-corner-is-now-officially-a-thing-yes-the-20

I still have a massive amount of cleaning and sorting to do and the usual anal retentive fussing about. I still need to decide what to do about the altar stuff, still in boxes. I am seriously considering removing the table in the office the 30 was on with shelving in a couple of years when it's safe for me to go out and visit used furniture stores, but there's a lot of time to think about it and for now having somewhere to stack bits and bobs displaced by the project and the library things I can't return is valuable in itself.

So not over, but all the urgent things are done.

I did not even sit down to sort med trays until after 1AM, so you can imagine how productive I'm being.
