keladry_lupinBack in September, I thought the new paint and stuff would be happening soon. Because of this, I packed half my life away in boxes. Books, music, and movies, primarily, though there's other stuff that I put away. I kept about twenty percent of my books, CDs, and DVDs out, but the rest went in boxes and over to Dad's for what I hoped would be a month.
It's been four months, and I retrieved most of my boxes last night. I've been going crazy with boredom, so I gave up and raided Dad's apartment after dinner. Now I'm dusting my bookcases and happily placing my treasures back where they belong. I'll have to pack them up when the paint and carpet work actually gets done, but now that I've got my pretties back -- I'm still not sure what Dave the landlord is waiting for -- I'm content for things to be as they are.
I was tempted to go out and spend pots and pots of money (which I really don't have at the moment) on gardening stuff. Seeds, potting soil, and pots. (Yes, I know it's January, but in SoCA, there are some plants that I could start now.) But I managed to wrestle my shopping impulse to the ground by going to the library instead, and I borrowed a few books on patio gardening, gardens in containers, and herbery. I spent a contented hour on the sofa, cat curled up on my leg, and took notes on what herbs I want for the garde, as well as what kind of a set-up I want out there. (Pots or planters, how many and how big?)
Though I did buy a book today. It's a novel that the public library doesn't have, and it's only ten bucks at Amazon. (Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and get here!)
*perks ears up* Oooo, I hear rain! I love the rain, really I do, but now I'm wishing I'd finished my errands and braved the supermarket during rush hour, instead of waiting till now, when the checkout lines are shorter. Oh, well. It's only two stops.
