Yesterday's Orientation & Forced Fun was so dreadful that Frankie and I both said "Fuck this, I'm out" shortly after lunch. We made it home around 2:00, and as soon as I could I took two of Chunk's extra-special super-strong sleeping pills. They knocked me out for the rest of the afternoon slash early evening, then I woke up and finally watched 2022's Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration, then took two more of Chunk's sleeping pills at a reasonable time and got a great night of sleep.
I'm not sure what time I woke up this morning, but it was definitely before noon, because I remember refusing to get out of bed and start doing stuff until then. But then, oh yes, I got out of bed and did stuff! In no particular order, I vacuumed ALL of my carpet (except for under the bed, nightstand, comfy chair, end table, and desk), including the closet. I did a load of laundry, of course, just like I do every weekend. I deep-cleaned my bathroom sink & mirror. I organized. I did another load of laundry.
Most importantly, I finally realized that the painting I'm not allowed to move has a frame, and that frame can be used to display tiny toys! I put all ten of my Nebulous Stars figures up there, and they're very precarious but so far no one has fallen off!
I also realized that I can put other small toys on top of my door frame! Right now I have nine Cloudees, four Mixlings, and nine Doorables up there. Almost as soon as I finished placing them all, it occurred to me that it's actually very appropriate to have Doorables over my door, so I might need to re-think this display space. Actually, there's no "might' about it. One Cloudee has already fallen off, and Doorables are much more stable because they're a lot smaller. I might leave those four Mixlings up there, but the Cloudees need to go somewhere else and then that space will be available for more Doorables.
Oh yeah, and my room came with one more painting I'm not allowed to move! So maybe its frame could also be used to display some small toys.
Target and Amazon are both delivering other orders very soon, but of course I have $50-$60 in my carts. One thing in my Amazon cart is the Teen to Super Life Kara doll, who I should really go ahead and order now because she's only $18. So yes, I have in fact gone ahead and ordered her! Future Me will thank Right Now Me for this later.
I do need to seriously slow down on buying toys in general and dolls in particular, BUT my mental "might buy any payday now" list still includes Goreganizer Draculaura, Frankie's Day Out, Clawdeen 1.0, Abbey, Twyla, Toralei, and President Barbie. I also love all four Barbie Dream Besties, though they have not yet been released in this country. And I'd really like to buy six or more Mixlings sometime soonish.
And of course I could list several more toys I would buy if I didn't have to worry about money, but since I do, the only things I'm allowed to spend money on are dolls, Mixlings, and maybe something that's a really good deal, like Teen to Super Life Kara for $18. She's usually at least twenty-something dollars whenever I check. Damn, I'm so glad I ordered her for this price.
One thing I thought about doing was moving my altar items into a drawer, you know, so they would be hidden unless I opened the drawer specifically to work magic - or just to look at them. But then I decided, no, I love all of these items so much that I strongly prefer to have them on the desk where I can see them all the time. (Plus, I like that if you're not me you can't necessarily tell that it's an altar. It very much is, but it's an altar hiding in plain sight.)
So I have one entire drawer that is currently not being used for anything, which kind of bugs me a little. Other than that, though? My room has literally never felt as clean, orderly, efficient, and safe as it does right now, thanks to the work I put into it today.
