Step 92: Build a Bookcase

So, my weekend was okay. Valentine's Day came and went and all I can really say about it is at least my car stereo didn't get stolen. That happened a couple years ago. All I got for Valentine's Day was a gaping hole in my dash where the Awesome Stereo I'd gotten as a birthday gift exactly two years prior had once been.

Speaking of birthdays! It's been mine for 35 minutes! I'm torn about it, really. The biggest part of me is excited because it's my birthday and yay me! But there's another part of me that's a little sad I haven't made much of myself these past 27 years. I suppose everyone has the Magical Age where they feel like they'll finally be an Adult, and for me that age was 27. And now, here I am, just hours from being That Age, and... :\

But, I'm ever the optimist, so I think that rather than Being There already, my 27th year will be all about Getting There. Who knows what that means, but we'll find out, yeah?

I got a fantastic L-shaped desk for my birthday, and I'll spend part of tomorrow putting it together. My old desk got moved to my nieces' room, and now I'm using a card table. The new desk is glorious and I love everything about it. There will be pictures when it's set up.

I spent part of today putting together a bookcase I've had for months now. I bought two of them, but only put one together, and today I finally resolved to put the other together. Fortunately for me, my two-year-old niece, T, was available to help. Each piece was marked with a letter, so she found them as I needed them (A-M), and then put the wooden dowels in the right holes for me. I don't know what I would've done without her! Needless to say, it was adorable, and I'm exponentially cooler in her eyes because I let her do a "big girl" job.

Still waiting of the money from the job I did. I expect it'll be here either this Friday or next.

Ten, 0, zero.
