I hates it!
Dust. Cat fur. Can't avoid them and they are my least favorite things.
Packing really makes them stand out more than usual, too.

Moving again...
Yep. Seriously. I chose really really well this time, so it will be the last one.
If I win a lottery and can afford to buy a house, then perhaps I will go back on that bold statement. How about I put it this way... if left up to me, I will not move again. So barring some apartment catastrophe or winning a lottery jackpot, I am done moving.
It's closer to work... I can walk home at night. I will have the Atwater market relatively close by, as well.. so there's a huge perk.
Packing is going well. In fact, I can't really pack anymore as I am still using much of what's left for the next 3 weeks. I am weeding out the crap and getting rid of junk, but since I do that each time I move and probably twice a year when I am not Miss Move-A lot, there's not much crap to discard.
I've purchased some decor, all of which hasn't even been opened yet. No point unpacking these new pretty things when all I'm gonna do is pack them up to move, right?
I am anxious to get into the new place to paint because the bedroom walls are fluorescent green. the soon-to-be-ex tenant said she found the color relaxing, whereas I was pretty sure that my head would explode when I saw it.
Can't wait to get out of this place and into my new one... hopefully painted before I get my stuff in it.

Oh Christmas Tree....
Kind of inspired by the fake tree in the window of the Andy the Ahn store that I walk past most mornings in the Cours Mont Royal, which is exclusively made from black feathers.. check these out.
I used to be SO VERY dead set against fake trees that I was almost manic and completely preach-y about it. I still love me a real tree, though... the mere smell of it makes me so happy that I could really care less what the thing looks like.
Now though, the fakes are just so beautiful that I can barely stand it. I think the pink one is beyond girl-y. I am starting to really dislike the typical Christmas colors, too. Why can't my tree or decorations be purple? Aqua is nice.
Argue that the colors green, red, gold, silver and (maybe) blue just aren't Christmas-y all you want.. All I know is that my Christmas spirit isn't tied up in the freakin colors.

Whoops
I kind of abandoned this blog in favor of my regular site. Devoting myself to setting that one up the way I wanted. Well... now I've done it and while I post to it, I already want to change it again. God, I'm fickle.
I started a new job in October and while I'm back to commuting hell again.. it's only a 25 minute train ride and probably 10-15 minutes of walking. So not too bad. but nothing will beat the 4 minute commute I used to have. However, this job is SO VERY worth the travel time.
I am considering moving again. Hah! Not to minimize my commute, though that'd be pretty nice if I could swing it. I just don't like my apartment anymore. Even though I've only been here since October. Any fixes that need doing take forever and a lot of botching on my part. While the inside of my apartment is nice.. the lobby is pretty much disgusting. I notice that the building where the admin office is situated, is extremely well-maintained. I guess the rest of us are peons who don't deserve a clean lobby.
So yeah... moving again, but this time I will choose better and ask more and inspect things way more closely.
By the way...
Montreal is getting so much snow this Winter that I am starting to hate it. I want to break up with the snow. So very tired of it. Also... adding to the frustration... my favorite boots BROKE a week ago and I had to replace them. With GIRLY boots. My old one's were combat boots and I freaking ADORED those things.
They were warm, virtually slip-free on the ice, they looked scary (but in a good way.. and even when I was dressed up - a skirt with combat boots peeking out.. smokin' hot!) and they just all around rocked. I like their replacements (I couldn't wait around to find another pair of perfect combats).. girly as they are. The only feature my new boots don't have is that they aren't that warm.
Also.. my snappy pleather coat has a KEY button missing. It used to fall off all the time. I guess I pull on them too hard. I was always lucky enough to not lose the buttons when I pulled them off, but this past week (the boots and my coat were in cahoots, damnit!) I lost the button in a deep pile of snow.. UNDER A TRAIN! Grrr.
I cannot find a suitable replacement either.
Bugger!

