Until our PODS come on Jan. 6, I’ll be living in an unfurnished house with a dog, the Internet, the stuff we brought in our car, no job, and no cable or rabbit-ear TV.
Unfurnished House: Day 1
Unfurnished House: Day 2
Unfurnished House: Day 3
Day 4: Thursday, January 1, 2009
Got up at 8:30ish a.m. since John has the day off (January 1). John took Darra outside.
Made breakfast: a smoothie. Would rather have hot oatmeal, but it’s packed, and I refuse to buy some when we already have it, technically.
Start laundry load.
Waste time on internet while John finishes his book.
Go to the nearest Lowe’s to buy wood planks. The decks on the 2nd and 3rd floors have a gap beneath the railing that is big enough for Darra to slip through if she’s determined enough to end everything. The wood planks will solve that problem. We discover several other stores around Lowe’s. Drive around that area some more.
Go home and eat lunch. Watch some Reba. Stare at the wall.
I suggest we discuss furniture placement. Walk around the house deciding where things will go when we unload next week.
Next week seems so far away.
John doesn’t want to stay and watch more TV, so we take Darra with us to drive around some more, using my printouts of places I’d looked up. Takes the rest of the afternoon. Discover lots of stores and shopping centers. Realize now we know where all the stores are that we’d want to go to, and they’re all within about 15-20 minutes of our house, but … none of them are close to EACH OTHER.
Get home. Watch some more Reba on the plasma TV. Watched an episode of Bones. Getting really tired of having no couches to sit on.
Work on LinkedIn profile while John watches the Bones episode. Wonder if “systematization” is a word. It is.
Watch some episodes of Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay. Vow to avoid restaurants as much as possible.
Walk Darra. Very short walk.
Watch some more Kitchen Nightmares. Read a book before bed.
Never did write any resolutions today, the first day of the new year.
