hooray! *patpat*

I would like to pat myself on the back for a moment: Today, I actually got off my butt and made phone calls to find out where the practice rooms at BU are. Not only that, but I got in touch with the right guy, found out what I needed to do, did it, and then played a tiny bit. (Note: muscle memory is amazing stuff.) It was fantastic! This wasn't a huge task, or anything, but I'd been putting it off because it was never the thing I most needed to do. It wasn't ever really in the top ten. And yet: I did it anyway! And it was fun! It was actually super extra fun because the conversation went something like this:

Music dude: Okay, can I have your ID?
Me: Sure! Here you go. *hands over ID in which I have green hair, not the current purple*
MD: And you're with the, ahh, you work for the school of, um, Management?
Me: Yup!

Apparently I'm not the average business school type.

BUT SO! Now that I have patted myself on the back for completing a pretty mundane task, it occurs to me that I don't hear people pat themselves on the back for stuff nearly often enough! What have you done recently that you wouldn't normally crow about? Sorted some books? Taken stuff to Goodwill? Mopped the floor? Tell me about it!

I've earned enough money to pay the bills and have some breathing room. And set life up so that this trend will continue, hopefully indefinitely. Rock the fuck on.

And I've been reading. Paper books. For hours at a time. Usually I'm too scattered to do that, but have recently had more success staying away from the internets in my spare time.

Oh, and I've been spending more time with teh kitties. This is important.

RTFO! Bills and books! I've also recently been reading books. It feels AWESOME.

It does, yeah. I've been hitting the books again too -- I'd almost forgotten, the last few months, how much my life used to be about books.

I've also been calling dozens of places about change-of-address, and either sorting, packing, or getting rid of stuff pretty much every day.

Definitely not-minor, in your situation. But very good. I always feel very satisfied when I sort/pack/organize something, how about you?

Has anyone started a betting pool on how many books you're going to have immediately post-move?

Go you for paying the bills!
