Happy birthday occhiblu! Have a great day. Hope you've finished unpacking!
But thank you all! It is a sunny day, now that the fog has burned off, and our new dining room chairs arrived and only two of them were broken, so that's exciting, and I shall go to the gym in a minute, which will be nice, and then I plan on spending most of the afternoon at a cafe with a lovely outdoor patio including koi pond, and then ikkyu and I are going to a lovely restaurant with views of the ocean for dinner.
I mean, they have food, too, but you can eat the food while watching the ocean. Or not. Your choice.
And I know there's one box in this mess that I can easily unpack, so I might get to that one today, but my birthday gift to myself is ignoring all the rest of them until this weekend, when ikkyu is around to share the pain.
Or joy. Whatever.
Basically, I've hit the point where indecision has set in, which is deadly while unpacking. DEADLY, I tell you.
Right. I'll stop rambling now. But I won't apologize for having rambled, because it's my birthday!
Happy birthday! and good luck unpacking, I get the unpack indecision all the time.
"hm, should I put the plates here, or the glasses. well, it's easier to reach, and plates can be heavy if I grab a stack, so that's good. but glasses are used more often..."
What you need to do is unsoberly open and pick through things with an unfocused goal of hunt and peck fun, because you really need to find that cute scarf or espresso cup. When you are fully sober again, the mess will drive you nuts enough to go and a place to start, after living with the chaos long enough to appreciate it.
