Having to find a new place to live, make sure we can finance it, pack, plan how to move everything, coordinate how to move everything, and keep everything organized is... mentally exhausting.

I thought I'd have the energy for the #FFXIVWrite2024 this year, but every time I sit down and think about it I just feel t-i-r-e-d.

So I'm being kind to myself and just letting myself have the break, I have enough stress and worries going on in life to beat myself up over fanfic.
