I hope I can be as productive today as I was last night. I've got my list of crap to do when I get home all ready and waiting for me, so I'll be able to get right to it. It just helps me feel like everything is 'ok' when things are in their orderly fashion that I prefer. Also, I have a feeling that this week is going to be another good eating week mostly because there really aren't many options to eat junk at home. Lol, we've been a little low on the moolah so we didn't buy snacks or anything else at all. Snacking is a choice between either getting creative and make something WAY out of points range, or just hold out until the next meal ... or bed time.
Oh also it looks like I might be making headway with the kitchen and it's slow morphism back into an actual kitchen! I think I might have implanted the thought seeds for dad to actually keep all his paperwork and shit in the office instead of on the kitchen table. The points I made to him were:
- That it was nice to have the extra space to set things if needed
- He already covers half of the counter with his other stuff
- Then after you figure the space the microwave, sink, toaster oven and other random things take up there is not hardly any counter space, so the extra space is needed.
I mean, there's MAYBE room for one dinner plate or two to be set upon the counter at any given time to have food heaped on to it, and still it's usually half hanging off the counter, requiring it to be held at all times. If he didn't have all of his crap everywhere, that wouldn't be the case. I made a pretty good show of telling him I'd work with him to make the office ideal. Right now he's complaining because the window he has to sit in front of is a distraction (get blinds, DUH) and he can't see because when he sits at the desk the light is behind him (get a small reading lamp or something, DUH!). Easy solutions in my opinion. It won't cramp me either because he's using the OTHER desk that I don't really use. So I'll have mine, he'll have his, and I'll have the damn kitchen back!
Other than that, I'm a tad too busy to think of much else so I'm going to leave off here. If I get around to it I might be back later on once I get home, we'll see. Depends on how things go there.
