Getting closer

Yesterday me and Victor spent three hours playing Battlefield. It was lots of fun! His friend was with us for a while but left to do other things. I'm level 3 now. Yay!

After that Victor washed some dishes while I cleaned up some. I found his fedora! It had gone missing. The brim's a little womply but it's not bad and I'm sure it'll straighten out in time.

Then I made chicken penne with broccoli and we watched more My Little Pony. I lost track but I'm sure we're nearly done with it. I'm really enjoying it.

I had bad sleep again last night. I had to take a vitamin B to fall asleep and then I woke up at some point during the night and had trouble falling back to sleep.

It was really windy last night but it seems to have died down.

So, two months and twenty-seven days left before we move. Victor wants our next goal to be to find a camper. We should also be getting solar stuff at some point. Those are, I guess, our most expensive items. Everything else we can space. I don't plan to get a whole lot else bought (or packed) until I get my sewing area packed up. I worked on my sewing area yesterday. I packed two buckets of fabric. I didn't know just how much loose fabric I had laying around. But the pile is significantly smaller. As soon as all the fabric's picked up I'll put my machines to the side and take apart the desk. That'll clear up some room for boxes and stuff. Like I'll move that stove over there. I think I'll leave some of my sewing stuff out. I think what I'll do is go through that sewing basket that used to be my Grandma's and clear everything out of it and then pack stuff in that I might need that I don't want packed away. Like basic colors of thread, scissors, needles, bees wax, seam ripper, fray check, and stuff like that. That way if I need to repair anything I have my essentials.

Speaking of repair, I did eventually repair my work pants a week ago or so. I'm not sure how long it'll hold. I probably will have to break down and buy new pants. But so far the repair job has lasted a week.

I've decided that stove we bought is just fine. It's not a forever thing anyway, it's a "we'll use this for a few years until we find a real stove" thing.

We need to sit down sometime and go over the floor plan and decide what colors and stuff everything will be. Like the walls, and what kind of linoleum and stuff.

I think in a bit here I'll go wash more buckets. I only washed two the other day. So I think I'll wash two more. It's easier than doing the whole stack all at once.

Also, it kinda feels good to throw away things from work. Like all those scan out reports I was saving, and all the order comparisons I saved from when Dustin was changing my orders. I don't need those anymore. I've also been throwing away ICM things like a guide I took home to read on how to do the IDR and the guide from when we had to do the certification. I think I'll offer Bonnie my old work shirts (and if she doesn't want them I'll offer them to Anita) and take home my certification plaque when I drop those off. I wonder how the last week or two will play out? I wonder if I'll keep doing what I've been doing up till the last day and then hand it over to Dustin or if they'll swap us out and have me as the night person for the last week and have me work with him an hour or two a day as training? I know they'll jump on the chance to schedule extra people so they can push Dustin's 40 hours into training time which has no bearing on our regular scheduling hours. So maybe they'll give us both the same shifts. At that point I don't think I'd care much whatever they had me doing. Or maybe Zhaun will push hard to get someone besides Dustin in as manager. Doubt he'd win that argument though, as Dustin does have a few years worth of experience and unless he quit too there's not a lot of other options for Zhaun. Either way I'm going to give Zhaun advance warning by a day or two to give him time to think about it. Like I'll tell him on a Wednesday and then put in my notice on a Friday. I'm going to tell Fred before anyone else though, if even by a day or two like with Zhaun, because I feel like Fred's my friend and deserves that kind of consideration. I feel bad not telling Anita before I put in my notice, but, honestly.... when the time comes all I have to do is tell Anita and within the next day or two she'll tell everyone else for me. It's not that I wouldn't trust her not to tell, it's that she doesn't need that kind of pressure or guilt. Fred's just a vendor so he won't have any issues with that, especially since he's somewhat antisocial.

So I guess I'll post this then go see about washing up some buckets. I need to bring home more buckets. But tonight I can't because I have mega event stuff to buy. I have coupons for things like margarine, toilet paper, mayonnaise, and cereal, all of which are on mega event. And mega event ends tomorrow night so this is my last chance. So I'll bring home buckets some other day, maybe Wednesday or Thursday. I'll bring them home in a smaller egg box so I can pack books in it. I prefer smaller egg boxes for books because they get really heavy really fast. And all the boxes I have left are bigger ones I think. So I'll carry the buckets out in a box, make it look like I was using the box for the purpose of hauling out buckets.
