dragonlady7Just personal whining.
1) Mole people!!
I am trying to clean my house.
It is not a particularly dark or dingy little house.
But I have turned on every light I own and still it is not light enough to see.
Could it be a dingier, more stay-in-bed kind of day? I cleaned the floor but I have no idea how well I did, because it's DARK.
Also, sodden. I set up garbage cans and buckets under the drip of the porch's overhang, and they're all full, and the lawn is about three inches underwater anyway. Holy smokes. It's not pretty. I went to empty the buckets and am glad I lazily wore flip-flops, because I was over them in an instant. Sneakers would've just been drenched, and that's always a smelly mess for days.
There are holes where I removed some stepping stones that had settled, that I want to re-set. The holes? Full of water. Ugh. We have the Soggiest Lawn Ever.
2) I do not own any decent furniture. My living room is ridiculous. I do not own enough table lamps. I earnestly require a torchiere lamp.
I have set up the borrowed TV on a cardboard box because I do not have a TV stand.
The living room is dark and dingy and unappealing. A giant picture window does no good when it is DARK outside.
Nothing matches and I can't even afford slipcovers.
There are still boxes of books in the corner and we have lived here for TWO full MONTHS.
Have I irritated you enough with my whining yet? Oh, there is more, despite how well everything is going.
Uh, have to do dishes, hate dishes, skin on my hands is going into Winter! Eczema! mode, skin on my legs is doing the same for NO REASON (it's not like it's been particularly cold, or dry, or any of that shit. Exasperating.) So, if I make it through all this house cleaning without breaking out in blisters (the tiny little eczema blisters that are kind of gooey? Yeah.) then it'll be a miracle.
Oop, too late.
And last, but not least, when your boyfriend's buddy IMs you and asks why your boyfriend said he felt "overwhelmed", and you say, "Huh?"
Yeah, that's never a good thing.

But definitely invest in torchiere lamps. Cheap at Walmart, and they throw out a fair amount of light.

Congrats on your NaNo count!
