So my misfits Market box was delayed. The courier service says it’s received it. But it is currently no out for delivery. I’m giving it a 50/50 chance of showing up today.

We finally replaced the vertical blinds. Edit: should I hem these? Or keep them long? Also, should I sew the panels together? We need two on each side.

sarenu, I don’t think pooling like that is wrong if you like it. I personally like my curtains, just off the floor. Between cat hair and dust bunnies, I just think it’s easier to vacuum around them if they’re up an inch or so.

I don't know how people keep them nice. Lots of people like them long - to me, they look sloppy. Them again, I also don't have any dresses or pants that drag on the floor, I'm very pragmatic.

Okay, once I get them on the rods right, I’ll work on the hem.
Dust buns happen here, and the idea of dusty dirty curtain bottoms makes me cringe.

Lol, cleaning staff.

I'm feeling very angry at everything today, with no idea where to direct it to. Very "fuck it, let's start a revolution because I'm sick of being shafted"

Tapa is down again. I managed to log on from my laptop after I made a work call. Currently hiding from my children (who are probably not doing their virtual school work).
FFF Confession: I kinda love when people don't answer their phone and I can just leave a voicemail instead of talk to a stranger on the phone.

I hate leaving voicemails so much. I have to do it fairly regularly for work. People just don’t answer their phones, and I get it, but I also figure if I had a loved one in the hospital, I’d probably pick up rather than screening my calls.

And 100% I want someone to leave all the important information in the message, instead of telling me to call back.

I finally folded the 8 loads of laundry piled on my bedroom floor and before putting it away, I went through each drawer in the girls' dressers and took out all the winter stuff and everything they've outgrown. I filled a garbage bag of clothes to donate and made another full tub of better conditioned clothes worth passing down to cousins. It feels good to have that done. Now, I need to do my own clothes.

This is someone I've played phone-tag with a few times now, so I just said he could email me and it might be easier to discuss details that way. LOL Like - stop calling already and put some stuff in writing.

FFFC: I kind of miss wine coolers. Do they still make those? Was that a 90s thing like Zima?

I had the inspection on the new house this morning and then a picnic lunch with my friend. Home now to tie up some loose ends with work. I need to run out for wine and ice cream.

And some of those taste quite a bit like wine coolers. Like Trader Joe’s Simpler Wines peach sparkling canned wine.

That’s part of the fun. They’re right up there for worst hangovers, though.

Sorry, just a beautify bubbly shade of peach.

I'm sure I'll have a few design posts. Some paint and furniture shopping needs to happen.
