Groundhog Day 2016

Posted on by bangscrafts

Today was a good day.  I had my 90 day review at my job, and came out pretty shiny.  I didn’t have a hugely busy day besides that.  I worked out and felt strong.  I finally ate my chowder and it was delicious.

Getting home was even more productive.  I did all the things I planned to do today.  I put away the last two boxes.  I swept, I dusted, I tidied.  I cleared away all my mountainous paperwork.  I organized my overload books.   I swiffered up the salt-floor.  I emptied the dishwasher.  I hand-washed all the dishes in the sink.  And I deep cleaned the stove top.

Meanwhile I watched The Neverending Story Part II….which I haven’t seen in about 15 years, and it’s pretty awful.

How funny is it to be cleaning your stove and realize you’re exactly fulfilling your nightly plans.  I am an adult!

Good news is, I didn’t do it for approximately 34 years in a time loop.  And early Spring for us all!  Happy Groundhog Day!

Today was devoted to unboxing, or so I said upon my waking.  Yesterday was only for finding a TV cabinet, and I did so.  So kismet is on my side, and I really want to unpack this place.

I placed my DVDs in my new TV cabinet.  I also watched a couple episodes of Friends, again, when that was not at all the plan for today.  Watching 20-somethings in the 90s be irresponsible makes me feel really great for being pretty responsible for 25 in 2015.  Ross says “you know, you reach a certain age where you’ve out grown a roommate…” and the whole ensemble looks at him glaringly.  It may be the only moment where I agree with Ross, but I really don’t want to live with some random person. And I’m not!

Today was made of good decisions, and I felt bored.  I rearranged the underlings of kitchen sink.  (My ceiling leaked this morning too, but that is a transient situation.)

Kitchen sink

Cascade.  Bounty.  Swiffer.  Fire extinguisher.  Me in my “Pirate Ride” Cedar Point T-shirt I got for Christmas two years ago.  I’m pretty much the biggest nerd.

I have made room for a table and more than one chair in my new apartment, now.  I know you’re jealous.  I am in disbelief still.
