Break

a tea break. I got this Twinings brand called Prince of Wales. It's a light combo of black teas. it's pretty smooth actually, there's no bitter aftertaste, yet. *grins* Actually, since I've been coming back and forth to the computer, this is the perfect tea for a wedge of lemon. or a lump of sugar, just to give it a bit of a taste of something else, not that the tea is bad, it's GOOD. I can just imagine it with the undertaste of lemon. Mmm MMMM Good.

Anyway, list of stuff.

- I am WITHOUT afternoon/evening pain for the first time in a week. Yay!

- I've done a 3/4 good job on cleaning the kitchen. Hell, at least most of the gunk is off the stove. I need steel wool for the rest of it. I wasn't about to scrub the thing when the rest of the kitchen was calling. Honestly, it's another room that needs a good scrubbing. I don't understand it, it's not like it gets USED at all! Sheesh. Anyway, I can tolerate the cooking surfaces now. We need to get rid of the PILE of cups, I need to talk to the Unit about that.

- I did a half assed job on the bathroom *grins* The main point of ick - the toilet - is done and you could almost eat off it/in it. The shower needs work, again, I don't understand how it gets that nasty. AND I don't know how my mother tolerates it! You'd think all BOYS lived here, seriously.

- The clutter is seriously getting to me. Honestly, I AM rearranging my room. I have to. I can't fathom keeping it this way, although I REALLY want my bed to stay in the same place. Maybe if I pulled it away from the wall a bit. *sigh* Of course, it's BAD Feng Shui, as currently, I sleep with my back to the door, the new setup has me facing the door (I sleep on my right side. The current bed setup has my back to the door, the new one has the bed next to the door on the opposite wall, away from the wall, so my face faces the door. Actually, is THAT good? I thought it was, to face the door and allow flow. Hmmmmm.)
*another break while I went off on the Internet, finding nothing helpful at Feng Shuo sites *sighs**

- I'd love to continue tonight, but I'm sweaty in a bad way, and I just don't feel like it. Let's hope noone shows up and tried to sit on my dishes, which is on a chair in the living room. I still need to get to the storage unit, but I can do it tomorrow. Marc IS coming over, whether he likes it or not. I'm rearranging this room, if I have to kill him to do it! Let's hope I'm not needed elsewhere, because I have too much to do.

- I went shopping tonight, even tho I wasn't hungry, in fact I felt a bit crappy thanks to iffy McDonalds. Seriously, I think I'm done' with McD's burgers, they just don't do it for me anymore. I bought a baby green bagged salad, and put Parmesan cheese and pickles in it (Hey I have what I have, sur me) It was pretty damn spiffy. I got some ice cream and little cupcakes, to satisfy the sweet tooth that's rearing it's evil head for the first time in two weeks. Hey, I've been miserable. Let me have some mini cupcakes! *grins*

- I haven't mentioned the job yet. Can I say SUCK! SIX hours! Mostly of me sitting around waiting for THEM to help me, even tho I TOLD them I needed them available. Oh we have meetings, we're off to lunch (TWO AND A HALF HOURS!) One of them was making a photocopy for me and LEFT, so I couldn't ask her for any more. She left the check on the copier for Gawd's sake. they're VERY disorganized, and I'm feeling the strain. Not everything is done and they're saying "It's fine." Well it's NOT fine for me. THEN I say I can't come in next week "WHAT??! WHAT do you MEAN???" Did I stutter? What do you care, I'm in for two hours and you're so ADD you can't settle long enough to answer a simple question so I sit around doing NOTHING!

ARGH!
*ahem*
I hate ADD clients. Or maybe, I'm just spoiled. I have one client where everything is in folders. The bills are in one folder, the backup in another. The invoices are in their own folder, and I have a pattern I follow, for business and her personal stuff. I LOVE her. I'm going to grieve when she sells her business. hey, if anyone is looking to buy a business, she's a small editor/publisher who edits school workbooks. It's boring, but lucrative. (now if only she wasn't Batty! She's great, but Strange, and this is MY level of strange!)

Anyway. I think I'm ready to not be sitting here anymore. I need to move my car, straighten up a bit, and think about going to bed. I will NOT get up early tomorrow - woe to thee who wakes me, except I can't shut my phone off in case I'm needed. Bleh.
*pouts* I wanna sleep and when I wake up it's all clean. where are MY five gay guys to do this for me, and take me shopping and buy me Ferrigamo pumps. *pouts*

Maybe I should cut out the tea *grins* It makes me maudlin.
I know - Chocolate! Wheeee!

Let's just put it this way

if a certain bitch, who owes me favors galore AND money, doesn't call me soon, since he got out of work at 2, supposedly, his ass is GRASS.

I need to check my balance, deposit a check, shop for a hat, start mass clearing out my room, pack some things in boxes, put together my other set of drawers, contemplate getting another set of cubes, and get some work done sometime today or tomorrow.

I REALLY needed yesterday off, since I don't have tomorrow off. *sighs*

Oh, and I need to eat. Hmmm, food. Man cannot live on pickles alone.
well, I can't anyway.

Right up and off.

well

it looks like rearranging my room isn't going to happen, at least not THIS weekend.
Why?

