Wow. It's September.
Sep. 2nd, 2008 10:04 amIf time goes by this fast now, what will it be like in twenty years? Please tell me it stops accelerating, at the very least.
The unpacking is... yeah. Not going so great. (Bwah! I typoed that as "packing." What does that tell you?) I figure once I hit a rhythm and stop having to go out every day in search of things, it'll go better. I still have four days if I include today.
The cats have for the most part accustomed themselves to the idea of living in a new space. Pan-Pan is the only one having trouble: he keeps wandering around looking lost and asking "Mrrp?" every 30 seconds or so. He's also become even clingier than before, and even more incapable of sitting still when cuddling. Did I mention how vocal he's become? "Mrrp?" "Mrrp?" "Mrrp?" "Mrrp?" "Mrrp?" "Mrrp?"
*sigh*
My father and I moved the stove yesterday.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ashforestwalker and talyesin helped us get it out of toughlovemuse's garage and stuck it in the van, making it all look deceptively easy. My father and I are not nearly as large and burly, however, and we had a dickens of a time getting it home. For one, there were cars parked all over the place in front of the house, so we had to carry it along the sidewalk for about 100 yards first, which was Not Fun. Then we got stuck on the front steps to my place. Thank goodness a very kind neighbour saw our predicament and came to help us. I managed to lacerate my fingers on the stove bottom, don't ask how. No blood, but what feels like dozens of paper cuts and lots of skin lost.
Still, I have a stove now! YAY!
My father also helped me install two and a half curtain rods (I'm missing a screw for the last one) as well as a coat rack. Yay coat rack!
Today I am going to try to hit as many stores as possible so that I don't have to do it the rest of the week. I'm starting with the appliances (that's the most important thing), moving onto furniture, and then I'm going to hit Canadian Tire (towel racks and a drill, baby!) and maybe FutureShop for a phone. Turns out that having only one telephone doesn't work so well when you live on two floors. *eyeroll*
My exciting discovery of the week is a HUGE clothes closet in the basement! Okay, not huge, but huge by my previous standards. It has shelves and cubbies for shoes and everything! My clothes will practically all fit in there except for socks and underwear. I'm very excited.
Okay. Gotta go get my day started in earnest.
