Vacation Thus Far
March 28th, 2013 01:21 pmOkay!
I've got the first coat of polyurethane on the window frame. It's looking good, though I'm a bit ticked at myself for second guessing myself and using a little light pecan stain to mellow out what I thought was an overly red area. Now it's not quite red enough. On t'other hand, it changes so much depending on the light that what I did may not have made a difference, and when it call comes down to it: It's just trim around a window. If I stick to a good schedule, I should be able to get 3 more coats on today and put the living room back-to-rights tomorrow.
I picked up a craigslisted tv stand yesterday in Bucoda (and I wasn't shot by a meth dealer. YAY!). It's uglier than I thought it would be from the blurry picture, but it was also only $25, so it can serve as 'proof of concept' furniture, and if I like having my living room arranged that way I can look for a different one and sell this one to someone else on craigslist for $25.
I have finally sent the "I'M SELLING YOUR SHIT" notice to the disaster flake who left her crap in my house, broke a lease, and dropped out of contact. I sent an email giving her two weeks notice, and then it all goes on craigslist.
I posted the old dryer on craigslist.
Now, the bad.
I haven't managed any writing or art -- unless you count painstakingly recreating a video game character as art. I've been crap at both regular exercise and vocal practice (though I'm more physically active in general than I would have been were I at work). I still have three days of my 'normal' weekend to try to fit some of that in, I suppose.
Worse, I have noticed my current tenant... does not seem to be going to work. I'm trying not to borrow trouble, but... fuck. I really don't want to have to kick someone out for failure to pay, but I WILL do it -- and if he gets fired, he'll fail to pay. Guy has no float (he does have family to fall back on in the area, so it's not totally heartless). I strongly suspect sleep cycle and/or depression issues, but at some point I have to remember that we have a business relationship and this is not my problem.
