The food we feed the cat makes his poop reek. I just sprayed Febreze air freshener throughout the entire apartment, and I can still smell the kitty poo smell.
I installed a to-do list app on my server called “Tracks“. I give it 10 to 14 days before I give up using it because I have to keep pushing my tasks back because I can’t keep myself motivated enough to actually do stuff.
Barton and I are going to Traverse City tomorrow.
Yesterday I ate a bacon cheeseburger & fries for lunch, and 2 english muffins with pb&j and half a dozen jelly beans for dinner.
Today I ate a bacon cheeseburger & fries for lunch, and an 8oz sirloin steak w/ onion straws and mashed potatoes & gravy for dinner, followed up by another dozen or so jelly beans. At the dinner restaurant my iced tea tasted like soap to me so I asked the waitress for ice water instead.
OH THE MUNDANITY.
My Mom

So.. last week I was going to write a big long post about my mom, since Sunday was Mother’s Day. Suffice to say, anyone who knows me well has heard or knows about her/my issues. For those that don’t: I don’t get along with her because of her schizophrenia – it doesn’t stop me from feeling guilty about not talking to her for three + years though.
Lazy

I really horribly terribly suck at personal time management. “The weekend’s almost over and I’m just starting laundry at 3pm on Sunday? Wtf?”
Yesterday, we went to the ER for ‘breakfast’ at 10am. Got back home around noon, napped until 4, had Chinese food for dinner at 6, and did nothing else until going to bed again at around 10pm. Total. Suck.
Today, got up at 6, breakfast at NB at 8, went to Barton’s work for about an hour, home at 10, napped until noon, shopped at BB&B around 1:30. Then came home and back out to Sonic for ‘lunch’ at 2:30. Loaded some clothes in the washer around 3, and they just got put in the dryer at 4.
Now, what should I do? Sewing? Gotta clean the tables/desk off first. Reorganizing/repacking? Boring. Shopping for actual groceries? AHAHAHAHA, you’re kidding, right?
Getting distracted by the Intarwebz again might be doable. I’m so full of just … meh.
Moving Update
Posted by Erin | Filed under Uncategorized
A little background first: we decided last year that we weren’t going to renew our lease at Plumtree for a third year, and would be moving to Grand Rapids. In December Bart had an opportunity to get a job that would move us to Marshall, but we found out this week that he didn’t make the cut. So, on to GR it is.
I visited a few places on Tuesday, found two I really liked, and decided on Chateau Village today. Free Washer/Dryer in unit, free carport, and February free (so we can move anytime) pretty much sealed the deal for me. The bedrooms are a little smaller than what I saw at the other place I really liked (Glen Oaks East), but I think it will suit our needs fine. Eventually we hope to have a house, anyway.
We could be moving stuff as early as next weekend, provided our application is accepted. Rent will be a little more expensive than what we are paying now, (~$650/mo) but the W/D in unit makes up for that, since I won’t have to spend $100+ in quarters every month. The kitchen has more counterspace, which I am extremely happy about.
