Drained

Thank goodness its Thursday. Tomorrow I don't have to work and I am relishing in the thought of sleeping in. I deserve it. The move went very well, but I have been going non-stop since Friday: shopping, cleaning, organizing, commuting, working. I am just so drained right now. Case in point - falling asleep at 8:30pm on the couch while reading. I now realize why people take a day off work to move.

I just don't have it in me to write a well rounded post so here is a list of things that I have learned this week:

*Having sex instead of grocery shopping, although it may seem like a good idea at the time, really f's up your food for the week
*Living on vending machine food may seem appealing at first but in all reality after day 2 it is not that great
*Scrubbing the bathroom with bleach products is necessary but be sure to leave the exhaust fan on
*Eating mac n' cheese and drinking a beer is not always white-trashy, even if you are doing it alone
*Even though you look like Norman Bates from Psycho, hand washing dishes with gloves on will save your hands
*Slip covers tend to look like loose skin if not smoothed & tucked in between the cushions
*Pot holes disappear when it rains
*There is no such thing as a reverse commute
*One must know the Cubs home game schedule, especially the evening games
*Check locations of street lamps near the bedroom window before your first night
*Drinking beer while doing dishes makes it actually seem like fun
*Buying decorative throw pillows is not as easy or exciting as you'd think
*The Swiffer Wet-Jet saves lives
*Walk-in closets are just as great as they seem
*Cable is not over-rated
*Hard flat sandals, although they look hot are not necessarily the best footwear for city walking
*Riding the bus isn't scary, at least at 6pm on a Tuesday
*Having a sex drawer is amazing
*A boy that likes you will help you unpack/clean/set up things
*Emailing said boy about work stuff is probably not the best idea; it is likely that he will not respond
*The Piano Man is Billy Joel
*Having your TV stand be an empty box isn't as terrible as becoming broke trying to furnish an apartment
*I have a major attraction to the color red
*Using a screw driver to put up curtain rods does not work and creates unnecessary holes in the walls.
*Older refridgerators make interesting noises
*All stoves/ovens don't have push buttons near the clock
*I don't know how I survived college
*Living alone is worth every penny
