Happy birthday
farpotshket! Have a wonderful one.
I have new glasses, yay! Well, technically I have a receipt for the $100 deposit that I paid, and a promise that they will eventually (read: 3 weeks) arrive in the store for me to pick up. Oh, the perils of terrible eyesight. Not only are classes ridiculously expensive*, but they take forever to get made. Still, glasses! Glasses that are not completely scratched and have arms that actually stay on!
Next up on my list of major purchases: a couch. Don't laugh. I'm determined this time. I went back to the futon store, measurements in hand, but damn those things are expensive. So it's back to IKEA. There are two 2-seaters there which seem like they would fit in the apartment and are within my (greatly expanded from when I first started looking, but still not enough for a futon, unless I give up on the arms, but what is the point of a couch without arms, I ask you?) price range. So I think this weekend I will head out there and sit on them. Sadly, while I was in the futon store I fell in love with a dark purple cover, so now I really want a purple couch. That's not going to happen. Whatever.
And finally (for the moment, at least, because I am running out of credit), I'm going to go look for a humidifier tonight. It's SO DRY in my apartment. It's not really helped by the fact that it's really hot, too, which means that I sleep with the fan on. Ugh. You'd think having the window wide open and the rain practically hitting me would help, but no. So, humidifier it is.
I...don't think I'm going to read over that. I can already feel the money running away from me. I don't need to face the proof.
*You know the price is beyond crazy when the $80 difference between two types of lenses seems completely negligible. What's $80 when you're already spending $300 just for the prescription?
