Time spent
QOTD: "I think being sick has an effect on my behaviour. I'm more goofy, more outgoing, and I smile more. Strange, but this seems to make others want to bash my head in."
Got zero - and I mean zero - packing done yesterday. Not good since yseterday was supposed to be my huge progress day. Instead, I bummed around until noon, unable to force myself to work. Made some lemon pepper baked flounder with yellow rice and peanuts and picked up a change of address packet from the post office. Went by Erik's to get my mailbox key, which I'd left with him so that he could empty my mail every few days since I was expecting to be gone for three weeks and my box barely holds one week compacted. Spent about tweleve hours with Erik, which is probably the most time at once I've spent with him. Did some staff stuff, but I managed to get a bamboo splinter that halted practice. Erik has a formidable tweezer collection. Went to Bed, Bath & Beyond where I was expecting to buy at least one chair, but I got all perfectionistic and decided against it. Erik bought a rug for his bathroom and I gave him the $5 coupon that I'd just gotten in the mail since I wasn't going to be using it on my chair. The coupon and item pricing combined to take much more off the price, so he only spent about 60% what was expected. He bought me a Kahlúa chocolate bar.
We ventured to Wal-Mart where I picked up a mango, some yogurt and a pack of sugar free lifesavers that my dad had found that I liked. Erik was kind enough to accompay me to Backyard Burger, where they were playing Shrek 2 and Harry Potter on a TV/DVD combo unit on a table. The burger made me sick again, but I think I've figured out that there's something on their Blackjack that doesn't do well with me. I remember that I didn't have it last time and 1) I enjoyed it more and 2) I didn't have digestive difficulties. Talked with Erik at his place for a good long while, which was good... It's been a while since I've talked to someone for that long. I rambled about stuff that was of no interest to him more than I would've liked, but that's that. Wish I could've done more staff drills. Was having more fun moving around. I look forward to eventually facing Pyran.
So today is big packing. This place looks a mess, so I guess that's good and bad. Need to find some paper to wrap all of my glassware in. I've collected a disproportionate quantity of glasses given my possessions. But I like glass, so this is a good thing. For now, I must find something to eat so that I may begin this daunting task. Must have the apartment ready to vacate in about six hours so that I can just come back in two weeks and move it all. None of this incomplete business. I'm not really seeing that plan fall into place, but I guess I should try.
