But dressing up seems to be an issue.
This is the second day in a row that I've gotten dressed, did my morning routine, come to work, take off my jacket and sweater (as I'm warm enough from walking into the building that I normally don't wear my sweater for the first half hour), look down to adjust my keyboard position, and realize I have a noticable stain on my shirt.
No idea how it got there in either case, and in both cases it looks like they were laundered that way, since I only did laundry on Sunday. Yesterday's shirt I have no issue tossing, but today's had a bit of special meaning to me, so this sucks.
Anyone know how to get a darkish stain (no clue what; grease maybe?) out of a burgundy shirt? It's already been laundered once in warm/cold setting.
Also found out there's a reason why they say 'measure first'. I'm trying to rearrange my living room to find a better way to have the stuff in there sitting... so I moved the loveseat back to its original spot, and moved the daybed, which is the heaviest thing in the room, over to where the loveseat was... and realized that left me all of 3' between the two, in the middle of the room. Just a tad cramped. Makes me wish I had CAD, then I could at least try this on the screen first.
Now I'm considering moving the daybed back to where it was by the windows, moving the loveseat across again, and just deal that it'll block an outlet (it's not too tall, so not a huge deal, just inconvenient), and maybe move the table to where the loveseat is? Ugh... will probably again take up too much space... I'm trying to fit too much furniture into that room, but there's nowhere else to put it... the table blocks the living room from the hallway right now, it won't fit by the kitchen window, and the daybed could possibly fit in the spare room, but between it and my computer desk, will eat up the wall with the window.
This is the problem with a 2-bedroom apartment that's apparently only 476 square feet. I measured last week, and was shocked at how small it is.
Bleh. Anyone willing to volunteer to come over and give me a fresh perspective? Long as you're willing to look past the current mess; that'll get cleaned as I go.
