Falling into Place.

After four hours spent building a desk that should have taken a total of 30 minutes to put together....I now have a functioning, though semi wobbly desk in my room. And it has made a world of difference. I haven't had a desk in a room, since college and not writing in bed feels good.





Of course, the 'whole putting the thing together' ordeal was brutal. I'm awful with tools and decided two hours into my 'why the fuck are there so many screws for such a small desk...and what is this metal thing...a shelf, the back...i'm losing it" rant, to call McAbs back to put the thing together (lets be honest, I kind of just wanted him in my house again. It felt nice). But I didn't, for several reasons, and instead called Cool Ass Dude (who was the previous owner) so he could walk me through the building process. Despite having four screws left over, the desk is at least upright! So yay, me.



I was a little hesistant that having a desk in my room would take up a lot of space but it fits so nicely in the corner, I'm not sure how i've gone this long without one. The new addition is a small accomplishment that I am pretty proud of. I mean the amount of writing alone, i've gotten down since Saturday can vouche for this.





In other news, I am going home this Saturday for Thanksgiving. The managers put a hault on anyone requesting the holidays off, but I sort of stomped into the office and told the store manager that I'd already purchased tickets to go home and that Thanksgiving is the only holiday I am able to go home for. She said it was okay, this time, but next year (like that's gonna happen) I won't be allowed to request Thanksgiving week off. I'm working on not being their next thanksgiving so i'm sure this wont be a problem.





Of course, I am very excited to be heading home. I need a break from my new york life and everything around me. I'd like to go home, relax, spend time with my family and come up with a game plan as to what I need to do in the next few months to change my current situation. I hate that my life sounds like a record on repeat, but I need a new job, I need to meet people, i'd even like to try the dating (because having a uber crush on McAbs is not healthy; despite how tenderly he treated the things and people in my home. I hate that he has a girlfriend).



My home life is falling into place, i like my friends and my growing photography hobby. I like my morning routines, and wriitng late at night. I like a lot of things about my life currently, but I know that I desire more stability in areas that I am going to have to work my butt off to attain. Which i'm willing to do, after my small break from it all in South Carolina with my family.
