If you don't know, you better call somebody and find out. Fool.
I'm establishing a filing system for all my loose, miscellaneous, semi-important, mess of papers today. It'd be so much easier to simply burn everything. I'm working on it. I've thrown away more than half of the mess. I know, the rain forest. Go hug something, hippies. I'm not recycling a damn thing.
I removed the horrifying wall mirror in my office. Until now, I had compromised and simply hung a blanket over it. I didn't realize I had a horse print comforter. But, I do. That must have been a Christmas present from years back. It was still in the plastic wrap. But enough's enough. I pulled that monstrous wood paneled mirror out of the wall. It's in my bedroom now until I can figure out what to do with it next. I really, really, really hate mirrors. I mean seriously. I hate mirrors. I especially hate half broken and ugly bastardized versions of mirrors like the one I'm dealing with here. Not to mention the overwhelming and infuriating size of the thing. I almost broke it the rest of the way. What the hell was the person who decided that was a necessary addition to this apartment thinking when they came to that conclusion? I sense drug abuse was a factor. I may have to put it in the living room. There aren't many walls that will accommodate something of that ridiculous size. I'm just tired of looking at it. I want to break it, but can't. Wait... I just solved the puzzle. I will hang it in the utility room above the washer and dryer. I won't ever have to look at it there, unless I'm doing laundry. The rest of the time, my chino curtains will hide it along with those appliances and my mop and broom. Perfect. I'm a genius when it comes to home improv. That's not short for improvement, either.
I paid off both of my personal credit cards. Excellent financial progress and more to follow. I'm currently tracking the state of my auto loan. That will take considerable time but I like seeing my slow progress there as well. I'm actually ahead on payments. Yessssss. All my bills are paid and I just purchased enough food to see me through February at least. Life is pretty awesome at the moment. It'll be a cheap Christmas, but I'm in a transitional phase and thrift is my new best friend.
I did the humanitarian thing again this year. Instead of just one, I had several adopted bastard children of the greater Charleston/Huntington areas to find gifts for. I even wrapped the gifts as well. I didn't attend the party though. I had to work and everything was very short notice. Anyway, I'm glad I volunteered my day off for the shopping/wrapping part of the event. I had fun with the rest of management. Plus, it's always fun to spend someone else's money. Although, driving around in the ghetto of Huntington is not my idea of fun. No. But I survived and on zero sleep. That was a deliriously insane day for me. I still haven't made it to Salvation Army or Goodwill with my 3+ totes of clothing donations. I might do that tomorrow when I'm out looking for any deal I can find on new tires.
My sister was stuck on a highway somewhere in the middle of a terrible snow storm. She read a book to pass the time until she was able to drive again. Then Nurse Egg drove into a snowbank and had to be dug out. She is very, very stressed out right now. I know this because she told me she couldn't even count money and she's letting someone else drive her car. Terrible. At least she made it home. I, on the other hand, was delighted to learn that I can not only make it up the steep incline to my apartment but that I can make it back down the same steep decline in my Jeep. I didn't even drive into any of the homes that are positioned absurdly and dangerously only feet from the road. If someone tripped walking out of the front door to one of these houses, they would land in the median. That's disturbing to me. I almost prefer the obscene tower of stairs to this alternative. Anyway, I am very pleased that I don't have to park somewhere and walk home. The lot for my apartment building hasn't been plowed but that's not a problem for my Jeep. I didn't plow or shovel my driveway last year because I didn't have to and I simply refused.
I am starving. I will post again after I've made a little more progress with cleaning and organizing the various rooms of my apartment. And after I figure out what to eat and possibly watch some television as well.
Happy Annual Non-Birth-Related Continued Survival and Humanitarian Celebratory Season of Gift Exchange and Bonding Time to all! Enjoy!
