Despite waking up at 7 and starting a pot of coffee, I had a serious failure to launch this morning. I need to break that weekend habit. Despite that, I did go to IKEA for lightbulbs and a hangery thing to organize my bras (only have 3 new, but a plethora of sports bras, since I tend to get filthy in them with regularity) and may have found some glass shelves to hang in my bathroom ( [link] I wish I could get the clear shelf with the white bracket rather than silver, but there is always spray paint) Came home, swam, watered the front (no rain in several weeks,) sliced up a bunch of peaches and about-to-go nectarines to flash freeze, emptied the handvac, poisoned weeds, gave myself a halfassed pedi and ate dinner.
Things that didn't get done because I remained on the couch until 12:30: hardware store for reusable 'paper' towels, car scrubby (my car needs washing, bad) paint stripper, table saw, sawhorses, plastic to wrap up screen door....ah well, it'll get done eventually. I really want to repaint my basement doors and rescreen the one down there. I think I might have to have the french doors done professionally; that might be too much for even me.
Oof.
It's funny how some people's unproductive days look like triumphs of Get It Done!ness
I'd love to buy from this woman [link] but those aren't cubes and I don't know if I can live with the lie.
There are glass ones in Target, though, that are cheaper. Which I want, because I'm sick of plastic without a dishwasher.
I have failboated my way through today. Mostly nothing serious, but involving a lot of me saying "GOD DAMN IT" and "Seriously? Seriously?" a lot and cleaning up after myself. And having to call Air Canada so I could check in for my flight.
Neighbors have me all anxious again in regards to our landlady, and talking about investigating whether she's been paying the mortgage because she's now making noises of giving it up because she can't afford it. And that if she does, that we should all just stop paying rent and look for other places to live while the eviction takes effect (he's telling me we'd have six months).
Please, don't tell me your speculations and make me anxious when I'm a day away from going on vacation and can't do anything about apartment hunting for another week. So I'll be sitting on that bit of anxiety and unable to be proactive, which would help to alleviate said anxiety.
Shut up, neighbor dude.
(Aimee, if you are willing to fudge the corners and lid, yes. You could also call it a square prism, as one pair of sides is a square)
Just got back from an awesome TexMex dinner with Dana. Food coma now commencing.
On a neighbor tangent, just chilled on the back porch with my new one across the hall and gave him the lowdown on the neighborhood. Seems like a cool guy, and does not come with his own entourage of loud drunken hags that would be waking me up in the wee hours, therefore a big improvement over his predecessor. Poor guy tripped on the stairwell and sprained an ankle in his first week in the building though.
