Slowly but surely my apartment is coming together.

I just moved my computer desk into my bedroom and recovered the work surface from the plain black vinyl I'd installed on there over a year ago. The work surface is now covered in black 'marble' vinyl instead, installed in a single cohesive sheet rather than the multiple cuts I ended up doing with the other vinyl. Duck Tape products are much more user friendly and allowed me to make adjustments before I fully smoothed the vinyl down.

I also found the itty bitty Command hook thingies I'd bought ages ago for cord maintenance, and now my keyboard and mouse have their cords nicely secured and out of the way, but with enough slack on the cable for me to move my keyboard tray in and out to its full extension. I love the look of less cords when I can manage it.

For now, my old desk is in my old bedroom until I can get in there and do more work to get the room set up for my craft/storage area. That will be the room that takes me the longest, I swear. It's just so easy to shut the door and forget about it. Until I need something that I'm sure is tucked away in there somewhere. Oh well, such is life. It *will* get done - I just don't know when.

Tonight is my first writing class of this session, which is part of what drove me to finally get my desk switched around. Now I have to deal with the stuff that has gotten piled on my bed while I was clearing everything off of both desks. Why? Because my computer camera will be partially face my bed and nobody needs to see that horrible mess tonight. It will likely just be stuffed into bags and put out of sight (likely in my old room...) for tonight, and then I'll start picking away at those bags, and all the other ones, as I have the time and energy. But at least I *have* that time to get things sorted, right?

Class is in just over three more hours, so let's see what I can accomplish between now and then!

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...

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,...

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...
