Resolutions post: Being an adult sucks
Mar. 15th, 2014 11:30 amI have accomplished this week's sprint: all of my kitchen guild stuff is washed, sorted, and put where I can get to it easily. I need to iron one of the short gowns, but I've allowed myself a pass to do that tomorrow when I wash (and will need to iron) the smoke out of the other one.
That's the only pass I allowed myself and I really, Really, REALLY wanted to put off running the elastic through the drawstring waists because the first one I did was practically a fight to the death. I have no great enlightenment moments to pass on here: I didn't want to do the rest, I had no real immediate reason to do the rest, the only reason I did the rest was so I could say "this ugly task is now accomplished" whereas if I put it off, I would simply have to do it later.
Moral of the story: being an adult sucks
Today I have two main chores and several little ones: the main ones are
1) To draft pitch letters for the Scintillation of Scions to send out to various vendors: one draft for "Thank you for working with us before; will you do so again?" and another for "You've never heard of us, but would you want to advertise/donate?" I'm kind of putting that off because I suck at such things.
2) To clear out a bigger bookshelf to better organize Little Free Library stock. I'm actually giving that stock one of the massive 6-shelf bookshelves that was dedicated to MY books (again: adulthood sucks). (It's the wider tall Hemnes Ikea bookshelf, if anyone cares.) But the little bookcase dedicated to LFL stuff isn't up to the job.
The top of the bookshelf will be dedicated to holding boxes for future Book Thing runs. The top two shelves will be for new books, never put out before. The shelf below that will be for books that have taken one turn in the LFL and/or the ones that I'll never stop putting out (bestsellers like The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo). The shelf below *that* will be for cookbooks, because they're perennial favorites. And the bottom two shelves will be for boxes and paper bags dedicated to the Book Thing so that books will be packed and ready to go next time I take a run.
And that's this week's installment of Nea's Less Than Thrilling Life. Last night I was at the Red Circle of DC (Holmesian scion group run by Peter Blau), so that was nice.
PS: I ordered 35 Adventures of Sherlock Holmeses and 5 Hounds of the Baskervilles. They're arriving in about 7 different shipments. O.o
