X-mas is coming up. Unfortunately. Holidays are way too commercialized and over-rated. I still participate in giving on Christmas, I feel strange when people give me things and I have nothing in return. Not like I have much money to put forth XP Skyler and I are splitting a bunch of things between us, he can't afford much either since he moved out. One of my least favorite things about the holidays is the decorations, they disgust me. The night is so light with all the flashy things people consider beautiful. Light pollution spikes around x-mas and it drives me nuts.
My room is now finished, and the bathroom down here is mine. I am happy to say that everything turned out well. Once this room was cleaned up (and 'girlified' as Marc so bluntly puts it) it's not half as bad. It actually looks as if a human lives here. The only thing left is to replace the door and do something with the floor (be it painting it or putting tiles down). I can't put carpet down because its too much on my allergies (dust and animal dander). Since we have pets, it's hard enough on my allergies. My allergies have been getting worse and vacuuming doesn't seem to do much. So the problem is solved by not having carpets in my room. I have two throw rugs that I can just toss in the washer when they need cleaning, and that works. Someday when I have the money, I'm going to get a new bed set, the whole jungle theme is a little old. All in all, it turned out quite well. Better than anyone expected.
