.:reflections of twilight:.

It doesn't feel like a Monday today. It feels like a Saturday or something. I think it's because mom's stayed home because of a diverticulitis attack. While that could be true, I somehow wonder if it was becasue she wanted to get more unpacking done. Hmmm...


Anyway, she actually watched the final 'Charmed' episode that I had taped last night. I was surprised. She doesn't usually watch stuff like that. She even told me she's seen it a few times before. I was like, "Should I tell her I watch 'Buffy' too?"

I'm posting later because I spent most of the morning, you guessed it, unpacking. We kinda need to step things up a bit since we have to return the POD before next weekend so we won't get charged another month's rent. I haven't done too bad so far today. I found my missing box of books and put them on the shelf. Now I'm going through a bunch of my knicknacks and deciding what I want to keep out and what I want to go into storage again. So I have to limit my internet time. I was like, "Fine, I can do that, as long as I'm able to post and surf at somepoint in the day." Which is why I'm on now. We also got our wireless router hooked up and so now mom can surf in her room and I can surf in mine. I like it much better this way.

I also got me a new computer desk. It's very nice. Glass and metal. Very chic. I put it together all on my own, so I'm pretty proud of that to say the least. I only had a few snafus, but otherwise, smooth sailing. I don't have very much shelf or drawer space (hardly any at all, actually. Only one small shelf, really), so I have to decide what I'm going to do with some of my stuff I had in my old desk. Probably storage. Man, we're gonna have so much stuff in storage...

My progress isn't too bad. Mom's getting the kitchen put together and some of the dining room. I'm concentrating on my bedroom and eventually my stuff in the bathroom. One thing at a time, though.


I found my silver piggy bank I had gotten from my great-grandmother when I was born. I polished it up to where it practically looks brand new! I said, "It probably hasn't looked that shiny since it was new! Thirty years ago!" I also shined up some other things as well.

For some reason today I got to thinking, "Man, so many shows are biting the dust this year." 7th Heaven, West Wing, Will & Grace, Charmed, Everwood... But all good things must come to and end eventually. I am upset about Everwood ending, though. It's a good show and it hasn't been on very long, but alas, it's a casualty of the merge between UPN and WB. At least Veronica Mars is coming back.

Well, that's it for now. I'm going to see how far I get in my FL before I have to put my nose back to the grindstone.

Trivia of the day: Glaciers occupy 5.8 million square miles, or 10 percent of the world's land surface, as in an area as large as South America.

I've been far too distracted lately. Too much to really complete my tasks of the day. So, no more AIM for me for awhile. I only really talk to a few people on there anyway, so it's not a major deal anyway...

Actually today's a pretty slow day really. Wednesdays usually are. I need to call the temp agency to see what's going on and I need to bring in some boxes of video tapes mom wanted to try and go through. That swimming pool is looking awfully tempting at the moment. But, work before pleasure unfortunately.

Despite the late start I had yesterday, I got a bit accomplished. I moved some boxes in the apartment and went throught them. I did find my showerhead, but I still haven't found the little brackety things I need in order to put my cart in the bathroom together. I could've sworn I put them in one of the bathroom boxes, but I went through all of them and I haven't found them yet. *sigh* I need them in order to put the shelves together so I can start putting stuff on the cart. Argh!!

I went through my closet some and put up the hanging shelves I had for my shoes and the other one I had most of my sweaters in. I think I need to get another shoe one. Like I've mentioned before, my shoe fetish is almost out of control. Also, I think we're gonna get some of those large vacuum storage bags so that we can store some stuff in them. Most of my winter clothes are gonna be stored that way.

I moved a bunch of my manga around. Some of them I put away in the little side cabinet I have and the rest I reorganized into the plastic storage boxes and put them under my bed for the time being. My other media cabinet I usually use is still in the POD and it's too heavy for me to move on my own, so it's gonna stay in there for a little while longer yet.

I put my video tapes away yesterday too, so I think that's all of the stuff that goes into my entertainment center. It's pretty full, too.

I watched another downloaded episode of 'Veronica Mars' yesterday as I was eating lunch. I want to try and watch more today if I can. I wanna get 'em watched soon...

Trivia of the day: If you were to rub garlic on the heel of your foot, it would be absorbed by the pores and eventually show up on your breath. <-- all I have to say is "Why would anyone want to do that?!"

OMG! This is such a beautiful song!!