Overflow...
As if I needed another reason to move... you know.. beyond just wanting to...
Last night I washed 2 bowls, a dip bowl, a saucepan and it's lid, a strainer and 2 glasses... and 2 minutes later, I heard what sounded like water spilling onto the floor! My kitchen sink was overflowing.
I had not left water on and forgotten about it, but the little bit of water I used and someone else's laundry water (?) backed up into my sink and viola... a nice big mess for me to clean up. It did eventually drain, but not until after I took a bucket and emptied some of it myself.
I called my super, but it was 2 hours later when he showed up. Thanks a lot! Real helpful! *eyes rolling*
Supposedly, he's taking a snake to it today.. or some machine.. He wouldn't do this last night since it was already 11 p.m. and whatever it is he plans to use on the sink makes noise.
I can't wait to move.
I should be buying some livingroom seating Friday night. Can't wait because the "soccer mom chair" is getting stale. It's better than sitting on the floor, but only marginally.

Alone time...
Finally alone in my apt.. only to move to another one in 3 weeks.
I have to start a list of things to do before I move. Thankfully the list isn't too big.
I love having my apt to myself though!

Yay for purple!
The lease for the new apt is signed. I'm 5 wks from moving in and when I looked at the place again I found out that my freshly laid carpet is purple! Dark. Like plum, almost. Brilliance! I LOVE LOVE LOVE purple!
I am 7 days away from having my current apt to myself. So more cause for smiles! Even though I don't move for 5 wks... I'll get to have my own place a bit early. Yay all around.
I am still decorating in my head, by the way.
I even took over possession of my mom's Christmas Tree lights since she chucked out her tree. I figure I'll do something funky with them since unlike the just thrown out Christmas Tree.. most of the lights are brand-spanking-new.

Shopping for moving...
A fun yet frustrating process.
For now, I don't really have to get myself any furnishings. I have all I NEED or will very soon. Most of my furnishings I'm light on fall under.. nice to have as opposed to gotta have.
I'm all about getting a vacuum and a blender. I want a toaster oven, but I'm willing to wait on that for a little bit longer.
The frustrating part is having to re-buy all the cleaning agents. I hate to clean. I'm sure everyone does. Mostly though... I hate to clean because it means choking on the fumes of the products I have to clean with. Thus making me spend more time on cleaning than I'd like.. what with having to step out and breathe fresh air every few minutes.
Even some of the old stand-bys one can use to avoid those foul odors are just as bad. Vinegar, for example. I can and should use it mixed with water to clean my windows. And since one theme in my furnishings are glass tops, I'd get a lot of mileage out of such a change. Only problem is that I can no more tolerate the smell of vinegar, than I can the smell of say... Mr. Clean.
I guess the main difference is that the vinegar smell, while nauseating... isn't chemically vomit-inducing and likely not leaving traces of god knows what in my lungs. Plus, I'm not dumping chemicals down the drain when I'm done.
Any good tips on how to clean a bathroom without chemicals? Because that's probably where I use the strongest, most foul cleansers.

Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield.
I am the windshield today. Even with the sleep I finally got from the other night, here I am today feeling like I'm at death's door.
I don't feel sick or anything (though I am sick and tired, heh), but I feel dead, kind of helpless... subject to huge ups (moving) and huge downs (not moving today). I am gobsmacked with annoyances that I am not able to get rid of.
The humid weather messes me up. Makes me more tired than I usually am (which is really tired) and saps any energy I may soak up during the day.
I hate Summer! I really do. OK, so it's nice, sunny, flowers bloom and stuff, but so what.. I freaking hate flowers! Keep your sucky flowers nature!
Give me a warm day... sure. It's not so bad when it's just warm, but why humid? Who does that help? NO ONE, that's who. I hate it. Pets hate it. Old people hate it.
One could argue that without heat, we couldn't swim, but screw that! That's what indoor pools are for. Also, warm isn't the same as humid.
The way the weather keeps going from OK to humid is bad for all of us. It makes me long for winter. Even though, once winter starts, I have to listen to everyone complain about the cold or the snow. And if it doesn't snow, then I gotta listen to people complain about the fact that there'll be no White Christmas. Can't have it both ways, folks.
Guess I can't either though... since Summer is the time for humid.
Bleh!

