YE OLDEN 3 Things Make a Post

singedsunThis was an extended weekend for many of us Americans due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I got very few holidays off throughout the year, because my company trades globally, but this is one of them. Matt and I managed to get a little bit of cleaning/reorganizing done although it's by no means the amount we need to finish. I'm tired of my books being in books through from the shift from upstairs to downstairs shelves, so we finally carved out some space so we can start digging through boxes and putting books up. Maybe by the end of next week I can actually start getting those books out.
As part of this weekend we also finally got rid of the crib that we'd been holding onto since I found out my little sister is pregnant. Their roommate finally moved out so they have their nursery back to themselves and can prepare for the actual baby by getting the crib set up and ready to go. That does mean I have no time at all to be sending out invitations to her baby shower, so I need to do that like THIS week.
I need to figure out how to get rid of our pool table. It's a bear to carry ANYWHERE and I kind of want it gone more than I want to make any money off of it. But I also know that it's worth money and we could use money, so I'm going have to clean all our junk off of it (It's kind of cat-land right now with their beds and toys) so I can take pictures to post somewhere. There's also a bunch of other junk furniture that just needs to be taken away away. The free large trash people never answered back Matt when he called, so I guess I'll have to call a service, which is real annoying.
In the good news column (other than the minor cleaning/organizing that happened this weekend) we got the notice that the money for Matt's totaled car was delivered to the bank. So another few days for that to clear and we might be able to go out this weekend and replace his car. A used one this time, same make/model but something very close to the one he lost which doesn't take us another extra year to pay off, and will probably significantly lower our monthly payments overall. Ultimately, for such a disastrous wreck this has paid off about as well as it could have with Matt uninjured and the car completely paid for.

halfamoon challenge in February. There's a post up with all the prompts so that people can plan what they might want to write in February if you're that kind of person. There's also two sets of prompts one that's lunar/moon-themed and one that's more women specific if that's your thing.
If you don't know abouthalfamoon, it's a challenge to create for canon female characters between February 1st and 14th. We'll have an open prompt-meme on the 1st of February that people can contribute too and then a friending meme on the 8th as people get into the swing of things. We'll post the prompt(s) each day and people can post as they finish things.
For at least the first half of the month ashalfamoon runs, I'll be focusing my Femslash February ideas there. I think I'll pick up a trope bingo or ladies bingo card for the other half of the month and see how much I can commit to for the whole month. I know I'm supposed to be editing in January and February, but that's really fallen by the wayside so far this month as life kind of had to come first. But for the last two weeks of the month, we'll see what I can get done.
