Feb. 11th, 2019 11:17 amCleaned out the closet and the shirt drawer yesterday, to the tune of two mostly-full bags of stuff nobody would want because it's in terrible shape (including the bedspread from India, which Snip would have shredded immediately and which also faded from green to an off-mustard color), and one very full bag of donatable clothes I'll never wear again. Which leaves me with about a week's worth of extant winter work clothes and less than that of warmer-weather work clothes. I guess my tax refund is going for new clothes this year; usually it's mad money, but I can't think of anything I really want that much right now.
This weekend I also did a lot of stupid little "this will take ten minutes if you get off your ass and do it" stuff, like sort out the mess in the cabinet under the vanity (so that's where the heating pad was), and clean my laptop screen, and dust the hideous but useful gooseneck floor lamp in the living room, and vacuum the cat tree (Lily can't help making a mess when she eats on it), and clean my laptop screen. I wasn't really up for major expeditions, since The Cold knocked me out for four hours on Friday (got up, fed cats, cleaned litterbox, took shower, went to take a nap and woke up at 2:45). I do need kitty litter before it snows tomorrow, though.
I went through Katherine Arden's Winternight trilogy between Thursday and Sunday, and enjoyed it (Vasya doesn't take any guff from ANYBODY). Now I have to find a place to put it. I wish I could turn some of my newly unoccupied closet space into bookshelf space, but that would mean redoing the entire closet, and I don't wanna. I do wanna take the bag of books that's in my office to work and swap out the ODE Non-Dental Book Swap Shelf, though. Maybe Brookline Booksmith will take some of them back, since that's where I bought most of them to begin with.
