elvendolltoday had a slow start.
i slept badly overnight - left the christmas lights on at first, then set the alarm clock in the middle of the night, hit snooze when it started ringing a few times before remembering it's a saturday and then had a dream that involved my father - which always leaves me feeling uncomfortable.
once i finally got up,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
goat and i went to tosci's for breakfast (ghods am i going to miss that place!), and then to kmart - where we spent far longer then acceptable checking out sippy cups. she was good and walked out with two - I ended up getting a total of 10, though i don't plan to keep them all for myself.
when we got home, i still couldn't quite get going, and decided that treating myself with a new outfit might not be a completely horrible idea -goat decided to run an errand of her own, and then meet up with me at hubba hubba. the good news is that i didn't find myself a new outfit (really, i like it when there's nothing that suits me in a store!), and the amazing news is that after 3+ years of searching, i finally found a leather jacket that i like! it didn't have a price tag, and when i asked how much it was, i was ready to lay down 150 for it. the answer? "well, it was $90 but we're having a slow day so i'll go down to $75 for it." needless to say, it's mine.
then came the packing. or at least, attempting to. all the important stuff is out there already. and while i made some progress today, i feel like it's been an utter failure. the fact that i'm moving has finally sunk in and it's hard. so, there's two partially packed boxes, two partially packed duffel bags and a mostly packed backpack in my room. and i'm at the point where i look around the room and can't figure out how to make the right things fit into the right places.
i stopped being able to function at around 6; hung out for a little while, ate some pasta roni and watched an episode of six feet under. i now have less then an hour to make my room look like it hasn't been hit by a tornado, and i'm not so sure i can do it.
on a side note, i got a cat carrier today and was totally amazed and amused that it came with tent stakes. yeah.
