Waiting sucks donkey balls -_-

Still waiting on my damn mattress to show up. I did give in and order the metal bed frame I wanted though, and that is currently sitting in it's box in my kitchen. The bed sheets I ordered are on their way, and I know where those are, as opposed to my mattress.

My bedroom is still a disaster. I haven't touched it since the end of May because I just feel so defeated right now. I was all excited about getting my new bed, and then there was no movement on the delivery for over a week. I knew that if I saw that everything was at least in the city that I'd go on a cleaning spree and get my room completely tip top. But yeah.

In other news, I'm still in the process of adding Goth touches to my place! A friend of mine owns and operates a Goth accessory online store, and I've made a couple of purchases from it, and she has sent me extra goodies with each order! She's so damn sweet :) And I haven't told her yet, but once I get the pattern for a crocheted lace parasol that I'm making her one as a gift <3 She sent me a screen-cap of one with a wink, but I had already seen it and started my hunt for the pattern just to make it for her!

This particular friend of mine was the first one to encourage me to reclaim my Goth side. She has watched as I've grown a lot more confident in myself in the past four years, and is so proud of me for rediscovering myself. And I appreciate her so much because I probably would still be lost. And this is part of why I support her business! And that of any of her friends, if I can afford to. We Goths need to stick together <3

I'm hoping that later tonight, once it cools down a bit more, to be able to get into my bedroom with a couple of garbage bags so I can toss out more stuff. I've already cleared out two bags of stuff, and washed a huge pile of clothing. I have to go through all of the clothing though and get rid of a lot of it because I don't wear it all anymore. Plus, I don't have to keep grubby clothes around anymore because I don't work stocking shelves now. And I can indulge myself in my black, Gothy stuff more now - I work at a place that appreciates my aesthetic so long as I don't go completely over the top. I'm not a fetish Goth so there's no worries there, but I do tend towards dark mori and romantic Goth when I'm not wearing my everyday casual Goth stuff. Long skirts, corsets, and loads of scarfs/shawls work in so many ways!

So, I've been verbally given a three month eviction notice due to my landlord wanting to renovate the apartment I've been living in for almost 12 years. And he's made it clear that he will not entertain the idea of me coming back once the renovations are done. Yes, the place needs some work - I've been here for 12 years so wear and tear are only natural. Of course, the day he needed into the apartment was a day where the place was a state. I'd just worked my last day of a string of five days in a row and housework needed to be done. Five days worth of dishes in the sink, garbage that was in the process of being collected to put out on garbage day, and laundry that was in the process of being washed, dried, folded, and put away. Plus stuff on the floor because I'd been going through my collection of doom bags and boxes so I could get rid of more things I don't need or have room for. It clearly wasn't putting the best look out there for my landlord to see,...

So, I didn't get everything out of the basement common area by the end of October. I got a LOT of it out, but there still remains some items that desperately need to go. I just haven't had the spoons to do it yet. Such is life when your health, mental and physical, decide to have other ideas. Obviously, I'm still working away at it all, and making progress too! A week ago, during my last two days off from work, I finally put together the free shelving thingy I got from Temu and started putting things on it. Talk about a huge difference from having things all over the counter! Organization of my kettle, various water bottles and travel mugs, spices, cereal, and other things have been accomplished and I have actual working space on the counter now. Given the space and time (and another shelving thingy at some point) I'll hopefully be able to turn the top of my mini-fridge into a coffee station and get rid of the two milk-crates I'm currently using to hold canned goods...

Ex got his ass fired on Valentine's Day...what a loser

-
The ex no longer has a job - he was termed on Valentine's Day. I can only wonder exactly what goes through a person's head to continue to do the same stupid thing repeatedly. Clearly he's not all that bright if it means that he has yet to learn a lesson out of all of this. But I also think he tends to think he'll always get bailed out whenever he screws up like he apparently always does. When he told me that he always loses his jobs the same way, I thought maybe he felt guilty about it all and wanted to make a change. Obviously not. Whenever I eat in the food court at the mall I work in I keep expecting his mother to approach me to ask what happened. Or to give me shit for not making her son a priority. Frankly, I'd love her to try giving me shit because I'd tell her - mother to mother - that she raised a selfish idiot who refuses to learn from his mistakes or is just too stupid to figure out that how he chooses to go on is no way to live. What is he goi...
