Firstly, our divan bed frame was too large to fit up the stairs, so we had to get rid of it and spend the first few nights sleeping on a mattress on the floor[^1]. Then our TV broke after falling off the sofa where _somebody_[^2] left it leaning a bit too precariously while they got distracted. And then finally the clutch on our exceedingly cheap car broke yesterday. To say it's been stressful is an understatement. -I'm glad we have our own space again though. I dealt with a lot of feeling like a failure after we wound up moving into my parents' house. I know it wasn't really my fault, the rental market went haywire and our landlord, being the parasite that they were, decided they wanted to ~sell the house~ double the rent, and so dealt us a Section 21 notice[^3] 3 days before our wedding.
