chocolatepotGosh, Tumblr is particularly insufferable lately. There are always a few posts floating around re: "I was labeled gifted/smart in school and it gave me anxiety/meant I never learned how to study," but for some reason this week they seem to have set off a bunch of scorching discourse on why it's bad to do programs aimed at high-achieving students and if you enjoyed or benefited from them it's because you think you're better than everyone and are probably racist. Which is interesting, because I never thought my elementary/secondary school administrators were on that site! *rimshot*
Finally got the lunch buffet at the Indian restaurant. Went for quantity over variety and just ate a ton of chicken tikka (delicious but not spicy at all) and about ten pakoras. Then a serving of cream of wheat for dessert. Got my money's worth! it was good, not the best, but it is actually in town so that does a lot. I gave them a five star rating and review on Google to encourage other people to go there so it will stay open. Then went to a nearby thrift store and got a set of four goblets and two small tumblers with cute little silhouettes and the words "OLD FASHIONED" on them, because I did not previously own actual glass glasses. Hey, I came of age into a recession!
Did a little housewares shopping later in the afternoon as well - I got three of those cube boxes (in turquoise) for the cube storage unit I bought ages ago and barely ever touched, which let me put some of my sewing stuff away that had been sitting around. Also new cushions (turquoise) for my chairs, plus two smelly candles. And a couple of other functional things: a rack for toilet paper and a sponge-holder. (I really need to find some kind of organizational solution to my bathroom cupboards - they are extremely narrow, like 5" wide, and deeper than arm's length.) After getting the sewing stuff a little neatened up, I pushed three boxes of books into the hall and put them on the short bookcase out there. No more Box Island in the middle of the sewing room!
There's still a lot left to do in the apartment as a whole. I suspect I'll finally have everything put away by the time I move. I'm writing interpretive plans for a few of the period houses at work to explain how they should be furnished - I think I need to write one for my apartment, lol.
