T: Tonight, I'm getting ready to go home tomorrow! Which, if I think about it too much, really means I'm just getting this place ready for when I come back.

H: Have a good trip home! I wonder if you'll see this before you get back to PA.
H: I'm eating the rest of a Red Robin burger.
H: MMM
H: and taking a break
H: I start working full time as a research assistant at the lab in a little over a week.
H: So, I am trying to organize my house, as I know it will not happen once I start working so much.
H: I guess you could say things are going well at the lab.
H: they are.
H: The pay is shit tho, and I kind of like my lazy Microsoft work.
H: So, I find I'm feeling a little loss over the freedom of time.
H: I'm glad to have consistent money and benefits, tho.

H: Tonight I bought a craftsman tool box.
H: I have a little bit of buyer's remorse.
H: Those things aren't cheap.
H: NEVERTHELESS, it is sturdy enough to outlive me and now I have a place to put all my tools and doodads.
H: I've got an astonishing amount of doodads, some I can't identify or remember from whence they came.
H: I can't believe I tried to fit it all into my little tote toolbox -- the fact is, it didn't fit and tools sort of spilled over into the cupboard.
H: the toolbox takes up space, which bugs me a little, but it also makes space elsewhere.
H: That's good I think.
H: Next on the list is bins. Lots o' bins.
H: My "storage" stuff is in boxes, which has worked fine enough.
H: but boxes are kind of organic and decompose over the years.
H: they don't stack well, even though they seem like they should.
H: if I had everything in bins, my closet would be a model of organization.
H: woo.

H: tired now tho.
H: have a nice flight.
H: raining like MAD here. Really coming down, aka, miserable to be outside.
H: Don't recommend it. No.

T: Now THAT was completly uncalled for! Oh, how I pine for a Red Robin burger. Thus far my travels in Pittsburgh have not yieled a RR equivalent, try as I might to find one, though.
T: I just may have to get a banzai burger while I'm at home...

T: That is most excellent. I've never regretted buying tools. Tools are one of the few items where I've regretted NOT buying one (recipricating saw, for example).
T: So I say, if you have doodads where you can't remember where you got them, then you're doing it right.
