Zeo's Thoughts and Wanderings

The truck is reserved. Matt's plane ticket and car rental are placed. He has at least one house lined up to look at. Lori, the DM here, knows the DM in Phoenix, and if I get the information to her as to where exactly we're moving, she said she'd do all the calling and whatnot to get me into a hub in Phoenix. Someone's coming by tonight to hopefully take one of the small appliances off my hands ($10 for a small food processor). Matt did a ton of cleaning in the kitchen today, and I've started packing up the dishes. I talked him down to two sets of dishes (2 plates, 2 cups, 2 mugs, 2 bowls, 2 sets of silverware). I'm sewing my fingers off the next few days to finish up the two custom basic Cy wardrobes I want to sell on eBay.

Now I'm just hoping the guy stopping by tonight gets here soon. We were just getting ready to go grocery shopping when he called.

Okay, so no back to bed this morning. I made coffee, and this coffee is going to fuel my day. Wreak havoc on my sugar levels, but at least I'll be awake. As soon as Matt's done paying bills, we're going to go get my paycheck, and if it's over $500, then we can go restock the pantry. Food is a good thing. Expensive at times (even shopping at Aldis), but necessary.

Speaking of expenses.... Now that I've started reworking the Castle, and the stat counter is showing that yeah, I still get visitors, I'm seriously tempted to get the basic upgrade: $24 a year to remove the three banner ads per page, allow direct-linking of photos, etc. I have to admit, if I had the $24, I would so do it. They use some of the most obnoxious banner ads. Bright, blinking, totally distracting. Maybe it's time for another round of auctions...well, it's time for that anyway.

I need to start narrowing down my Barbie collection. Time to sell off some nude lots for OOAK. Plus, I have that box of late-70's, early-to-mid-80's Barbies that Waerd sent me (they were in an auction with a Babs convertable; he just wanted the car). Might be able to get something for those. I know offhand there's a Peaches-N-Cream (I never had her as a kid, but a friend did and I adored her) Barbie and a Horse Lovin' Skipper. I don't remember who the others are...I'll know when I get them down out of the closet, though.

Looks like I have a busy weekend in store. I still need to call Kim and set up my study for tomorrow and next Saturday.

ETA: My pay was over $500 (almost $50 over $500), so we have food in the house again. But I started feeling icky the last 5-10 minutes at the store, and I am SO tired now, but if I lie down and try to grab an hour nap before work, I'll be SO sluggish and bad-tempered when I get up that it really isn't worth it. It's going to be a long, long night.
