bearshortyWe got so many things done today – I feel very productive today.
In the working I used the new exercise bike while Bear worked out with the weights. I like it. Being on a bike doesn’t feel like I have to force myself so definitely a good purchase.
And with late breakfast, I watched the latest “Doctor Who” on YouTube.
Doctor Who S7E1 I’m not a fan of 11 and the Moffat era but it is still enjoyable to watch (if you don’t try hard to think about the plot and the women issues). I loved Osman and I know the actress is the new companion so it will be interesting to see how that would work. It is not a much watch show for me anymore but I am glad of it.
So today, Bear and I had a long list of thing to do: we went to Ikea to return the wrong stools, and the shelves I decided not to use (we waited for about 50 minutes for a 2 minute job) and to get the proper stools; then after lunch we went to visit my grandparents and pick up a few things they stored for me for the last five years; we stopped by Home Depot to get one larger set of blinds and Bear picked up an aloe plant (I kill all plants, that is not for me); and finally we went food shopping since we had pretty much nothing in the fridge.
We cooked dinner of pasta and fried eggplant in breadcrumbs and then conquered to task of Thank You cards. The only thing left to do, though, is to go look for a sofa, which will be the task for next week.
When I first got to college, many, many years ago, there was a book fair and I picked up two large boxes of Penguin classics (their covers were a little cut off so people wouldn’t sell them). I loved that book collection – so many books and authors. When I moved back to my parents’ house five years ago, I boxed all them up and stored them in my grandparents’ closet. But now, so many years later, Kindle happened. And so many of those books are available for free. So it makes no sense to keep them – since they would take a lot of space. And as much as I would love to have a whole room just for books – I dream of having a library at home – I can’t afford too. So I was culling all the books today to see what I should keep. I don’t know what do to with the books I put back in the box. A book lover in me rebels at the idea of throwing out books and I can’t donate them to the library since the covers are partly cut off. I’m just really not sure.
