"Making a list and checking it twice."

"Making a list and checking it twice." 

Decisions, decisions, I'm almost done with my 'things I need' list, if it was up to me I would already buy some off the  stuff or order them. I know already what to buy at Ikea, it will be at bed, laminate and perhaps some other things. But the bed and the laminate is the main thing at Ikea. The plan is to go on Thursday, and silly I am I was thinking it was already Wednesday today. I mentioned it aswell on Facebook, oh well.

It's been a calming day, I thought everyone is calm around my moving, (the staff from Humanitas) so, then why not me? I have alot of things in my head what I would already like to do, (working and planning ahead) but the staff members are telling me to wait, they always want that I wait. I'm calm though, it's just I like something to do while I'm getting a new house. I saw a lovely couch for such a nice price, but I have to wait. Yep, I tried some couches today, and they all seemed so hard to sit on, or is it the fact that I forgot how a couch sits. 


I don't have a couch in my room, and here at Humanitas there ain't couches either, only a few comfort desk chairs. I would like my furniture to be good and not half good, but aswell for a nice price. Some furniture I don't mind but a bed and a couch must be comfy and suitable. It's gotta be cheap, but comfy. Today I totally forgot my appointment with Paula, I was cooking and while I was cooking my delicious dinner a resident came up to me and informed me about the appointment. Strange though cause I asked yesterday the secetary when I had a next appointment with Paula, and she told me Thursday. 

I stopped my cooking for a while and went to her, she told me that I could finnish my dinner first and then afterwards we can have a 30 minute talk, cause her next appointment was at seven. It was already late, so. I finnished my dinner and went to my appointment, I informed her what I have been doing the last few days and told her the latest news. Paula was worried about my 'list,' it was all to expensive. It made me worried aswell, I told her that I  have been really busy with searching for the cheapest of the cheapest stuff. Together we searched for cheaper stuff and second hand stores, we found one second hand store what we will visit together upcomming Thursday. 


Paula told me aswell to buy just a matras to sleep on, just for the very first month. She was worried I won't come around with my money. I told her that is an idea but things like a second hand washing machine or a oven is in my eyes not a good option to buy, if I would buy a second hand washing machine and it will break in a month or sooner, then I would have to buy a new one again. Then it's better to buy a cheap 'new' one, rigth? I understand Paula's worries but I'm really carefull if it comes to buying things, specially now! I wont walk in a store and just buy, buy and buy, oh no. I'm already a bit worried about ordering or buying the things I need, "Do I really need it?" I think then.

I will search further these comming days, and Thursday visiting Ikea. I will have a list ready then. Paula wasn't to worried though, she told me we can start actually next week when I got the keys, then I have to get busy. The first week of September Paula wants me to get out of Humanitas, cause otherwise I will have to pay double rent. Tomorrow I'm planning to visit my Dad, last Sunday was his birthday but I didn't visit him then. I had my reasons for that, all Uncles and Aunts would have been there and would have been asking about Canada, and why this and why that. I know I should have go and should have stand up for myself, but I wasn't ready for them. 


They wouldn't have stop talking about the item 'Canada,' and even though they wouldn't have talked about it, they still would have give me the 'eye.' So yeah, better and good that I didn't went, I know my family. My Dad knows already that I have a new house, he will be excited to see me.

sjon..a second hand washer and oven is not a bad idea..many ppl buy these things and have years and years of good service. just be careful where you buy it!!

I was planning to have a peek today on second hand sites, just I sometimes wonder why people sell such items, maybe one little button is missing or something else.

you know sometimes people are moving and just cant take it, or theyre getting a newer model though there may not be really anything wrong with the other. lots of reasons. and of course there are dishonest ppl who are selling things that dont work...

It's either you trust the people or you don't, it's sometimes a risk to buy from other people. Although you can always ask them, but still.
