Moving Update 2

General
So, the bug spray helped immensely - when we went back to the new place a couple days later, we found a few more recluses, all dead. We're going to keep vigilant in the hope we won't see any more live ones, since a single bite on Fox's hand could ruin our livelihood.
I'll be honest though, this whole mess has me in an awful funk. Most of our stuff has been packed for weeks, but nothing substantial has made it to the new house.
It doesn't help that we're fighting over the space itself. Fox's health issues and our differing schedules mean we need separate bedrooms and bathrooms - the bedrooms so we can each get our sleep, and the bathrooms so I don't get sick. I'll spare you all the details, but suffice to say that while it's not life-threatening it's still a quality-of-life issue. Due to a misunderstanding with the lease company, I'm now stuck with a choice - take a bedroom that barely fits my bed in it, or get the bigger bedroom and have to use Fox's bathroom to bathe, possibly making myself sick.
I don't mean to complain - I'm happy to be with him even when we are at odds, and the house thing will get better. It's just that I hate being stuck like this. Having everything ready to go for weeks with no progress on the actual move is killing me, and I'm half tempted to unpack all my computer stuff so I can at least catch up with my voice queue.
I don't really drink, but I'm debating picking it up.

Can I maul them?
But don't worry! Just take your time with everything, don't try to overwhelm yourself, and things should fall into place. :) Also, I hope you don't take up drinking, speaking as a non drinker myself. :( It'll just numb your health even more.
I promise I won't do anything that results in harm or being irresponsible. I was mostly being facetious. Thank you for being concerned for me though, I really appreciate it
Also, sorry for the late reply. I just got back from a trip. >.<
That really sucks about your lease company. Is it that you have a choice between two properties then and neither are suitable?
Moving is a pain no matter what. As a nomad with way too much furniture, I can commiserate.
Fox's skin is messed up. It's bad enough that I break out in rashes and hives, and occasionally get marble-sized cysts whenever we have too much skin contact. It's painful for him to even move some days, or at least it was at its worst; as much as I complain about getting sick from it, he's had it way worse, and for years longer. It's lucky for us that I like wearing tights and zentai and all sorts of revealing clothes that still leave me completely covered, and that he loves seeing me in the same. We even have to keep separate rooms and bathrooms to keep exposure down. Also note that water stings like lemon juice on a papercut for him, so conventional bathing is a no-go.
So we shopped around for a 2br/2ba place so we could both take care of our needs (and work him up back to normal bathing) and despite the listing saying as such, we didn't realize this place is a 2/1.5 setup. The bathroom with a tub is next to a tiny bedroom, and the embarrasingly huge master bedroom has just a toilet as its bathroom. So either I have my king bed and nothing else in that tiny bedroom, or I have to bathe in the same bathroom he uses, upping my exposure risk. We both have a lot of collectibles and such to display, so we need about the same amount of space, but since his computer is a macbook he doesn't need a desk like I do for my gaming rig. I want to have my personal stuff hidden away so the house looks nice, but that won't happen if I get the tiny room - my piano, my lego train layout (yes, we play with Lego - I can't be an adult all the time), my PC, my recording booth, it's all going to have to go into the living room. But at least I'll have less of a chance of an oozing cyst that makes walking painful and lasts for weeks at a time.
It's really frustrating.
I don't think most of us want to be adults most of the time :p
Best wishes for figuring something out with that. Having fun stuff in the common area can work out! Of course this is coming from a person whose natural tendency is creative disarray.
I still have to adult most days, but it's so nice to take a break and let my brain have a rest. I think part of the stress lately is that we haven't had much of our usual intimate/play time for the last couple weeks.
I hope we come to an agreement soon, we're solidly into crunch time and missing our deadline could mean VERY BAD THINGS.
