What do I do?

We moved house on Friday and I'm honestly exhausted. Our moving company pulled out of moving us because of Coronavirus. So we've had to move the majority of our worldly belongings alone in 2 cars. One of which the boot won't fucking open unless my husband crawls inside and manually unlocks it Hmm all whilst I've been on nights in ICU

I can't sleep because I've hurt my back. We need to go back to the old house tomorrow and carry on. Can't ask for any help because it's 'non essential' I'm starting nights again on Monday so not sleeping now is beneficial to me.

Do I;
A) go downstairs and empty boxes quietly and sort out the kitchen so it's at least unpacked.

Or

B) walk to the new house and move small things downstairs so that when we go tomorrow we can just ferry it from the living room to our new house ?

A
Sorry you can’t sleep

Oh gosh, sounds horrendous I'm so sorry.

I'd do A - having the kitchen sorted will make you feel better about everything.
Plus - it's one room you probably want to organise yourself and not leave to anybody else (still bitter about the way DH chose to arrange our cupboards months later . . !Grin)

And moving stuff downstairs in the old house will be quicker and more efficient with more people.

Stop and get help. From anyone that can help! And if you are in West Yorkshire you can include me. I am a nurse, you are currently the most valuable asset in the country and we need you to be well. So you need to not be stressed and bugger up your immunity. Have you tried local man with van people rather than massive removals company?

Where in the country are you OP ? Let's see if anyone can offer help. You need and deserve it
