my underbed storage boxes don't fit under the bed frame, even though the dimensions given said they should. if i could raise it a half inch, it would work. maybe i can get some spacers to go on the legs to raise it just enough. a problem for another day.
Bed Upgrade - Mostly successful
Nov. 25th, 2022 06:43 pmi put together the new bed frame i had been holding for the spoons to assemble it. then i unpacked the new bed slats. they're an inch too wide. after checking to make sure i had the right ones, i said fuck it and used them anyway by angling them to fit inside the raised lip of the frame. as of now it seems to be working. maybe one day in the future i'll have someone cut them down for me.
my room feels a bit nicer just getting the mattress up off the floor. i don't have the spoons just now to measure it and see if i can put it against the wall the window is on; maybe this weekend. for now, it's good!

worked with my roommate to organize the bathroom - it looks so much better!
reviewed my checking account and credit card statements, added my credit card, savings account, and new checking account to my NerdWallet financial summary page;
organized my logins reference document and my saved documents & pictures;
took multiple bags and boxes to the basement for storage;
took multiple loads of recycling to the bin outside and moved the outside bins to the curb for pickup;
last night we watched Knives Out; i had heard it was really good, and it did not disappoint. for some reason, i thought it was a Wes Anderson movie. possibly one of the commentary videos i've seen compared it to his work; it does have similarities. i want to spend time with my roommates more often.

kitty cuddles! this morning when i was sitting in the living room waiting for my tea to steep, one of the cats (Lilac, the small black cat who is the more skittish of the two) hopped up next to me on the couch, purring, and started pawing at my robe. i pulled one of the couch blankets over us and she curled up next to me under the blanket. i stayed an extra few minutes with her after my timer had gone off; i knew my tea would be a bit cold, but it was worth it!

Nov. 24th, 2022 02:15 pmbrushed my teeth after lunch;
early floss! after lunch instead of at bedtime - some chicken from lunch was stuck in my teeth, so i actually flossed instead of my usual picking at it with my nails, which doesn't work well and damages my gums;
washed my face!
brought my electric toothbrush upstairs to charge instead of waiting until it gave the warning buzz; looked for my replacement electric toothbrush heads, but no luck; of course i forgot to take it back down to the bathroom when i was getting ready for bed, so i had to make an extra trip up and down the stairs and i was too tired to find something to take with me to make it useful. the only outlet in the bathroom is above the toilet and there aren't any shelves to put it on - need to come up with a solution for that.
unsubscribed from more marketing email lists;
cleared extraneous stuff off my desk;
washed a load of laundry;
unloaded, reloaded, & ran the dishwasher;
took another box of books to the basement for storage;
washed, dried, & put away my offering dishes;
had a video chat with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

my right knee sometimes hurts when going up and down stairs, but not consistently. arthritis? probably arthritis.

Holiday Week! (Holiweek?)
Nov. 19th, 2022 04:33 pmtrying to actually get some stuff accomplished instead of playing computer games for my entire week off. today i went through my personal email inbox; everything has been deleted, archived, or tagged for followup. emails going back to 2010, with a few from 2007 and 2008. lots of feelings.
about a month (ish) ago i started flossing my teeth every night. after a week of consistent flossing, i invested in silk dental floss and xylitol mouthwash. it feels nice. next, i'm trying to remember to brush my teeth sometime during the day in addition to before bed.
eta: i also balanced my checkbook.
eta 2: i unloaded, reloaded, and started the dishwasher.
