2009 01 31

in new york, at my mom’s. there are a couple of boxes that are missing, which i find baffling. my slippers are also missing, which i find baffling. my feet are freezing. the missing box is stressing me the heck out.
special treat for supper tonight: pizza.
i am tired and anxious, but it feels so [...]

exhausted and cranky, but safely in new jersey.

2009 01 29 (dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city)

you know, i always thought of myself as someone who travels light. this appears to be completely untrue right now. although… i guess it says something that every single worldly possession i have fits into my dad’s van. idek.
the car needs a new radiator, and a bunch of other stuff. it is going to cost [...]

2009 01 28 (oh my god, i can’t believe it, i’ve never been this far away from home)

OKAY SERIOUSLY MY CAR IS BROKEN. i drove it on monday and it was fine. today i went to move it so my dad could park in my spot (right in front of the building), and we discovered that it is leaking green fluid and something is hanging from the middle of the undercarriage.
i called [...]

2009 01 27 (oh my god, i can’t believe it, i’ve never been this far away from home)

i have been listening to the same song all day. at one point there was an hour or so where it was the only song i listened to. that was the hour when i was cleaning the bathroom, i think.
i’ve sort of given up cleaning the rest of everything. i just want my dad to [...]

2009 01 26 (dear gravity)

my dad is leaving new jersey tomorrow morning, and he’ll be here wednesday afternoon. i am not sure what to do about knitting night, but i’ll probably end up bringing him to supper afterward.
even though i have the heat up to 70, i am freezing. this is a change from when the heat was down [...]

COUCH. tammie is going to come over tonight to help me drag it out of the apartment and over to the dumpster. earlier i tried [...]

2009 01 24 (emptying)

today people came to take my table and futon. i’m still waiting on the person who wanted the desk; she was supposed to come at 8 AM this morning, didn’t show up, called at 11, asked to come at 12, didn’t show up, hasn’t called back. i am flabbergasted by this behavior.
once the futon was [...]

2009 01 23 (enemies foreign & domestic)

waiting for people from freecycle to come pick up furniture. i still do not understand what possesses people to say they want something and then not show up.
i surprisingly successfully took apart the futon so that it is no longer too big to fit out my door. if i can’t get someone to come take [...]

2009 01 22 (the killer in me is the killer in you)

i have a list of things i have to do before i move out of here, and the days on which i am going to do them. on the list for saturday is to clean the back room and wash the floor, and then clean the kitchen and get rid of everything from the [...]
