when housemate moved out early with a couple hours’ warning, he left his bed which i told him not to leave and his ugly ugly lamp which i told him not to leave and a pile of other things he didn’t really ask me about.
wednesday of last week i called the dump and scheduled a bulk/junk pick up. unfortunately they don’t take “recyclable” things. not thing for recycling, but things goodwillish companies would take, so i still have the ugly ugly lamp no one wants but the bed is finally gone and i have my living room back! hooray!
today i clean up the last of the other things he left, take the u.u. lamp and some other u.u. candle holder glass plate thing with angles (dude, really, even in my brief ‘angels are so pretty’ stage i would have believed this to be ugly) and a couple blankets to out of the closet. i’ll treat myself to a nice lunch at deboce park cafe, return star’s saver from last night, then come home and move back into my living room!
but that’s not all. there’s even more news from the first level of maslow’s hierarchy.
mom retired friday! she’ll work through the end of the month, then some time in mid january she’ll fly out here and help me find a place to live. a nice, warm, clean place to live. which will be all my own. well, mine and the bank’s. at least, that’s the plan. we’ll see what really happens.
i don’t really enjoy cleaning, especially when it’s so cold in the basement here that all i want to do is curl up under the covers and read, but i know the whole place will feel better once i get to spread out again.
