Hangin’ a flingin’ uwee
Maybe you know the feeling. You get a whole roomful of brainlessly saved hoarded items emptied out, clean up all the rodent turds, vacuum the spiderwebs, wash the walls, and fling whatever you are “allowed” to fling. And then. You have to figure out a way to put all of the non-flung stuff BACK! Whether you want to keep it or not. Because somebody else DOES want to keep it.
That happened to me this weekend with The Yellow Shag Freakout Chamber. And I have to admit that even the mannequin is starting to grow on me now that it has a face (if you are friends with me on facebook and have been on there today, you will know what I mean). But still. Now I have a whole bunch of crap in my “studio” and I don’t want it there but I don’t want to junk up TYSFC again…
But… We were driving out to Meijer / Lowe’s yesterday and we passed one of those storage places and… and… and… A lightbulb came on! And then another lightbulb, namely that there is one of those places a hop, skip, and jump away from The Landfill, like just down the row from the Plum Market that I walk to for grokkeries. We could actually rent one of those things and it might not even be a pain in the you-know-what! It would might solve the problem of all the “stuff” currently stored in the moomincabin garage that still has to be gone through. And having an additional space to temporarily store things would might allow me to get going on remodeling The Landfill. I know that one of the issues that is holding me back is that there is so much *stuff* here. And this is *not* even a true hoarder house as much as I whine and complain. I am hot on getting a storage thingy. We’ll see what we get up to with that…
Today was kind of a cooking day. Nothing exciting, just getting some things prepared ahead of time for the work week. I dunno why I make myself think that cooking isn’t work and doesn’t take time because it sure does. Anyway, I bought a whole tenderloin over at Plum Market today. The butcher asked, “Would you like me to trim that for you?” Well, yes! Why not! I am *horrible* at trimming tenderloins. And so he did and made a pound of “hamburger” out of whatever good stuff was trimmed. I ended up with so much stuff during that shopping trip that I had to text the GG to drive over with the Frog Hopper and pick up my bags.
The photooos are brought to you by the old QuickCam I found down in the Dungeon during my flinging campaign. The ’90s version of webcam? Or whatever. We attached it to our big-honking-box powerMac. Or whatever it was. That computer was anything but portable but I think that was maybe when Jobs was not working for Apple (?) My next computer was a loverly strawberry iMac (which was portable but…) and then I was on to laptops laptops laptops… And iPhones and iPads… … …
I ended the day by upgrading my iPhone to iOS 6 and downloading Google Maps. I’m glad that chapter of my digital life is over.
