"Layla, You Got Me On My Knees"

Well, got another load of crap taken home. It amounted to about half of the clothes I own.

Yeah, that's right, half. I didn't have time to pack the other half. I somehow have managed to fill all three main closests in this apartment. I'm a freakin' clothes horse and I never even knew it. I mean, you wouldn't know it to see how I dress. I wear the same dozen or so shirts all the time. In the winter, I've got on my hoodie or one of my flannel shirts over those dozen shirts. I wear the same clothes all the time, meanwhile accumulating dozens of shirts and whatnot that I never wear.

So part of what I did this morning was to pare down some of my clothes. Sift through and discard those shirts which didn't fit or I didn't ever wear or think I'd wear. In the process, I found out I have plenty of collared short-sleeved shirts that'll be great to wear to work (I hope...man, I hope they don't want me to wear a tie every day. That'd suck). But I'll hopefully get some more clothes sorted tomorrow when I go back home with another load (it's easier to sort after they've been transported, 'cause that way I don't have to try to remember what was what when I get there).

Today ended up being pretty productive. I got my teeth cleaned, my eyes checked (they've gotten marginally worse), my hair cut, a binder with all the Yeti songs in it (and chords to them! Now I know what chords to play, even if that generally amounts to "some variation of G, C, and D, with the occasional F or Am or Em thrown in for fun"), and lunch with my grandmother. Here in a little while, Jess and Dom will arrive, and we'll go grab some Mexican food at Tarahumara's for a last hurrah. Then they'll take my couch. A splendid time is guaranteed for all.

The rest of the week is going to be busy. I still intend to get enough comics done that I don't have to miss an update while I move. I need three, really--tomorrow's, Friday's, and Monday's. That'll really cover me and give me time to get settled before I have to draw another comic in Virginia. But I need to get those done (and the rest of my applications sent out) while I still have access to the computer, and I really kinda need to get it and the desk taken home tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. We'll just have to see how many loads I can get done tomorrow.
