Today's journey in cleaning my apartment saw me finally fully clean my fridge out and also clear off the top of my dryer. Progress is being made! And I haven't started backsliding with the rest of the stuff that was previous accomplished.

Slow but steady wins the race, right?

I knew that my fridge was in dire need of cleaning. I hadn't touched it in around five years, other than to clear rotten and expired stuff out of it occasionally, and only because I'd had no room to put in anything else. Hell, around 5-ish years ago a bottle of home-made wine had exploded in the fridge and I'd never gotten around to cleaning the resulting mess in all that time. Oh, the bottle had been tossed in the garbage back when the cork had exploded out of it, but that was about it. And I have no idea about what some of the other sticky messes were from, but I did know that it all needed to be cleaned out once and for all.

The top of my dryer tends to be where I just toss shit to be dealt with later. And then promptly forgotten about as I toss more stuff on it. It seems to be where small items go to die or something. But it is currently completely cleared off and the stuff that was on it has either been put away where it belongs or tossed out finally. I also tried to deal with a couple of really old stains on the top of the dryer but they barely budged, and I'm not going to straight up use bleach yet. Not while I'm wearing a t-shirt that I'd rather not ruin by accident. Maybe I'll locate the t-shirt I wear when I dye my hair and wear that...but that'll be later.

Will just reached out to me to ask if I can work tonight at the store if we can't get a hold of somebody else to work it. I'd rather not, but it will mean for a decent paycheque next week if I end up doing it. Plus, I'm not going to bust my ass tonight either if I do end up going in. Besides, my boss has offered to come pick me up - I told him yesterday that if he needs me to cover at any point on my days off that I'll do it if he picks me up. I haven't told him that it's largely because I have no bus fare at all on me, but it is what it is, right? I just hope that R can work it because I'd prefer to just stay home tonight. But at least I have clean uniform shirts ready to go.

If I work tonight, that will severely limit how much energy I'll have for tomorrow. Considering that tomorrow is when I had planned to go buy enough groceries to get me through until next week, well, I suppose we'll have to see. I can see me just bringing home a sandwich and a can of pasta from work to get me through until I have to work on Friday. Ugh.

Fingers are crossed that I don't have to work, and that I can get at least an hour of actual sleep before I have to be ready for Will to pick me up. Why does our staff have to suck so bad sometimes?

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...
