Lookit me, being all posty ;)
Aug. 3rd, 2011 08:02 pmThree days in a row, holy cow!
I am reconciled to not buying the pretty house. The more I thought about that train yard, the less enamoured I got of the idea of living there. I mean, there was a big old CN truck parked in front of my house with a loudspeaker on it. Not fun. I can't see myself living with that five days out of the week for years. Also, the resale value is crap. Not that I'm buying a house in order to sell it again, but it's something I have to keep in mind, since the odds are good that I will move again in my lifetime.
Today got sacrificed to the Migraine Fairy, alas. There was no house hunting planned, and no announced visits to the building either, so at least I was able to sleep unmolested. I took my pills, went back to bed with an ice pack, and three hours later I am better. That was my body's way of telling me that I've been burning the candle at both ends a little too much this week. House hunting on night shift and having people come by means I'm not getting nearly enough sleep.
So today is my day off. Completely. Sleep and food and relaxing is all that's on the menu.
Tomorrow there will be errands and more looking at houses, and Friday I go back to work.
Isn't my life exciting?
Actually, on a related note, I am hoping next week to start a major de-clutter of the place. I need to get rid of a bunch of stuff before I move, including things I haven't used in months/years. I also have paper clutter piling up in all sorts of places. The apartment is functional, and is tidy enough that I feel okay letting people in, but it's not nearly as tidy as I would like it to be.
I also need to roll up my sleeves and tackle the Amazon Rainforest that's grown up in the back yard. It's really appalling, since I haven't had much of a chance to get out there this summer.
:::ETA::: I forgot to click "post." Aren't I clever?
Hey, what do you guys do with old Christmas and birthday cards? I seem to hang onto mine forever, because people have said nice things to me in them. Except that over the years I've accumulated a LOT of them, and I should probably find another use for all that space, but I feel like I'm being a horrible, ungrateful person throwing away the lovely cards people have written. *facepalm*
