i'm still living in complete chaos in my apartment. everything is still in the middle of the room and i didn't really get as much painting done today as i would have liked. i decided to stop around 8 because i had finished another can of paint and it seemed like a good stopping place. i worked last night and was back in the office bright and early so i decided i was going to take it easy tonight anyways. i'm going to visit my granny tomorrow after work so i won't be working on it tomorrow. thursday should be the day i can actually start moving furniture back.
having everything pulled to the middle of the room makes my place looks bigger and the windows are more accessible. this is making me consider new furniture arrangements and i'm looking forward to moving everything around to see if it works or not. i wish i had taken more "before" pictures since i love before and after so much. oh well. whenever i do things like this i do them impulsively and there's never time for the before shot. i do have during shots though.
the to do list is still holding strong. finishing the painting is still the priority because it doesn't seem like i can get much else done until it's over. i'll start going crazy after a while with this mess. i've only got a little less than 2 weeks before i'm in nashville for a week. then i'm back for one week before i take off for italy for 2 weeks. then i'm only back a day before i head back to nashville for a week. then that following weekend i head to des moines to help bart move. whew! i can't wait for august when i'll get some down time.
in other news i got new glasses and contacts yesterday. i get to pick them up in about a week. i think the new frames are pretty snazzy. also i'm thinking i should take a facebook vacation. i'm a little obsessed with that site and shouldn't be. with as busy as i am there are plenty of other things i could be doing. such as:
- finish painting
- grocery shopping
- get wiper blades
- replace track lighting bulbs
- finish cleaning
- put together give away stuff and post on freecycle
- rewrite a budget
- meditate
- jog
- finish the omnivore's dilemma
- yoga
- study japanese
