Last book haul before moving

Posted on by Shawshank

First things first – I’m terribly sorry about the complete lack of bookish posts here. I’ve been working my way through the full series of Downton Abbey. And preparing to move. I’ll be moving in about 2 weeks.

But I did go into SlightlyBiggerTown today, just to get some odds and ends for The Flat. With that, I visited the second hand store, and hit the motherload. 3 Stephen King books in one place!

And, just so you know, they’re already packed. I think I’ll need one or two boxes more and I’ll have all my books packed. Crazy, since when I got here in June, I only had 7 books.

Until next time, book nerds!

This morning I was up and out before the coffee finished brewing. BossLady hates and is fighting technology. We use Google Calendar to try and push the shop into at least the year 2007. Last night while I was video chatting with Crystal, she texted asking me to walk to the shop in the am because she has a consultation this morning, but the calendar was empty.

So I walked down and got all the info and trucked it on back home. It’s coffee time.

COFFEE TIME!

Today, for a hot minute I’ll be heading to SlightlyBiggerTown. I want to hit up the dollar store to pick up some incidentals for The Flat. Then it’ll be time for lunch then back to the house to watch an episode of Sherlock with mom. I think we have 4 or 5 episodes left. Even after I move, I’ll come back to finish up the series with her. She really really loves it.

But for now, coffee and morning news. Have a great Monday!

Good morning all you morning people. I am not a morning person. The coffee is brewing, and I woke up with a headache this fine, but slightly chilly morning.

I started to pack last night. Not a lot. Just the clothes that were hanging in the closet. I quickly thought, then dismissed packing some of my moms hangers. I took them to the laundry room.

I’m slowly starting to prepare for the move. The heaviest will be my books. I’ll have to split them in to multiple boxes. I figure ( and I always get the guesstimating wrong when it comes to moving), that I should pretty much have everything moved in on the first.

I have the internet appointment for the first. It’s an “all day” appointment. Meaning 8-5. Thankfully this town is so small, I can be back at The Flat in literally 2 minutes by car. To watch the technician do the install.

I plan on having everything moved over Friday, minus the bed frame. You need to have studied at MIT to take it a part, so I’ll leave that for Saturday, when my dad is off work to disassemble and reassemble for me.

Wow, I was a talkative person, considering I’m not a morning person! Have a great Sunday everyone!

If that’s your best, your best won’t do

Awake. Slept all the way through the night. The sun is rising, and the coffee is brewing. I’m almost ready to greet the day

Hello sunshine! The earth says hello!

I only remember 1 dreams and it was right before my alarm went off – I dropped my phone and the screen was cracked. Then I woke up.

If that’s what constitutes a nightmare nowadays, I’ll take it.

Crystal got to Florida, and got the wire. Yay! But the coffee is ready, and it’s been a long week. I need this coffee to power my day. Have a great Saturday all.

I’m awake! It’s Friyay! Crystal is on the final leg of her journey. I’m mostly awake, and trying to formulate sentences. I’m trying!

The house sold yesterday afternoon. Sometime in the near future Crystal will receive a lot of money via a wire into her account. They verified the amount with me.

I don’t really have a lot to talk about today. Maybe it’s Beschusses I’m still partly asleep. I dunno, so maybe I’ll leave it right here.

Have a great weekend everyone!
