yuuagoVarious things from the past week:
+ Went for a two-hour walk/run last evening. Very refreshing! This morning I was so tired and sore that I really didn't want to get out of bed, haaa. (I'm fine though. Just have a few minor regrets. xD)
+ Received notice that my living room furniture won't be in until mid-November; I was originally told mid-October. Not a big deal, but it would be nice to have somewhere more comfortable to read than the kitchen table.
+ Made an attempt at Cooking An Elaborate Thing. It did not turn out quite right, but it was edible so whatever. Upside, it did give me some ideas for a more basic dish that uses similar ingredients in a less fussy way, and that will hopefully turn out better. :)b
+ My neighbour has a very cute dog! I saw it twice this past week. :D
+ My mom discovered a bunch more of my books in the basement. This necessitated buying another book case so that I'd have space to put them all. Whoops. At least I had the space for it. Now it's set up, and everything's on the shelves, and none of the shelves on the other cases are double-stacked, so what you see is what you get. Some of those books are probably going to go over to the Little Library once it opens again - but in the meantime they have a place.
+ I got my hair cut! Haven't had it cut since... last November? And it was driving me absolutely insane. Taking hours and hours to dry, too. No bueno. It looks SO much better, and the stylist didn't make a fuss about me wanting to take several inches off, which is a big plus. (I absolutely hate that "Are you SURE?" conversation. It's probably because they've had people get it chopped and then regret it, but... I don't mind. It's just hair, it'll grow back.) My head feels so light now. xD Must admit, it's always flattering, the way stylists gush over the colour - "People pay hundreds of dollars to have hair like this, you know!" Haaa.
+ I have lots of vacation time left! The pandemic had thrown a wrench into everything travel-related! So no Victoria for me this year, but I'm hoping to take some days off in the next month or two... depending on how things go with work. We're kind of slammed right now, and I don't want to check out when it's busy. Going to have to see what the estimated schedule is. :|a (Though, of course, things never ACTUALLY go according to schedule. And you never know when some part of the plant is going to fail and then need emergency maintenance, directing mountains of paperwork toward me.)
+ People are already starting to talk about Christmas shopping and what are you getting so-and-so and do you have a list yet and blah blah blah. Aughh! ...Then again, it's necessary, considering that everything needs to be ordered in and it can take a while even under normal circumstances. Still, I don't want to be thinking about winter yet!
So, that's about it. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Date: 2020-09-28 02:53 am (UTC)I also spent part of my afternoon measuring and mentally rearranging my apartment to figure out how I could fit in another bookcase. I've determined that it's possible, and I'll be buying a new tall billy or hemnes bookcase, as soon as I decide which one and what all else I might want to get from Ikea, and then work myself up to actually order it!