- I need a hat for tomorrow. Burlington was SCARY, it was all elderly black lady hats, which, actually was what I was looking for, except I'm not paying FIFTY BUCKS for it! They had an OK purple one, which was $30 *Meep* but it was too big. Jeez, that's sick, charging $50 for a hat. So I beat feet to the thrift store, where some older fat guy crowded me in an aisle, and I slipped on a hanger, just for sec to look up and see him reaching to "help" me. Gross! They also had NO hats, which I'm shocked at. So, I have to go back out, AFTER sundown, it's WAY too warm and there's WAY too many dumbasses out right now, to head over to Building 19 to see if they still have any of the hats they had a couple of weeks ago. I may also have to attack Xmas Tree Shops.

- I need to clean the stuff into boxes. This WILL be done but....

- Bitch never called/hasn't shown up. Not as of yet anyway. So I should have to move the bookcases, and the queen size bed Myself. Can't be done. Just can't. I need at least one extra body. *sighs*

- My final Ceres DVD's arrived today. One of the episodes waiting me is entitled "Tooya's Death." So you can see what I"LL be doing later on!

Dammit. *sighs*

Can I tell you

how SICK I am of my mailbox filling with emails regarding Dragoncon and how much it either sucked, or didn't suck, or YOU suck for thinking it sucked. there's a couple of people especially who rate HIGH on my squick Richter scale. *sighs* I could just unsubscribe till it settles down. I delete all this stuff anyway. I really need to start cleaning my mailbox folders out.

I'm thinking about wearing my black hat, whose previous owner has told me not to mention her in my journal again on Pain of Pout! *smirks* So, anyway, I may wear my big 80's hat tomorrow, and save the money on a new hat. It's not quite "Victorian" tho. *sigh* Maybe I'll take that ride, around 8. I can get stuff done in an hour.

Step one - get that bookcase cleaned off, to turn it the right way. Part of my issues is a wrongly turned, FULL, bookcase, some of the books I do NOT need on there anymore. Thinking about ditching some of the textbooks, and throwing OUT the CPA exam materials. To retake it at this point, I need all new stuff. I haven't touched them in years. I want the room for stuff I use.

Repeat Mantra - Stuff I use.

I'm not letting myself watch Ceres until I make the room OK, and get stuff from the living room/other bedroom back into my room. So, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, starring Fabio *grins* it is.

*sighs*

The clutter is mostly back. Now with an added piece of furniture, I put together the other cube, and now have a loverly nightstand/set of drawers. in a spot next to the door, guaranteed to break my foot if it stays there.

Two BIG fuck you's to shout out.
- To my little bitch, who deliberately didn't call me today. Next time you need a favor, actually the next SEVERAL times you need a favor, I'm going to say "Hmmm, let me think about it.....NO! Here, let me say it again.............NO! *maniacal laughter* That's going to feel good.
- To my neighbor who has NOT BEEN in this building anywhere near as long as I have for screaming "STOP BANGING" as I was trying to finish putting in the guides for the drawers. Or, perhaps my "FUCK OFF I"LL BANG IF I WANT TO!" did that. *evil grin* OK, it's 10:30, I forgot about the banging part. And I DID have the door open. I was trying to finish quick, and I KNOW it's the neighbor who FIGHTS WITH HER HUSBAND ALL THE TIME. At top volume. Who has given my mother shit for GETTING OUT OF BED, since it disturbs them. Maybe next time they're fighting, I'll just call the cops instead of ignoring them. or perhaps, they should get a life. _I_ have one, I just chose to spend tonight organizing. *Nyah*

*sighs*
*looks around*
I honestly just maneuvered the junk. I DID put some out. I have a lot of sale stuff within reach. I'm going to start putting a bit up at a time each night I'm home. Maybe I'll try Half.com along with Amazon this time. Plus I need to make a list of the SciFi. *sighs* I should order the cataloging software. I think I can afford it right now. It comes with a scanner. Last time I looked at it, I didn't have the cable modem. I can use the storage that comes with the cable to store my list online and start directing people to it. And I have to take pictures of things for VelvetGarden, I love that whole setup. The first things to go - Tink's boots that depress me because they don't fit. I want a certain price firm tho. I'll pop em up here in case any of my friends want them.

I'm getting rid of some stuff, I packed up other stuff. If I can drive a couple of boxes to the storage unit once a week, and take some stuff to Goodwill once a week, I COULD have the clutter cut down, fairly soon. Then start working on doing more organizing. And then FINALLY Move the room around, at some point.

One thing I need - A 45's case. For ones with sleeves. Anyone have anything they use for this? I don't really want to get rid of any of them. Maybe Bret can look through them, take some of them. I need to look at what I have first.

I'm done for the night. The thing that upsets me is the remaining boxes and chair in my mother's room. I don't have the ability to deal with it today. I'm hoping I get home at a reasonable hour tomorrow, to clean. *sighs* I wish I didn't have to do this tomorrow. I'll be bored and fretful, since I have stuff to do at home.

I didn't go shopping for a hat. I did laundry. I took my horse pill (thank the gods there's only one left!) I arranged my crap, I need to adjust my bedding, then I'm going to watch me some Ceres. Dammit.

*sighs* I have so many ideas for this room. I just need the TIME to do it. I have to start moving stuff OUT, finally delivering things I bought for others, selling or donating what I don't want, and just doing. It's HARD, but if I want London this has to happen, and soon.

I swear if anyone gives me crap on Monday at work, I'll turn around and walk out.

I need to go move my car, get my laundry. and make sure I've got everything back in my room I can move tonight.

*kicks my little bitch*
