nesting instinct

It's almost been four weeks since I moved in. There is still so much to be done around here. It seems to occupy my entire weekend. I am only constrained by courtesy to my neighbors, i.e. don't hammer at 2 am etc. It's livable, but just lots of little things and it seems everytime I come home it gets messier.

We're going to dim sum this morning, then it's errand running time.

Shoes

Brands that I think could transition from walking to office:

Dansko (I can afford these on clearance)
Taryn Rose (I can't afford these)
Aerosoles
Easy Spirit
SAS

The problem is that some are a bit more professional looking than others. The bigger problem is that all are pretty expensive.

No three inch heels for this gal, it's just too much back pain.

progress

slowly, but surely I feel like I am making progress in my life. My life is still in a huge state of flux, but at least some things are settling down.

Today was a good day. My day started off really well, I encountered the MOST adorable puppy on the way to work (Samoyed breed, 4 months old). The puppy was SO fluffy! Then I accomplished things at work and on my way home I got to see the puppy AGAIN! It is SO cute.

I have a laundry list of things I need to get done this weekend:
- buy grout cleaner from Home Depot
- buy shelf from Home Depot
- buy towel ring (Target?)
- return plastic drawer cart
- buy bike lock
- give plastic tubs to godparents

... just thinking about it stresses me out.

Programming

I wonder if I should have been a developer? I don't think so, but occasionally the questions comes into my head.

Shoes

Need new ones. Okay maybe not need, but it would be practical to have shoes I can wear walking around and at work rather than constantly carrying two pairs...

I looked in a store briefly and I saw a couple pairs I liked at 50% off, but they were out of my size. Figures.

music

For some reason I identify with a lot of emo-esque music lately (at least what I understand emo to be)... Simple Plan, Dashboard Confessional, All American Rejects etc...

Maybe I'm going through one of my existential phases. I'm learning to cope with my daily life now, though I am still exhausted. Getting to work by 8am is rather difficult. I was so spoiled... I like being spoiled.
