sistawendy: me in the Mercury's alley with the wind catching my hair (smoldering windblown Merc alley)

just five more days in Redmond

Believe it or not, they're still giving me new things to do with my four three! and a half days left on the job. So far I've succeeded in not laughing out loud. I had one last lunch on campus with m'boy, and I'll be having one last gay lunch tomorrow. Come late Friday afternoon, there will be copious good sake and munchies from Uwajimaya.

Nibs got a free night at Salish Lodge, so she spent it last night with Mr. Right Now while I spent last night camping at the old place.

Packing begins tonight. Thanks for the plastic crates, [livejournal.com profile] dianala. Nibs was concerned enough for my back that she gave me a bunch of produce boxes for my books. Aw!

I've cooked all of the perishable food that I had in the house. It should be eaten by the end of the week. I've been obsessively making lists of stuff I need to buy, all nice and categorized; I've never, ever in my life lived alone before.

The first time I lived alone, I found that I really needed a living creature to interact with. I was surprised how quiet the apartment got...

I had my cat, which was the perfect balance of interaction vs. care requirements (I had a very independent cat).

Go to Daiso before you get too much of the shopping done. Not only are they likely to have it, apartment-sized, inexpensively and cute - but they have stuff to solve problems you didn't realize you had until you saw there was a solution.

Seriously. If I ever actually become an organized person, it will be due to Daiso.
