I chopped up a bunch of vegetables and mushrooms so I could make a quick scramble tomorrow. To put them away, I had to clear out a bunch of gross produce from the drawer and wash the drawer off. No more leaving produce to be gross! (It was mostly foraged/leftovers, but still wasteful.)
Donations are now at the thrift store! It only took a month. I hope I donāt have anything else to donate for a long time .
I organized my rocks.
We pulled out some overgrown bushes earlier this fall and there were random rocks all over. They may have been part of some design a long time ago but they donāt make sense for our new landscaping. After we dug them up we left them in random piles near where we found them. Tonight I finally put all the rocks in a pile in the back yard, and eventually weāll use them as the border of a garden bed around a tree.
One of the reasons I moved them tonight is we have a wheelbarrow and some other yard tools on loan from my parents but we need to return it soon so we can get our garage back. So returning everything is the next project.
I hung two heavy duty command hooks on the back of the bedroom door. Now our dressing robes live on the hooks, not the floor, and our bedroom looks much tidier Iād only been planning to do this for months and I donāt know why I put it off - it was easy!
Moved money from checking at 0.3% interest into vanguard VTSAX.
I bought 1.2 kg of yarn to make bath goodies for everyoneās christmas presents!
And promptly realised I forgot some people when picking colours. Sigh. Pretty sure I will have enough anyway. If notā¦ Iāll buy more in November.
I did a few things:
- Hired a landscaper and booked a site visit
- Emailed a company about my wireless keyboard failing to pair to the computer
I emailed two different people to see if we can refinance our house to a lower interest rate. Iām not sure if it will make sense but now we can get actual numbers and make an informed decision instead of just not doing it because we donāt want to take the time to find out.
I sewed a patch on my backpack and mended a cardigan!
I sorted out the stuff in the bottom of my wardrobe pending finding somewhere to donate a large bag of zines to.
I did two financials adulting things yesterday that will hopefully lead to āset it and forget itā type long term benefits. Theyāre not complete yet but Iām waiting on other people for the next steps.
I sent returns back to Asos. They are out of the return-for-money window, but are still within the return-for-credit window.
Going to bed. HARRUMPH.
shuffles off mumbling about stupid being adult and responsibilities in the morning bullshitā¦
Did medical tests yesterday that had been hanging over me for months. Yay! Now only one more medical test on my schedule (until I get told to do moreā¦).
Stupid annual training finished. Ran the videos with the sound off, got every question right anyway because itās all so screamingly obvious any reasonable seven year old could do it without preparation. But you canāt get to the questions without running the videos Because.
Iād been driving around with this bookshelf in the back of my car all week. It was up for grabs at my morning school so I took it for use at my afternoon school, but everytime I arrived here I didnāt feel like lugging it in. Itās not very heavy but itās bulky and my classroom is so far from the parking lot and Iām such a whiner. But I finally did it!
I cleaned the grill part of my bbq. It looks like I could cook edible food on it now! Next up is cleaning the case of the bbq.
Finally (after 1+ years) cut & sewed the lining to my own wool jacket. Yay for wearing it and not having the wool catch on my clothing!
Everyone did all the things! Good work humans!
I found time to cut and dye my hair today.
I donāt even know if it looks good/right (pending air drying), but I certainly feel more human and it was my first proper shower inā¦ 7-10 days or so.
Iāve needed a haircut for weeks.
Moved a giant pickup load of stuff and at least halfway cleaned grad school apartment. One more trip required once my abbreviated workweek is done, but now it doesnāt matter if itās raining because we can get everything else in my jeep.
