In rough order of arrival, if not annoyance:
* The owners of the unit we're renting have decided to sell it out from under us. We have a lease which is good to the middle of January next year, and the best-case scenario at this point is that the place is purchased by another investor, who is happy to keep us on as tenants. Worst-case scenario has us moving over the Christmas / New Year period.
* First "home open" for the place was last Sunday (it hasn't sold, so there's another on Sunday week).
* Monday, I had dental work done, which tends to wipe me out for the day. Just a couple of fillings, but it meant I had to take the day off on Tuesday in order to recover from everything.
* Tuesday was my day off, and I wound up needing to run all the errands I would have run on Monday (mostly grocery shopping).
* Wednesday was back at work, but we had a farewell lunch for one of our team-members who was retiring. I'm not exactly at the top of my social game at the moment (due to Factors and Reasons, including the whole "home open" and "photo shoot" and "damn it I was hoping for a nice relaxing two weeks of leave but looks like that was far too much to expect" things, because guess when all the news about the sale of the house came through?) so I was stress eating a lot. On the one hand, I didn't have a public meltdown. On the other hand, the "diet talk" node of my brain has woken up and is screaming at me.
* Thursday was our team member's final day, including farewell morning tea, so more being "on" in public around other people. Not the best experience, and more stress-eating.
* Friday was actually relatively quiet at work, and I managed to get at least some improvement in our backlog of work. The three of us who were present also cleared out about four or five years of accumulated stationery and random this-and-that from a storage cabinet (and discovered so much free space in there) - this was prompted by our new team member (who is replacing the retired one) having cleaned out the bottom drawer of her desk drawers and found a whole heap of cutlery which had apparently been abandoned there by the previous incumbent.
* Got a call last night from my father. My parents are downsizing, and they were wanting to offer me some furniture. Which at least meant I got to tell them about the whole "yeah, we might have to be moving soon ourselves" - I declined the furniture on that grounds. But then he mentioned they wanted to see me today, to talk about their wills. Now, I have largely been low-to-no contact with my family for the better part of the past twenty-five years; this is not something you do if associating with your family is a fun and pleasant thing to do. So I am not looking forward to heading to their place this morning to discuss things.
* I had a rotten night's sleep last night, not least because of anxiety, but also because it's October, the barometer is up and down like a blasted yo-yo, and that means the arthritis in my back is playing up, so I'm dealing with back pain.
* Saturday is usually my Gaming Day. I had been planning (prior to my father's call last night) to run all my various FFXIV characters through the All Saint's Wake content, and then concentrate on getting my main character through a few more bits and pieces. This is now on hold, depending on how emotionally and psychologically wrecked I am when I get home today.
So yeah, how's everyone else going?
