Scatterbrained

I ended up going to bed very late last night as I wanted to air out my place long enough so that I wouldn't die of asphyxiation in my sleep (due to furniture waxing). It worked because I survived!

What I did while I waited for the fumes to clear:

1. Singlehandedly move my large TV to its new spot on the TV stand.
2. Find a place for Klackbo, the chair everyone thought was new but that had actually followed my bed with me on my move (the only two pieces of furniture I had from my old room).
3. Stand and observe furniture pensively to determine what would look best.
4. Watch two episodes of Mad Men (season 6).
5. Move Hermes to its spot on new desk.
6. Worry about my waxen hand.
7. Shower.

Since my furniture came, my place feels different. And by that I don't mean positively. I have close family friends who do Feng Shui, and I don't think I believe in it, but something seems a bit wonky, and I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe my living room is suddenly crowded with stuff and that is throwing me off balance. Who knows?

Prancine and I visited The Cross in Yaletown during our lunch break today and the shop's recent expansion/renovations are fantastic. It is my go-to store for cards. They have exquisite housewares and jewellery but everything is outside my budget. That being said, I saw a really cute laundry hamper for around $130 and I am set on purchasing it at some point. Not this year due to vacations and my recent online shopping frenzy, but soon. I am learning to let myself sleep on these impulsive consumerist urges instead of giving in to them immediately. And if I forget about things then I know they aren't a necessity.

This week has been going by incredibly slowly.
