(no subject)
bummed around for a lot of the morning and early afternoon. watched a few episodes of Clean Sweep with my mom, which was helpful for me, and i hope something sunk in for her, too.
had a productive, however ill-boding, conversation with J about the state of things, which has me even closer to the "his loss" state of mind. i think i'm just being stubborn out of a) some small hope that we can get the old "us" back and b) the fact that i swore i wasn't going to be the one to break things off because i wasn't the one who started acting weird.
did a good bit of organizing, including a mini-purge. when Penguin Publishing had their 60th anniversary, they came out with a few series of pocket-size books: American, American children's, British, British children's... it must be a sister company, Phoenix Publishing also came out with a set. so, you have my fetishes for collections, small things and books, plus throw in my taking a trip to London at the time... i had a zillion of these things. there were a few repeats from one side of the pond to the other, not to mention selections from anthologies i already had, plus stuff i just plain wasn't interested in but bought anyway because i was trying to collect every single one. i think i parted with two-fifths of them. of course, while tooting my horn about it to my mother, she decided she wanted to take a look at them. i didn't get my love for books from nowhere lol... or pack-ratting, for that matter. also found a few baskets i could stand to lose, as well as threw out some old makeup.
biggest thing i managed to do, though, was to move out a bunch of boxes and stack them in a way that made more sense. most of it is yard sale crap. also made plans to go to the storage unit tomorrow and add in the boxes of things that were put aside for Steph. he's not moving any time soon, and i need the space, so he said it was all cool. i think i should have this room put together just in time to move out of it.
will be working on my resume this week and beginning the job hunt. just in time to miss my raise at work, i'm sure lol. debating the merits of checking out that studio out of need for sanity versus staying here and socking away money. i know which one i *should* do, but gr.
supposed to go to the mall tomorrow with the 'rents and meeting some of the step-family there. i have a coupon for free undies from VS, plus i need to continue my search for new shoes. could also stand some work pants, but we know how that one's been going. and actually, i need a new bathing suit, so maybe i'll try my luck at ON.
hate this. am physically tired but mentally zooming. and what's been wrong with my sinuses is definitely allergies. i felt great (however still not perfect) when i woke up, got a little worse as the day went but not as bad as at work during the week, and am a little better again now. work makes it worse because i'm trapped in a windowless room with lots of paper and a moldy carpet (because plant ops won't fix the pipe that keeps leaking above us).
ok... i'm going... gotta rest up for the mall lol.
