yuuagoMan, if I never hear someone say "You need to-" again, it'll be too soon. I'm so sick of people telling me what to do! Especially when I know that these are things I need to do! And I have plans to do them, and have plotted out when and how, it's just that I haven't told those plans to anyone else, because they're not the one who needs to do these things!
Yes, yes, I need to finish packing, and I need to buy groceries (and a coffee maker), and I need to make a decision about which living room furniture to order. This isn't rocket science!
On a positive note: The painter finished my apartment, and it looks great. Damn, I wish I knew somebody in the area who's looking to get their walls painted, because I'd recommend this guy without question. Anyway, the new walls are a very clean sky blue colour, with crisp white trim. Much better than the coffee-coloured walls that were there before. Dude, why. And in a north-facing apartment? At this latitude? Double why!
The movers are coming for my bedroom furniture + boxes and bins on the 15th! I'm moving in on that day!
I'm also theoretically getting my internet installed that day. Except, uh, I... have to do it myself? Like, the Shaw guy comes around with a kit, and then I set it up on my own. I don't know. Something tells me there is a chance that this is a Project that will not be finished on the afternoon of the 15th. At least, if my effort to install my mom's cable box is any indication. (Yes, yes, DIY internet installation != DIY cable box setup. And to be fair it actually turned out that there was something wrong with that cable box, which is why nothing worked when I tried to set it up. But, still. It's fiddling around with unfamiliar electronic equipment and ugh I don't wanna.)
I'm too busy to get excited about all this. I'll have time to get excited about it when everything is done!

Aaaahhhhhhh, so soon! \o/ I'm so excited for you! Good luck with the internet installation. ♥

Date: 2020-09-12 09:15 am (UTC)... but I can't help getting second-hand excitement just from reading about the process of moving, eeee! Good luck

Date: 2020-09-12 06:07 pm (UTC)I have had that in a flat, something like 10 years ago. I assume that it had been "fashion" at some point but still don't understand why wanting to make a room darker.
Anyway, things are going so fast ! Soon you'll give news from your new place ! I'm glad for you :)
