I was thinking of renaming Missy "Hermione," like in Harry Potter, which suits her stalwart, sweet and slightly troublemaking character. I always thought that "Missy" was a temporary name. I hadn't intended to keep the cats, see. It's funny how I gave little or no forethought to the naming of the cats, and the two who were adopted out retained the names I gave them: Cricket, because she didn't mew properly and made sounds like a cricket, and Tiger, because when she first got here and weighed only a few ounces, she scratched my arm to ribbons when I bathed her.
This morning at eight I got a call from the buyer in China who's wondering about her doll, which I haven't gotten around to shipping yet. I'm such a dick.

Poop, poop, poopedy-poop poop. I drove to the campus in hopes of using a computer, to no avail. Everything was closed. It was kind of a gamble. Three days without a computer -- I feel so cut off from society!
Last couple of nights I've been sleeping on the couch because my bed is loaded with unfolded laundry. I went through my things today and came up with two big garbage bags full of clothes I can donate. Kewl! Still, I don't have enough room for my crap. I went through the Ikea catalog today, dreaming. I phoned them and apparently their beds are U.S. sizes, which wasn't the case a few years ago. But yay, it means I don't have to buy a new mattress. Maybe I'll get a memory-foam mattress pad instead. Schweet!
But, I was thinking of getting a living room wall/storage unit that integrates a work desk. Then, I could take the wardrobe I already have that's sitting in my living room, put it in the bedroom for storage there, and I could get rid of this gawd-awful computer desk I have now, which is far too big and clunky. The bed frame I'm using now belongs to my SIL's parents, and I would be glad to get rid of that. Thing is, for all this stuff, I'd need assistance, which is too bad. I'd have to rent a U-Haul to get the stuff from Ikea and also to take the bedframe to my bro's in-laws, and I'd need help putting the bed frame together. I usually do stuff by myself -- I put together every piece of my furniture myself, with the exception of the wardrobe, which required a brief helping hand. I hate asking for help.

I'm pretty sure Ikea delivers, don't they? Maybe it's not too expensive?
Y'know, that's probabably worth looking into. I'm a cheap-ass, but delivery would undoubtedly be less expensive than renting a U-Haul. Duh. Thanks for the suggestion, P'nut! :o)
I'm chea...errr.. frugle, too, but sometimes spending a few extra bucks to avoid a HUGE hassle is worth it. Glad to be of help!
