random update
Jan. 17th, 2011 04:35 pmso, i have successfully filed all the bills and 'important papers' - by which i mean student transcripts, the auto loan sequence i got to pay for my teeth, health records, etc. i had to buy a new plastic storage box and because they never have the same designs two years running, i ended up getting a new 20gal tub instead of the usual 10gal tub. it galls me to have mis-matching boxes so much, i bought a new box to keep everything together. yes, i'm a dork.
i'm waiting on two things before i put the box away, except for this year's file folder: file this year's taxes (haven't gotten the W-2s, yet, but will by the end of the month, it's law), and i need to get my new DL and license plates. and i probably need brake tags, but those don't require my birth certificate to get. ;)
speaking of which, i completely failed to find the DMV this Friday - they have *no* street signs in the area the DMV is in, so i ended up driving for an hour looking for this building. and then Sunday, i drove around for an hour trying to find SCA practice - i found the right park, but they were across the Bay for a regional FP instead. :-p. and then i failed to find the right restaurant for the local fetlife bunch. yes, i've got kinky tendencies, but i haven't been able to indulge in them, except in the context of fiction, so i'm dipping my toes in the local community and seeing if i don't get so freaked out i run away screaming. the restaurant i went to was a nice sports bar, just not the right one. so Sunday i was kind of head-desking over the frustrations of being new to the area.
it's wash-day, and i decided to bring in the fireplace pieces to see if they're still outgassing. they still have a strong smell, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. and also, i'm putting vacuuming the apartment and cleaning the bathrooms. i hate chores.
