Buy nothing day:
Jan. 24th, 2010 11:13 pmIt only worked because my mother was at church all day and hence I couldn't run to Lowe's. By about noon, I realized I needed a prybar because the hammer wouldn't suffice to take the trim off the wall. And whomever constructed the built in desk/shelves in this room? Yeah, they put the wallpaper behind the shelves and then made it so you can't pull the shelves out to take the wallpaper off, unless you take the trim off.*
Which is fine because I wanted to re-lacquer all the shelves after slapping up some fresh white paint. I just couldn't do any of that because of lack of prybar.
I did throw some more things away but I didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted. Which is fine because I ended up doing a bunch of classwork for my online courses instead. So I guess today WAS productive, it just wasn't what I had planned on doing.
Also, I was out of soy milk creamer. And AAA batteries.
*Ick. I just realized this means that NO ONE has dusted in the gaps between desk and wall in nearly twenty years. GODDAMN THAT IS GROSS.
