Back to Busy-ness

Ready to Go

So I got my new desk chair today. Which has pretty much been the highlight of the day. I actually got a lot more done today than I did yesterday... but the breather definately helped. I got up rarin to go this mornin. Got a lotta chores done that were neglected in the chaos of the last few weeks (including my poor plants).

Checkin Out the Digs

Then went out with Mom to run errands, find a new chair, and check out the duplexes I'm lookin into. She wanted to see them in the daylight, seeing as it will be past nightfall after work when we meet the duplex manager to morrow. They looked very nice... in a pleasant little neighborhood. It's just a few miles away from where I am now... and possibly even outside the city limits, which would explain why the rent is so low with the absence of property taxes. Now, as long as everything looks as good on the INside, and they decide my credit isn't in TOO bad of shape (and my sordid criminal record has been sufficiently supressed), then a move is lookin like a definite probability.

Thanksgiving Preps

We also ran by the grocery store to pick up a last few things for Thanksgiving Dinner. I'd told her I'd be willing to help out with the cooking, so she's putting me to work on some Garlic and Basil Mashed Potatoes. I may even try a dessert of some sort, as well... but still need to talk to her about what she wants.

More Assembly

Amway, we just got done a li'l while ago, so I ran back home to put the chair together... of course. It's great. It's not fancy or anything, but it's adjustable and has lumbar support. That's pretty much all I care about... in fact the lumbar support was a bonus. The only problem is: the thing stinks with that "new-synthetic" smell. So I'm keepin the library window open for a while. It's pretty nippy out (in fact, a good many trees have already "phumped", leaving big pretty blankets of their entire arsenal of colorful leaves around them) but with the library door closed, the temperature in this room usually doesn't affect the temp in the rest of the apartment. So I shouldn't have to worry about the furnace comin on just to heat all of the outdoors.

Emergency Laundry

Welp, I'm headin over to the folks' place (again) a li'l early for supper, cuz somebody here in the apartment building left their laundry in the dryer all day, so I couldn't run any loads. I'm only in dire need of one load of laundry getting clean, so Mom agreed to let me bring it over to their place to borrow their machines. So I'll get that started, and hopefully mostly out of the way by time we're ready for dinner.

So I'll leave it at that for today. This chair really is quite comfortable, BTW... just thought I'd mention that again. MUCH better than balancing on four cushions to get halfway up to where I need to sit... lol
