A full apartment cleaning and four miles total of walking apparently is too much for my body to take.
Hence me sitting on my butt all day doing Christmas shopping stuff because I really don't have the energy to cook or move.
That's OK. Canned soup is awesome.
(Hours and hours later)
Well, here's hoping I feel better in the morning. Time for me to crash.

Clean!
It is just about 10 in the morning.
So far, I have washed down the counters, cleaned the bathtub/loo, polished the furniture, swept the floors, mopped them, and then vacuumed the carpet. The only thing I have left to do is vacuuming the stairs (that gets done with a handheld vac because I'm not going to haul my twenty-pound Hoover down the stairs) and the laundry, and that will get left till tomorrow because I'm going to town for stuff I need today.
While exhausting, the satisfaction of knowing I have just given myself the weekend off of housework (cept dishes, but those always get done around here) is worth the tiredness I'm going to feel later.
If I do have company this week, the place is clean. If I don't have company this week, it's still clean and I don't have to spend my time off trying to get it that way anymore.
Sigh.
Meanwhile, not much else going on. Except this cool little thing.
It's basically a crystal tree that comes in a kit. You have the plastic base, the cardboard tree, and the liquid crystal material. You get the tree set up in the base how you want to, pour the crystal stuff into the bottom, and the cardboard soaks up the liquid and it forms the crystals on the cardboard.
It is extremely fragile once the crystals have formed, so it's going to stay on my bedroom windowsill until the day I move out. You can get one for yourself (Tedco Snow Bonsai: the Imagination Tree-costs between 4 and 7 dollars for one kit. There's the company that makes them, a bunch of hobby shops, Ebay, and Amazon that sell these guys, so they're easy to get ahold of.)
I certainly didn't expect the little suishou to be pink, that's for sure. No matter. It's cute. I'm going to have to buy a dozen of these things for Christmas this year so that everyone I know can have one on their windowsills.

Moved In
Lots been happening with me lately. Still working at F&S, and I moved into my place early (Wednesday last.) I've been set up completely for awhile but didn't have Internet till two hours ago because the modem hadn't arrived yet. I am currently listening to Punch Brothers while eating tater tots with ranch dip/sour cream and typing this up (and drinking a pineapple tea that isn't at all pineappley.)I love living here. I will post a video as soon as I get batteries in the camera, which may be tomorrow unless the Welcome lady wants to come by, and then it's going to be Thursday before I can get out and do stuff again. The video will be posted on Youtube and then linked here and at my Facebook account, so anyone who's looking for it can easily find it.
I am much less stressed and depressed because I'm running things a little bit again-not feeling so out of control has its benefits. I opened a checking account on Friday (checks with a little cartoon Shakespeare on them. Yeah. Ponder upon that one for awhile...) and the checks should be here this week. I was sick of paying everything with money orders.
These tater tots are divinely wrought. Sigh.
This pineapple tea isn't, though. Who labeled this crap pineapple? This isn't even remotely pineapple.
I still have to sweep the kitchen floor, make some dinner for tonight, wash up the dishes, and get myself washed and dressed for work in the next three hours, so I have to go and do stuff.
