serenissimaLast week, several inconveniences happened one after another, so I was somewhat aggravated most of the week. Today I'm in a better mood.
Yesterday we had more snow. I was expected flurries in the morning, but the snow kept coming from the time I woke up before 8 AM until the mid-afternoon. I stayed in my apartment all day long, partly because of the snow, and partly because I'm having trouble with my key. I am a bit concerned that I will find myself locked out when I go home this evening. Anyway, I did housework: unpacking boxes, assembling stuff, moving furniture, washing dishes, and consolidating trash. At the end of the day, my apartment was more than just a place to sleep and get changed. It is becoming a pleasant space to be in. :)
Consequently, I'm in more of a holiday mood, and it's now past time to move on to Christmas shopping. So far I have a gift for only one person, and some things for a couple other people but not enough for them. Mostly I don't know what to get for people.
I think my delight in snow wore off with the first snowstorm. A shame. Maybe I need a good pair of water-resistant gloves & pants, and a yard in which to build a snowman. Also, I need to not have to drive anywhere.
My parents are arriving a week from today, bringing with them some of my things from home. I'm looking forward to getting my boombox. Right now, the main things that make noise in the apartment are the refrigerator and the heater in the living room (why does that thing buzz so annoyingly?). The silence gets wearing after a while.
