Well, if I pass the credit check and the background check, the apartment close to work is a lock for October. That gives me a month and a half to get some of the things I still need, like a futon mattress. I have the one I want bookmarked online, but I'm still holding out hope for one at a rummage sale. I need a few bits of furniture, too, but those will come with time. Mum's giving me a dresser and a couch. One of the ladies at church offered me a table. I need two bookshelves and maybe a TV table and I'll be covered.
However, most of the basic things are covered, sans food and things like paper plates and plastic wrap, which is stuff I'm going to get when I actually get into the apartment because I made the point that dragging all that food out here to the house and then back in again to the apartment seems a whole lot of stupid.
So I have a month and a half till I get out of here. When Anna goes back to school, I'm going to start getting clothes organized into some sort of order (ha dee ha ha.) Things have been flung all over and my CD's and DVD's need to move back into their cases. The dishes all migrated downstairs last month, so that's done. I need a needle for my record player. My kitchen is nearly finished being set up (minus unimportant things like plates to eat off of and spoons and butter knives. I have forks, though.)
So it's coming together. Give me a month and a half and I'll be chomping at the bit to get out of here (like I'm not already. The amount of times I've said, "I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE YESTERDAY," lately gets higher every time I have to clean up/run after/deal with problems that could be handled by someone else. No more being up at 6 in the morning, washing dishes, throwing the ball to the dog, trying to eat breakfast and put on a pair of shoes and get lunch ready for today all at once and...you get the picture. I will no longer have to mow the lawn at half past 6 in the morning! Rejoice!)
48 DAYS TILL INDEPENDENCE!
Ta,
Bec Koshak
