(no subject)
Today was a big day without much homework in it. Dammit.
On the other hand... it was a day in which we slept in, and did many loads of laundry, and got rid of many pieces of furniture (via craigslist), and did some awesome Christmas shopping (homemade gifts, coming soon), and took care of a bunch of house stuff. House stuff which includes Alex making a giant homemade kitty tree extension out of plumbing pipe and twine. I love that man.
I've been trying really hard not only to keep this place relatively clean but also to perhaps put a little more love into it. I don't have the energy or the money to "decorate" exactly, but just re-hanging some photos and putting up some mirrors where our "headboard" should be (if we had a decent bed, heh) and stuff like that.
We recently inherited an old (but awesome) dining room set. I'm so excited to have A) a table that doesn't require a tablecloth (our old one was unfinished and horribly stained) and B) chairs that match said table. It came from a smoker's home, but luckily we still have a huge amount of upholstery fabric that was originally intended to be a slipcover for a shitty old sofa that we got rid of (thank God, I hated that thing.) As part of the Christmas shopping trip I bought some foam so I can completely replace everything on these chairs and have them not smell. And yay Christmas because it was a 50% off pre-Christmas sale. Good thing - foam is fucking expensive! The thickness I wanted was $43 per metre regular price! WTF? (Given, this is Fabricland, where everything is overpriced and then they have an "OMG! 50% off everything!" sale about once every month or two. But I digress.) So I went with something thinner, needless to say.
Anyway. I'm actually halfway to being ready for my first midterm, so hopefully tomorrow I'll get that done. Well, not hopefully, I will. I'm actually really glad this course is going to go by so quickly. I can't wait to just enjoy my spare time again. And do crafts. I miss crafts :D
