A start has been made

-

Eight bags of garbage and one bag of cardboard.

And there is still more to deal with. But this is a good start.

Yes, I'm aware that it seems like a lot of garbage. It really is. Much of it was ripped paper, various rappers, packing materials, and just plain junk. Some of it was broken bits and pieces that I had just dropped on the floor at some point and left there.

There really is a lot more to deal with but it will take time. And it will involve a lot of just dumping stuff that has been hanging around for way too long.

I know with some of the stuff I simply need to put up some sort of shelving to properly display the items. I tend to collect some things, such as owls, teapots, and random fan collectibles, and they really do need to be displayed properly at some point, and put up somewhere the cats can't knock them down.

I also know that I need to invest in some more bookcases because I have more books than the two large bookcases I already own can hold. The biggest issue will be finding ones that match the two I already have. It just figures that Walmart would stop carrying that particular style. I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled for four matching ones that are a reasonable price, buy them, and sell the two I currently have. Such is life sometimes.

I am also looking for new bedding for my bed. I want a dark green comforter or duvet for my bed as I will be changing my bedroom colours to green, grey, black, and white, with silver. As my kid said, it's pretty obvious that I identify as a Slytherin based on my colour choices. I liked those colours long before JKR wrote all those books, but they just seem a little more acceptable. Or they did until JKR revealed herself to be a complete TERF. I still like the books, but I don't like her as a person. Just like I enjoy her Comoran Strike books. It bothers me that she wrote books I enjoy, but I will likely not buy anymore of them. I can stick to 'borrowing' e-copies of them.

For now I will just be relaxing for the night.

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...
