Tentative Plans for Practical Stuff I Need/Want To Get Done
I'm in a position that I can drop a lot of money to get air conditioning, or I can do a bunch of other smaller things and still have a lot of money in the bank. That's a pretty easy choice, so here are some of the smaller things I intend to get done in the near future.
1. Purchase a new mattress / bed frame. I've been sleeping on the floor since my ex moved her bed frame out, and it's getting old, plus the mattress is ten years old anyway. As a bonus, moving the old mattress into the guest bedroom will give me real mattresses for four guests, plus a futon, which is good since I have six adults and two kids invited for Thanksgiving already.
2. Get a will and living will made. Time to pretend to be a grown up in some small way. Go get yours done too.
3. Fix the bumper of my car.
4. Get power locks installed in my car. Due to dating, the number of people riding in my car has risen enough to make the lack an annoyance.
5. Fix the alarm system shorted out by water damage. I just realized that the fire alarms went with it, so that's a problem.
6. Get assorted minor electrical work done, including ceiling fans in the guest bedrooms, replacing the screwed up light fixture and outlet in the bathroom, installing outlets in the garage so that the garage door openers aren't running off of extension cords, etc.
7. Buy a new dining room table. I realize that given my lack of sofas and other places to sit it's weird to prioritize a dining room table, but I use my table all the time and I am fed up with it.
8. Get things framed. I have a few things ready to go.
Of course, given how long it took to cross items off my last list, perhaps I shouldn't hold my breathe.
