It was very icy -- though not as horrendously icy as sumi's commute -- and I had to wait for my car to de-ice rather than get out and scrape it off because I was pretty sure I'd not be able to keep upright while doing so.

As with so many other things about the new place, I am on standby assembling my sofa until I can find a replacement barrel nut for the one World Market slighted me (the box and the little baggie of hardware had been opened). Though I may resort to gluing a dowel instead of using the intended screw if I can't find one in the next few days.
Connie, I think you may have gotten the allen wrench that was supposed to come with mine. (Luckily I have a Swiss Army allen wrench among my tools).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have way too much shit to do to be at work today. Or, to do any work today. I have to go to the bank and the post office, have a training from 11-12, and leave here by 12:45.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's okay for me to go back to sleep for a little while, right? Even though I missed three days last week--the end of this week (including Saturday) are going to be the biggest days of my job yet.
But it still hurts.

Sleep is gooood.
I went to the post office, where there was a crazy line for the windows, but only one person ahead of me at the machine. I almost had a heart attack, though, when she put the first of her many many internationally-addressed cards down on the scale. Luckily, she did the rest in groups.
