New shelves, with drawers in

beccaelizabethToday I slept, let the furniture guy in to finish the drawers on the new shelves delivered yesterday, and slept some more.
Also checked tumblr. Which doesn't feel much like being awake. It's just picture picture picture, mostly same.
The new shelves are good, I think. They are deliberately the exact same size as the old shelves so they'll fit, but they are half drawers now. I am hoping they will be Enough Drawers, so I can put my clothes all away at once. Also that I can get the hang of the drawers going in and out properly, at the moment there's a trick to the angles. But they do go all the way in, unlike the old drawers, so already they are an improvement. And the shelves are spaced so I can put my storage boxes on them, the ones with the stars and the ones with the patterns, and then they'll have somewhere to be that isn't the floor. Or I could pile books in them like usual. And the top has like bookends around it, like a half shelf extra, so I can use it for stuff that wont fall down. A whole extra shelf would have hit the ceiling, so this should work better. It is like I ordered and like it was in my head and makes straight lines horizontally with the drawers next to it and is just pretty good stuff. And also I bought many pretty patterns of drawer knob and they look pretty good too. One goes round and round a bit cause it's a different sort than the others, but it has a stars pattern, so I wanted it.
At some point soon I will stop just staring at it and start cleaning it ready for use, and some time after that I will even use it. It's not that it's dirty, I vacuumed the drawers and there's not dusty wood stuff in it even that I can see, it's just new and therefore suspicious.
Also at some point soon I will get up and eat an actual food, not just ribena and three crackers. Stress has my schedule all over the place so sleep won today cause much of this week sleep has been elusive. Still, humans need food.
I did not go out anywhere this evening because last few weeks have been Too Much and I wanted a holiday. I realise doing nice things is meant to be a holiday, but, I tired, I stayed.
which was a bit boring
but I got actual adventures dreams today, where horrible things happen but with a plot and spaceships and team Torchwood and Tosh in a wheelchair except then the gravity gets turned off so she's flying. There was a space colony being sent off but come the day most of the people didn't arrive and the ones that did were mostly awful people who had reason to get away from Earth forever. So history said that someone sabotaged the colony ship, just to kill this one guy, and that was the end of space colonisation for a generation. But I wanted a colony ship for my time travel efforts, because if you're going to save ghosts from history you've got to put the no longer dead people somewhere. So I went to nick the ship and fake the data, but while I was there Torchwood arrived in a salvaged spaceship of much higher tech level, and something something plot.
... it wasnt really as coherent as that, but compared to nightmares made of feelings of impending doom and paperwork with the wrong boxes ticked, I'll take the running around averting possible explosions.
I think my life needs to have more life in it, but then I cancel bits because I cant always manage this much. It's a puzzler.
