It'll be a fortnight before moving becomes relevant, AND YET.
When I get my paycheck this week, I'm going to take out the amount I have saved up and set it aside. That way, I won't accidentally spendify it. Alternately, I'll transfer it to bank::savings, to keep it away from bank::checking.
Gah, I only have stuff that fills a pre-furnished 10'x9' room, and it still feels like too much goddamn stuff. On the other hand, I packed one bin (yarn, special-occasion clothes, books I've just read) and two teensy boxen-things, plus one bag for Goodwill/sale, plus three bags of trash/recycling, so go me! I may be a little excited. (I may carry the floor plans in my pocket.)
Oh gosh, when is trash day at the new place? *beam* Also, must print this page for putting on the side of the fridge.
I can never find food that is actually filling, for work. This is unreasonably annoying. I keep expecting to only have to eat once a day during the week and twice a day on weekends, and being all pissy when this naturally doesn't bear out. "I just ate! Waddayamean I gotta do it again? I'm busy, and I just ate!" Mneh.
Alas, I have a penchant for going through things immediately. Hence why I can't have alcohol or snacks or things just hanging out in the house -- I will consume them all immediately. "I'll just have a couple of Tootsie Rolls... *an hour later* Why do I feel ill?" This is why ING is win for me -- no chance of using it up Because It's There, because it really isn't.
I have a small stash of buttons, for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bbbsg, for some reason. I still have 242 lei, which is approximately 73 USD. The banks around here just straight don't know what to do with it. Would New York banks have a better time of this, do you think? If so, maybe I'll just send it to ![[personal profile]](https://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rosefox, for paying my share of the phone bill this and next month.
...that's not a bad idea at all.
OH yes so I applied to jobs! Woo! One is exactly perfect, except for it's part-time at a start-up. But, if it is sufficiently awesome... *shrugs* I might put my ray-zoom into some direct-to-hire places, even though it's a pain, just to be thorough.
Also-things: shower curtain, flashlight and extra batteries, leave one of my unscented candles and some matches in the junk drawer. What there needs to be is a bathroom junk drawer and also a my-stuff junk drawer. I'm sure there are bins for this in the world. And a proper laundry hamper! I definitely want to get a desk soon, too.
I need, need, to budget hard for this month. New-rent, deposit, prorated rent for current place, brain drugs, bus pass, phone bill, groceries. Plus, I need to call two places and cancel my accounts.
On a scale of one to weird, how weird is it that I already know how Josh's and my fight about cleaning will go, and that it'll probably happen in the first quarter? I worry that he'll see my not getting on his case about his place as my accepting his clutter-style, when really, it's about not getting on his case about his goddamn place, hello. And I really don't want charts or schedules or anything, but I also don't want both of us getting lazy, or resentful...
I think too much.

That's not weird, it's prescient and clever. What would be weird is not doing anything in advance to plan for it. ;) There's probably a workable compromise/system y'all can find to mate differing default levels of cleanliness/clutter.
