Mid-life Crisis?

-

In the last little while I've gone a bit off the rails...

It's almost like I'm going through a bit of a mid-life crisis of some sort.

No, I haven't bought some fancy sportscar. Hell, I can't even afford a boring used card right now.

What I mean is that I've spent money on things that most adults my age wouldn't even think about.

I've bought merch from a YT personality that I follow. A pair of fluorescent Heelys that I know I'm going to end up crashing in the first time I wear them outside. A shit ton of Halloween/Gothy stuff that I probably really didn't need right away. The clothes...oh gods...the clothes.

I knew I needed to revamp my wardrobe, so I've been buying a few things here and there. But I've also been given a bunch of clothing. And now I've got to sort through the ginormous pile of clothes to pare it down to a livable amount and still have clothes for work and for play. It's going to be a chore....ugh.

And I have to start staying away from any and all Dollarama stores because I swear I can't walk out of one of them without buying something. Often things I don't have any immediate use for and sit around collecting dust while piled up on top of other things that need to put away or thrown out.

Next week I have four days off in a row, and the plan is to use that time to finally clear all the crap out of my home. What is in decent shape will be donate, and the rest will be tossed into the garbage on Thursday morning. And a friend of mine is willing to run me to the dump with my old TV set that has been hanging around in my living room for years. Yes, years. It's an old-style flat-screen TV with a huge projection on the back of it, no HDMI connectors, and it's really just collecting dust. If it even still actually works at all.

I probably should stop sitting on my ass and start bagging stuff up...I even know where I should start. Yet I don't have the willpower to get on the go. *sigh*

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...
