My Moon My Man
In accordance with my plans, I've been accomplishing a fair bit every night when I get home from work. Monday night I designed my holiday update letter, did the dishes, read, bought the hair dye I need, watched Grey's and read/wrote a little bit. Last night I read for a little over an hour, cooked dinner, applied for five jobs and watched The Nightmare Before Christmas. I've also been knitting at lunch. I have been 365ing faithfully. It makes me feel productive. Accomplished. Tonight I am hoping to tackle the boxes in the basement (consolidate so they can be taken home) and try to come up with some solution to the dresser conundrum.
The Dresser Conundrum: earlier this year, I brought down my childhood dresser so that I could use it while living with Dane. The thought was, eventually, when Mike and I lived together, we would need the dresser and I certainly need the clothing storage at our current house because my closet is ridiculously small. So obviously, I am not moving in with Mike. And it seems plain to me that, since the dresser takes up most of the back of my car (i.e. one whole trip north), I should take it home now, when I am already going home, instead of making two move-specific trips in late February. And the only reason to take the dresser, as opposed to a full car-load of other things, is that the dresser is not an efficient use of my car's space whatsoever, whereas I am a master at effectively packing boxes, backs, etc. And I'd rather have leftover boxes than a leftover dresser.
The conundrum part comes in because if I take the dresser home I'll have no place to keep my clothes until the move. I guess I could just make stacks, but that's ugly and uncouth, and if I buy a plastic set of drawers, doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of bringing that other one down in the first place? Also, the dresser holds quite a bit, so I would have to buy a rather large set of drawers and those run $50 or so - which I do not have right now.
Halp?
Oh fuck it, I'm throwing it all on the floor. I'm too poor for this dilemma.
Ok, so that's on the agenda for tonight, along with reading more, setting up my Roth IRA to automatically deduct, organizing my holiday card/email schedule, not forgetting my stamps tomorrow and probably making something for dinner. I also require another big ass bottle of wine. Because I am working on becoming a wino, along with all of my other goals and aspirations. Oh, and dye my hair! The roots are getting outrageous.
IMPORTANT: What new music should I download? I am craving new things.
