Last night, I really felt like Action Boy. I was still grooving from my sudden surfeit of candidates (still at least one more interview to go--who thought I might end up spoilt for choices?) and tackled a bunch of small crap that's been piling up. I spoke to Room & Board and got them to take my broken bed back (not until next Thursday, though). I got money, bought brushes, grabbed takeout, and brought it all to [livejournal.com profile] monshu. There, we discussed plans for a trip to SF next month and looked at ticket prices. I went back to my place, grabbed one of my new brushes, and applied another coat of stain/poly to my new kitchen table; it took an hour, or roughly half the time it took [livejournal.com profile] monshu and me working together to apply the first coat. Either I'm getting better or just getting down with my sloppy self. I did the dishes. I called friends in SF and cleared my dates with them. Then I took the super glue I bought almost a month ago and repaired the teapot lid that's been broken since Dutch Boy visited last spring. I took out the needlenose I bought on Tuesday and repaired my geekboy key case, which is beautiful and very handy except for the habit of some of the clasps which hold the keys to come undone.

Looking back on the list, it doesn't seem like I got as much accomplished as I felt like I'd done, but that doesn't dampen my spirits, which have been high all morning despite the Divisional Meeting. There's a lot to tackle this weekend and I should do it while I have the energy, since, soon enough, I'll get discouraged again and lie around brooding at the atelier of my life.

I was supposed to come back from lunch feeling even more empowered from my completion of more tiny tasks. But I didn't have all the information I needed to fill out my forms and I spent too long at Giant American Mattress World Mart. (Not my fault! The proprietor lied to me about the time!) As a result, I got back to the office five minutes late for my 2:00 interview.

Oops! As Pablo pointed out, at least I didn't come back smelling of alcohol. (I had actually considered getting a beer at the creperie, but ultimately thought better of it.) Still, it makes it a little harder to be a hardass about punctuality if we hire the boy. But he has a couple more interviews lined up and may give us the finger anyway.

Tonight, [livejournal.com profile] monshu and I celebrated my first month of home ownership with a couple of drinks and chicken sandwiches at Big Chicks. As you all know, I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed by the scope of my unfinished projects, so it's useful to consider what has been accomplished since closing. I've painted, scraped, stained, sorted, shifted, screwed and unscrewed, packed and unpacked, made countless calls, trips, and appeals for help and advice. [livejournal.com profile] monshu has made a brilliant attempt at chronicling the whole process.
