As seen on doomdays's journal at LJ.

Time travel challenge: For this challenge, go to the year your journal was created and find the entry closest in time to today's date. Post that entry here.

I joined back in 2002, but the first date in that year was after August, so, I'm showing two dates. The first from the year of joining, the second on the actual 28th of August the next year.

I'll cut because, man, I posted a lot back then. ( cut )

In conclusion, I still babble on about the same things mostly, while I love trickyfish I went on to be a trickc person big time and am fondly smiling at reading about the start of my popslash time that went on for many years and introduced me to amazing people who became steadfast and good friends.

It also needs to be noted, I never went on to become Voyagerchickadee. I feel I missed a trick there.

We helped move Corey to his new flat yesterday. It's great for one person with a decent size living room and bedroom, a small bathroom and the tiniest kitchen ever. Seriously, only one person will ever be able to go in it at once unless they're very friendly.

It took five car journeys from his old place to the new, and as the new flat is on the first floor, meaning two flights of stairs, by the end of the day my knees were feeling it as I helped carry things upstairs. Though, I did leave the heaviest to Corey, like the massive weights he's got. He carried both of them up at once along with something else and when I commented said the barrels he has to move around at work are even heavier.

Frustratingly, on what was my most active day for ages, my Fitbit ran out of charge halfway through the day, as I would have liked to see the final totals for steps and stairs climbed. Alas, it wasn't to be and I'll have to count them in terms of aching muscles and satisfaction of a job well done.

James got his first two appointments for the hospital today. One for next week the second the Monday after, while the two-week pathway is damn scary, I can't deny they get things done fast. We've also had the first tentative conversation about looking into early medical retirement for him. Hopefully not for a while, but we both know he's not going to be able to keep working to the actual retirement age so it's worth looking into things so we know where we stand.
