The Latest With Me
So I had every intention to have TWO books finished this week... but that didn't happen. And Dash & Lily ended up expiring since I got it from NetGalley. It had a short amount of time for availability once I downloaded it and I didn't realize it until right before I moved. I was planning on reading it quickly so that I could finish before it expired, but, it didn't happen. SOOO. I will have to see if the library has it so I can finish where I left off.
As you well know, I moved into an apartment on my own last week on Saturday. It went very well, we managed to get everything over here in one day. I spend the rest of the night setting up my kitchen and bathroom. The next day I was so sore from lifting and organizing, but I kept plugging away at it. Then I went to the store to get several things I still needed for the apartment. I got so wrapped up in getting all these things I needed that I completely forgot that I would have to carry it all in by myself when I got home. It took four trips from the car to my apartment. Good times, lol. The funny thing is, I completely forgot a couple things, including lightbulbs for the two lamps I bought AND a mixing bowl for the cookies I wanted to make Sunday night. The cookies still got made, I figured out a way to do it without the mixing bowl. ;)
The rest of the week was filled with work and organizing and having fun. And this weekend has been full of taking care of larger projects, like laundry for the first time while on my own. I put on a couple movies today but they've been more of a distraction than anything, although I managed to take care of some stuff while sitting down watching them, lol. The Sound Of Music is on behind me right now, and it's just nice to have something on in the background. I'll have to put on some music once the movie is over so that I can do some painting for a project I need to have finished by Wednesday. Must get that done! I am way to distracted at the moment and I need to stop doing that!
Living on my own hasn't been too bad. I guess it works for me since I'm so independent. One of my coworkers is convinced that I'll regret my choice in a month because I'll be lonely. I'm sure I'll feel a little bit of loneliness here and there, but it's not like I can't visit my family and friends or have them over here. Plus, I'm considering getting a cat sometime soon. Not that a cat makes up for human contact but cats can be good company, especially since they aren't too needy and they like to cuddle on your lap while you're watching TV. ^_^ I would just get one now but I'd like to have everything set up and be settled in more. So maybe in a month or so.
So anyways, that's about it for the wrap up of my last week! I don't have too much else to report aside from that... plus I have several other things to attend to at the moment and shouldn't stay online much longer, haha.
Hope you had a great weekend!!!