Moving: T minus 52 days.
Ever get so excited about something that it interferes with your sleep? OK. Has moving ever been such a thing that'd excite you so much to lose sleep?
Perhaps this whole decorating in my head thing needs to stop? I don't really want to stop, but damnit.. I do want to sleep. This girl NEEDS her some sleep!
Also, it's T minus 30 days until the roomie moves out. At which point, I will move my bedroom into hers (it's bigger) and use my former bedroom as a packed box repository. I'll be so organized!
I will also move my TV & stand out into the livingroom. Hopefully, I'll have a couch by then. I'll likely be so blissful that I won't even care if I have to watch TV from the floor. Heh.
Last night, no sooner did I finish dinner and slump off to my room, originally to open the window... did I fall asleep. Sound asleep. I awoke at 2 a.m., stayed up for a half an hour and then tried to go back to sleep. I don't think I did get back to sleep until 4 a.m. or so, but so what... I'd just gotten 8 hours of sleep.
That only happens to me when I reach my tolerance for sleepless nights.
I can't wait to move!

Decorating in my mind...
I am so thrilled that I will be living by myself in 2 months. Actually it'll be in one month, because my roomie is leaving Sept 1 or.. at least after Labor Day!
I haven't lived alone in so long. I am looking forward to the privacy the most. To be alone. If there's noise, I'm making it. If there's a mess, I made it. If there's no food, the grocery fairies didn't come. I kid.
The prospect of decorating and NOT having to take someone else's tastes into account are seriously over-loading my brain (but in a good way). I've got strange tastes, so I'm sure my apartment will be enough to induce seizures in some people.
I'm all about swag lamps for example. Click for examples: here, here, here and here.
I've also got a serious jones for those vintage glass candy dishes/ashtrays. The more elaborate, the better. Click for examples: here, here, here and here.
They're a 70s era thing that being born in 1970... I just can't get over it. Hell, I don't even want to. The funny part is that while I'm stuck in the 70s a little bit, furniture-wise... I also like a few modern pieces. And again, if those 2 conflicting tastes weren't enough... I love antique furniture pieces as well.
So I can't wait to see how it all turns out.
Here's what will be my shower curtain.
Woo!

Ever have one of those days where nothing you do is ever right?
Well I'm having one of those years.
Can't win and it's not ALL my fault either.

I need a hobby...
Seriously.
I do have stuff I like to do, but I'm not really getting anywhere with teaching myself stuff at the moment.
I'm just too scattered to focus on anything. I am also just flat out of ideas for what I'd like to do as a real live, devote lots of my free-time to it hobby.
Knitting? Bah... I kind of hate knitting.
Sewing? Sort of, but it ain't really worthwhile without a sewing machine. Too expensive for the time being.
Computer stuff.. Already doing that. I need to branch out!
That's where it ends really. I can't think of a single other thing I like to do.

Is this weird.. or anal?
I have a floor plan for my new apt. Oddly enough, the agent handed it to me after I'd looked at 2 apts. Hehehe. I don't think it's very accurate, but then again, my memory is horrible.
I was certain that the living room and the 2nd little bedroom were against each other. I hope that layout doesn't affect internet hookups. They can just run cord, I suppose, but it'll be a long way to run cord.
Anyway...
I've been drawing on the floor plan. Yeah. Drawing in my furniture to decide where it'll go. I don't have a couch yet or a futon for the #2 bedroom, so technically, I'm drawing things I don't have yet... which seems odd.
A friend of my mom's has a couch for me... I just have to get myself over to her place to look at it. I hope it's all one color or at least not flower patterned. So long as it's not flower-y, I'll probably take it.
I'm going to have SO MUCH room in my bedroom. I can continue to try and find a vanity table & chair... and I can probably get another small desk in there, too. Although... more likely I will take my current little glass top desk where my computer is now into my bedroom and get a slightly bigger desk for my computer space (bedroom #2). I have a laptop as well that can sit on my little bedroom desk. I also want a comfy chair in my bedroom... I also need a new office chair.
With the size of my closet, I'll have to buy more clothes!
There's lotsa parking spaces as well (for my peeps with cars) and I don't have to pay to park in any of the spots like I do now.
Can't wait to move!

