Getting Ready
Jul. 23rd, 2006 03:39 pmGot up early (6ish) and went downstairs. I ended up being put to sleep by holding the kitten (she's currently named Sunshine). Woke up again at 8ish to help take one load of random stuff to the storage unit, then loaded up the couch and endtables and took them. Pretty much out of furniture now; down to two futons, five chairs and the kitchen table. Cats are starting to realize something is up.
Why am I surprised that the house is being painted a different color? At first I thought it was a nice golden brown. Now that it is mostly done, it seems like a dog shit brown color. Hmm.. Not my problem, not my money.
Ran out to the hardware store so we can fix/replace some stuff. I didn't realize how many lights didn't have covers. I'm not responisble since they weren't here when we moved in, but I feel leaving it nicer than I found it. Same with blinds. Most are better than I thought, but decided to replace the bathroom one (catch is rusted, hook to attach turner is missing and no clippy bits to hold it into the brackets) and the living room one (one broken bit, and turner hook also missing). Used bits from the ones we got a garage sale (in crappy shape, missing stuff and the wrong size) to replace the rest of the clippy bits. We also got stuff fix the shower doors (which were removed soon after moving in because they made the tub scarily dark). Also got clothes at a garage sale on the way home, and spotted a rug and AC unit that we will got back later for (to expensive now, but they should be willing to deal more if it didn't sell).
It's nice to leave with a guy who enjoys doing stuff and not much of a procrastinator. Limits my tendencies.
