VISITING CS1: As mentioned previously on this here blog, I have been studiously avoiding going back to the house because it was resulting in meltdowns and me bawling my eyes out while pitifully pleading to nobody in particular "I just want to come home". So today I decided to do something different. Instead of waiting until I was getting ready to leave Chez Spinster, I walked right in, sat right down, and said "OK, Tubbykins. If you're going to have a meltdown, do it now and get it over with. We've got stuff to do and places to be and a nap to take."
Guess what happened then?
Zip. Zilch. Nada.
I tried. I really did, but the tears just wouldn't come. Instead, I watered the plants, grabbed a few small items, and pulled the door shut behind me.
Wonder if this means I'm turning the proverbial corner?
HAULING CRAP UP THE STAIRS: I really need to stop complaining about it. I rented the damn apartment with the stairs right there in front of God and everybody, so it's not like I didn't know this would be an issue. I took this apartment because the price was right, quite frankly, and my inability to navigate those stairs is not going to last forever. So today I went on the Amazons like you all told me to and I ordered a stair climbing cart. Problem solved. I will use it as long as I need to and when I feel better I'll put it in the closet or donate it.
JOANNS: I had to stop at the JoAnns for a replacement bulb for my stitchy light, and lo and behold, they had them on sale! I was so excited...I thought my Bargain Betty dance was going to scare the bejeebus out of everybody in the place. I didn't really do too much looking about...today's heat and humidity already have me plum tuckered out, so I was good and got out of there for a whopping five bucks!
OK...now it really is time for that nap. I'll blather more later!
WooHoo!