New Place...
I saw and applied for the new place I am moving to. It's a 20 minute walk to work (a 4 or 5 minute bus ride in shitty weather). There will be no more going home for lunch. Oh well.
I'm pretty jazzed about it. No sharing! Unless you count sharing with my 2 cats, which I don't. There's even a pool! The worst thing is that my fridge & stove won't fit, btu I don't care at this point. I'll either store them or sell them.
I don't move until October 1st though and let me tell you.. time so does not fly!

Moving again....
Yes. I'm moving again. Not until Sept 30. It may be possible to move sooner, but Sept 30 is D Day.. well M Day at any rate.
I'm moving into a smaller apartment in an attempt to save money. All told, the budget looks pretty spec-freaking-tacular assuming I stick to it. I've stuck to my current one mostly... only a few slips. I'm even ready to furnish my own private smaller apartment with the exception of a couch to play couch potato on. I probably need a few small appliances, too. Other than that, I'm set. I just purchased really pretty drapes & a TV/stand way bigger than I had planned which makes it fun to watch in my tiny bedroom. Hopefully my eyes will readjust once the new TV's in a proper sized livingroom.
I really can't wait. I hope like hell that I can move in the next 3 or 4 months, but if I have to wait until Sept 30, it'll make it that much sweeter, I suppose... having to wait and all. I'm seriously chomping at the bit right now. I am likely to stay in the very same building as one of my neighbors wants a 2 bdrm (which I have) and I want a 1 bdrm (which he has), but I am staying in the same complex at least and failing that, the same area since I work here, too.

Mailmen!
How hard is it to ring a doorbell?
It must be very hard because when I went home at lunch I fought with the package containing The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. DVDs that the mailman inexplicably shoved in my mailbox which it didn't quite fit... which is why I was fighting with the package!
Ended up tearing the box to shreds before I could get the package out.
I'm tempted to leave a sticky note in the mailbox! "Please ring bell for packages, you lazy twit!"
Perhaps I should leave off the last part though?
He'd better not pull that shit again when my comic arrives in the mail!!!
It must be very hard because when I went home at lunch I fought with the package containing The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. DVDs that the mailman inexplicably shoved in my mailbox which it didn't quite fit... which is why I was fighting with the package!
Ended up tearing the box to shreds before I could get the package out.
I'm tempted to leave a sticky note in the mailbox! "Please ring bell for packages, you lazy twit!"

Yeah, just f*&king fabulous...
My psycho neighbor actually uttered threats.
"If you slam your door again, I'm going to smash your face"
Yeah, sounds stupid, but the whole incident was stupid, so... but then again, it also sounds stupid because I've never slammed my apt. door.
As soon as I heard the threat, I was thrilled... not "thrilled" you understand, but pleased that he was so stupid and has now made it so easy for me to get rid of him. One sound out of this guy from here on in and the police will deal with him.
Apparently, he's not all there (according to my landlord and superintendent). His mom seems nice, though... if a bit dumb for letting a nutjob live with her. Once Ass-face had taken his meds he wanted to apologize, but the super told him not to come to my door again or try to speak to me in the hall.
I reiterated to the super that while I'll accept his (post-medication) apology, if he comes to my door or tries to speak to me again, the cops will be at his door within minutes.
No one accosted me as I left my apt. this morning.. so we'll see.

List-making...
List of things I plan to do: Mock BF for going to go to the gym. Start listening to my MP3 player while I work (one ear only). Use my yoga ball more (without bouncing on it trying to see how long I can bounce on it before falling off - and FYI.. not long). Fantasize that I'm having a glass of red wine once or twice a week. Wish that I lived in an apartment with a pool. Have more sex. Tell anyone really annoying me, giving me attitude or bossing me around to eat a dick. Pee often (I don't have much choice here though). Buy curtains soon (but, I've been saying that since mid-October).
List of things I won't do: I am not going to stop snacking on icing (petulant, I know, but I can't have most of my vices any more.. this is one of the last). Cook a lot. Complain about the fact that my nostrils get stuck together when I breathe in because it's been so cold this week. Worry/think so much about my stomach. Hit people who ask me EVERY! SINGLE! DAY! how my stomach is.
