Phone Call Day
I left some lights on for Zara so that she doesn’t wake me up meowing.
I woke up at 5 AM. I ordered some more hangers because getting my clothes together is my first project. I went back to sleep for a couple of hours.
Well, crud. My clothes in the dryer are still damp. I guess that I’ll take a shower during lunch.
I need to pick up some bleach to wash the loveseat cover. White looks good with the rose paint, so I’m thinking of keeping the white cover. And it’s cheaper. I’m looking at white curtains. Silver also looks good, so I think that I will get silver drum tables.
White also looks good with the blue paint upstairs, so I’m thinking of a white desk and white bookcases.
The plants that I put in the kitchen look happy. They’re the plants that I thought of for the bathroom, but I want to leave the bathroom blinds closed. I also want a couple of spider plants to hang over the sink.
I forgot to turn off the lights in the basement yesterday. Apparently they put the boxes in the room for my exercise equipment, which wasn’t what I had in mind. Oh well. I want to unbury the rowing machine. I also need to get the treadmill, which is upstairs, set up. The power cord and emergency key are in a box somewhere, so I wrote the company to see if I can order them. I need to use the treadmill to prepare for the Italy trip.
I’m waiting for the clothes to finish drying so that I can check that they’re actually dry. Nope. I need an appliance repair person.
Damn, I'm tired. I think that it'll take a few days to recover from the move.
I got my Ramen and frozen yogurt delivered. I think that I'll have Ramen for lunch to soothe my throat. I did and had frozen yogurt too. It went down well.
I hung some clothes up to dry in my “warm” bathroom so that I’ll have them for tomorrow. I guess that it’s pajama day today.
I found some bookcases that I like for the upstairs. They have to be short because of the attic roof.
I wasn’t able to nap. Mimi and I shared body heat though.
I’m going to wait to get rid of the mattress until after I get the dryer fixed because I don’t know how much it’ll cost. I have an appointment for the dryer on Friday morning.
For some reason, all the updates that I did on my work computer did not get saved. I got squared away with the organizer. She has my new address and I paid her. We'll meet next week. I ordered a new filing cabinet and supplies, which will arrive the last day of my organizing appointments. I guess that day will be the paper-handling day.
I asked my dad if he thought that he would come to Illinois and see my house. He said that it was "unlikely" because it's a long trip. (They drive.) I told him that I bought some Web cams, but that I'd need an electrician to install them, so I don't know when that will happen.
I put the new Brooklinen sheets on the bed and wrestled the duvet cover on the comforter. I thought that I also had black pillowcases and pillows, but I’m not sure where they are. Oh! They are wonderful to lie on.
Got my writing/studying desk set up and I really like it. I'll use the gray drawers to keep stamps, pens, batteries, etc. in.
Got most of my empty boxes out for recycling. I met another neighbor, who was thrilled that I bought the house. Apparently, it was a rental for a long time.
Tried to nap but couldn’t sleep. I have a headache and body ache. I’m going to take my nighttime meds and then go to sleep.
