M-Day
It's about 6 days till we move (Saturday) -- and I think we're already running behind. We ran out of tape yesterday and couldn't find any to fit our two tape dispensers. However, we did go blow some of my money: $56 for medicine, $18 for lunch, and another $38 for lunches for the week, as well as cold medicine and yogurt. And I still need to float a loan to ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
katsuko so she doesn't overdraft on her doctor's visit tomorrow.
$25,300 a year doesn't cover all this...
Okay, enough whinging about money. I'm not sticking up a PayPal donation link here like I did on my LJ. That would be bad...
I would feel better, though, if Seven Seas Manga ever paid me for my last translation job for them -- back in fucking FEBRUARY. I'm getting "do another translation for us" emails -- and yet I still haven't been paid for the last one.
There's also 5 days left in JulNoWriMo. Yes, in the midst of all this packing -- and the first round of editing on Amaranth, I've also written about 43,000 words on Verdant. I'd say I'm about 6500 words from done. If I have another couple of nights like I did last night and the night before (2200 and 2500 respectively), I just might make it -- and maybe even have a night in there where I can get a normal amount of sleep before the move. I tell you: if I get my 50,000 words by the 30th, then I'll crash at about 8:00 on the 31st.
The plan is for Mum to come down on the 1st and help us with any last minute packing and, once we get the new key, maybe start moving some of the boxes over there. I'm probably gonna catch a wee bit of flak over how messy the place is. We've been letting clean slide while we got stuff packed. Speaking of cleaning, after the movers come (sometime between 10-6 on Saturday), we're going to do our cleaning of the old place on Sunday, 03 August, so that we can hand in our keys on Monday, 04 August.
Hopefully somewhere between 04 August and Wednesday, 06 August, my father and grandmother will arrive with the washer & dryer. Having to buy a new set is not on my fun time list of things I've always wanted to do. I'm also going to give them these two blue lamps to take back. I found some I like a lot better, though these were good for yard sale cheapies.
I guess what I'm saying is that I'm tired of being mismatched all over the place. I want a place that looks nice. For this I'm going to buy new slipcovers for the loveseat and the recliner and new throw pillows for the loveseat. I'm getting lamps that match everything else, color-wise. And stuff like that.
And now for back to work.
