I don't have many happy icons

vicarzTired and happy. Today I suffered the pain of my own not planning, even after not going out last night.
I didn't plan a move, get a truck, or ask friends for help. Now that looks like a failure - why do I not ask? People have offered and I just want to be independent. Plus, the whole move was tentative.
The plus side is having no pressure, schedule, or expectations. I had a lot of cleaning I had to do - for instance, the frig was must dirtier than I realized, and the freezer is scary.
But...I had fun. I took on stupid ideas and made them work. Sure, I'm living out of clothes from a suitcase balanced on a wire shelf. But I got the futon over there solo, along with half the kitchen.
I showered there for the first time, and am glad I did (my god the multi-shower jets are SILLY) (did I mention the enema wand) because the idea of a wall that stays partially open doesn't seem like a good idea for this setup as some water got outside (The wall isn't up, so I made a tension-rod-shower-curtain setup that was about the same result.
I also ran laundry for the first time. omg that's a winner having laundry right outside the bathroom door!
Granted I spent a lot of time cleaning the frig...it was a lot dirtier than I realized. It looks gross - though it's mostly just 100 year old plaster dust, as it's brown it looks scary. I took full advantage of the giant sink.
What does it say that the first electronic I set up was a phone?
I suppose I'll have to set up an actual move and/or truck. I didn't now if this move would work. Heck - the heat still isn't done and it's late Sep. Who knows. But it looks good enough that I need to start planning.
Also while I'm there, I'll know what is happening and when.
Of course, this also means noise, dirt, and mayhem every day.
But...tonight I sleep there for the first time in AGES.
