i loooove my new colours. i know not everyone's a fan of brown, but my sD feels so much 'warmer' than it did with the blue. aside from having the hiccups and being incredibly congested due to this cold (therefore not being able to hear well, speak un-nasally, or breathe the easiest), i'm feeling pretty good today. i'm in a good mood, that is. my throat's still all clogged, i keep coughing things up, and i have to blow my nose every ten seconds, but i actually have some energy today. it's sunny today, too, which could be a catalyst for my optimism. things with the landlords still haven't yet been sorted, but i'm not worrying about it too much for now. they've not been too well at keeping their word on things, so if they even do decide to make the situation more difficult, our mutual credibility will be taken into account - which i'm sure will be quite a detriment to their case. i cleaned again this morning, as we're starting to get things packed up now. (clean first, pack second - check.) it does look swell in here, though we haven't yet had our 'visitors.' the landlords told us again that there were some people who may come to view the flat, so we cleaned up everything else and started getting things into boxes. normally, i'm quite reticent to allow strangers into our residence, but i did a really swell job and i want to show it off, damn it! still, they were due at 1030, and it's now after 1330. i'd asked if there were any others scheduled to come look; as of right now, there apparently aren't. i know it would make things a lot easier on us if the landlords do find new tenants by 1 nov, but i think the exterior of the place definitely will prove to be a hindrance. the inside - up here, anyway, not the first floor - is quite nice; it's too bad the guys don't accomplish much and are being dicks, because they could easily get a lot more money for the place if they just kept to their words. tonight, we'll be taking our laundry to my parents' house (they're in las vegas); we've got quite a bit to do, but at least we'll have laundry facilities in the new place. i'll also be able to grab that book, i hope, as i'd told mum to leave it for me. and i'm going to hop on the scale and see if i've lost any more weight. i hate that part, but it's got to be done. work has been canceled for monday, so the next time i'll be back to work is thursday. argh! (i'd taken off 30 and 31 oct for moving.) i'm going to apply for some more jobs tomorrow, because this is getting ridiculous. still, my lazy side is glad for the break being so near our moving day; i won't be quite so frazzled this time, as we'll have more time to get things done. which i suppose i should be doing right now. have a great weekend, everyone.
