Entropy Day

Jun 06, 2019 22:55


Woke up at 9 AM. I could have slept longer too. I should have caught up on my sleep with 11 hours though.

The lawn mowing guy picked up the money for this month.

Put away clean clothes from the drying rack and put new wet clothes on it. The only down side to the drying rack is having it in the middle of my kitchen.

Well, hell. Apparently one of my car's tires was flat, and I didn't notice, and the tire fell apart. The other library worker offered to change the tire, but he couldn't get the tire off, which made me feel better because I can't get tires off. I called Roadside Assistance and got the spare put on, but I can't afford to replace the tire until next month. I guess that I'll walk to work if it isn't raining. Am I weird that I kind of enjoy the problem solving when there's a problem? Maybe it's residual project management skills bubbling up.

I bought Trevor Noah's book Born a Crime for the library. It looks fascinating. There are a bunch of books that I bought that I want to check out, but I didn't buy them for myself, honest.

My phone and work laptop have been acting weird also. I guess that it's entropy day.

I've been looking at used entertainment centers, although I won't be able to afford one for at least a couple of months. I have one that I got from Ikea, but one of the drawers has fallen apart. I want a big old wooden tank of an entertainment center that would be able to handle moving. My old Ikea dresser fell apart after one too many moves as well, and I replaced it with a big old used wooden dresser that won't self-destruct.

I went and got a backpack out of storage to use when I walk to work.

I'm continually amazed at how fast my clothes dry on the drying rack. That's an easy way to save money. I also bumped up the thermostat a little. If I was really trying to be super-frugal, I'd turn the a/c off, but I don't want to go there.

I think that I'll do a few chores, pack my lunch, and then crash. I need to get going early if I'm going to walk.
