Pearls of Wisdom:
-I am definitely going to take a course on time management... just as soon as I can work it into my schedule. - Louis E. Boone

So, there's something going on on Saturday. I know this because I was trying to plan when I was going to Comfest (which I've never been too even though I've lived here for 30+ years now) and for some reason, Sunday was the day I could go. I have something happening Friday evening and at some point on Saturday. However, I never wrote down what was going on on Saturday so I have no clue what it is.

Let this be a lesson to you people! Don't be like me! Keep a small calendar with you at all times and then transfer the information to a desk calendar at home. Argh.

It seems I have a lot of "out of town" activity going on. I went out of town to visit friends and then, yesterday, a friend came and visited me. I just got a note from another friend that she'll be in town this weekend and wants to visit. (Maybe it's good that I'm forgetting whatever it is on Saturday.) This means, to balance it out, I need to schedule another trip out of town. I'm hearing the call of tree ripened peaches from the shores of Lake Erie. That might be an option. Plus a potential visit to my old internship and a canoe trip. (One that I know I can afford with or without passengers.)

I just packed up 99.5% of what was on my "school" book shelf. It's such a relief to have that stuff put away. It's been scattered since about mid-spring quarter. I now just need to finish filling one more box and get them all downstairs. I also have one big tote that used to be my costume box. I got rid of all my costumes so now it can be filled with other things. I'm going to pack all my knick-knacks from around the room. I think this will include jewelry. Maybe.

I like the placement of my bed in my current arrangement since it protects me from a lot of the noise that was messing with my sleep cycle but my room now feel extra claustrophobic. I never intended for either of my bookshelves to be in my bedroom. Just the bed, desk, sewing station, and sewing chair. Anyway, I'm kinda falling back in to the active hating of my bedroom. Perhaps I've never fallen out of hate with it. I've never liked it.

My closet is jammed with stuff because there is no other place for me to store it. I could store stuff in the laundry closet as we have no washer and dryer but my brother keeps his laundry basket in the middle of the floor and his clothes spill over and cover everything. I have to figure out a better way of storing this stuff. What your closet looks like is a good indication of what your life is really like. Right now, my closet is an absolute mess with no room hardly for the clothing in it. I have dresses and long dress pants hanging on one side, in the middle is some plastic drawers that I use for a dresser, on the other side is my shirts and under them is my "shoe square" that has shoes and yarn. The current setup is completely inadequate. My space is just too damned small while my brother gets to spread out all over the damned place. Another argh here.

Cannot wait to move. It is absolutely absurd that I let myself believe that I had no other options last year when I wanted to move out. I've been so unhappy here from the start. I have remained unhappy with my living situation the whole time. (Except for when I wasn't living here last summer.)

Whoa. I just realized that I left a big ol' rant here. Hmm... Oh well, it's how I feel. I have to stop smothering how I feel to maintain everyone else's happiness. However, I'm stuck here until mid August at the earliest so I'll have to do the best I can with what I have. I will also have to plan carefully what I want and how much it'll be for the future. So would like to afford a storage unit right now. I dunno, maybe I could but is it worth the time and effort at this juncture?

Okay, time to go back to the bedroom. I think I'm done packing for the night but there's books to read and people to call! Woo!

Oh, wait....I think I'm going to go dumpster diving behind the greenhouses at school. I need one more big pot. Oh...and dirt. Well, free pot is good right? (Not the drug thank you though it's a gorgeous plant.)
