kittydesadeDid eventually end up making myself get some new clothes off Modcloth at least, new tops and a pair of pants, mostly because I had no idea when the welcome-to-our-mailing-list coupon expired and I wanted to at least use it to try out a bunch of things while I had the money, since it's one of those buy an exorbitant amount get some off that would be a deal if you have that exorbitant amount to begin with. Yay birthday monies? I hate coupons like that though, because it depends on spending an amount I wouldn't normally spend anyway. (Except now, obv.) I mean, I understand why, I just don't like it.
Did that, measured my hat for the Stetson so Peggy Carter fedora will be mine as soon as it comes back in stock in my size, and ended up finding one thing I did want and would feel good about, which is to say I bought a buttload of anime on DVD/Blu-Ray. Including discovering that the 25th anniversary Akira has both the new dub (gag) and the old dub (FUCKING HELL TO THE YEAH) so I did pick that up.
(And I'm debating picking up more, i.e. Fate/Stay Night. I do not know why but it amuses me and why not.)
And I woke up this morning to The Rock's dulcet tones of telling me to get my candyass out of bed, which was definitely better than the air raid siren I woke up to yesterday. Which is apparently the boy's phone alarm. No, dear boyfiend. Waking up to an air raid siren is just a bad idea on so many levels. No.
I did start to set up my new sewing machine except now I can't find the damn power cord. Which, I should just get a spare so I have it. It's possible we still have the power cord from the whichever game console it is, or that it's downstairs with the other computer power cords, but still argh. Though on the other hand I suppose since I don't have to do anything like buttonholes I really can just swap my sewing machines back out and use the other one to a) finish my goddamn shirts, b) finish the goddamn curtains. Which I should do. Heh.
I am also kind of tempted to get really spendy and get a pair of boots (or maybe sandals? Probably boots) off of Frye that I've been eyeballing lately, although if anyone has any other recs for sturdy boots that are good quality and last a while I will take them gladly. And a pair of leather gloves from the same place that I got my hip pouch from. But what will probably happen is I won't do either, I'll get the things that I middling need first and do Dave and Busters and maybe the bookstore and close that out, and then see how much birthday loot I have left. Things I middling need like new bras when I could mend my old ones, maybe, or at least I haven't tried wearing the one I mended to see if it works as well in execution as it does in theory, and plants now that I've cleared the other bed. I mean, they're useful, it'd be good to have extra sports bras and new bras now that my old ones are getting kind of really ugh, but it's not absolutely necessary when I have two functional ones that aren't saggy and stretched.
(Yes sometimes I have weird make-do and mend habits. And weird ideas of what I need and don't need and then disregard all that for the shiny. I never said I made sense.)
But oh dear god so much garden bed clearing did we do last night. I went out intending to clear one 1x4 ft bed on the short end along the porch. Roomie offered to help so we ended up clearing that and the much longer maybe 1x16 ft length of a whole lot of annoyingly persistent ornamentals, stray oaks trying to grow from fallen acorns, oak leaves, etc. And then on the weekend at least in theory we're going to go to the nursery/farmer's market and get a shitload of things to plant. I have no idea how expensive this actually will be but we'll find out!
And in the meantime, I still have a pile of stuff to do, or rather a pile of stuff to figure out how to break it down into small bites and when I want to fit those small bites in etc, SO. Allons-y! Still not feeling behind on everything! Now deciding that this directly coincides with how much sleep I've had, with a detour into how hectic my day is.
