My apartment is packed with 30 minutes to spare.

Now to move the sofa and chair to make sure there's nothing underneath them.

I am reading The Sentinel fanfiction, which I don't think I can recommend as a whole since most authors seem to think that if the main characters have sex, puppies and rainbows follow them ever afterwards and all of life's problems are fixed.

To celebrate, I will be an adult and do stuff like deposit money in my IRA account and CLEAN ALL THE THINGSOr I would if my investment place wouldn't change how they accept payment EVERY FUCKING YEAR.
