I think I found my new home!

That's what I think too, between taking it down in one place and trying to put it up in another when I was tired and bleary-eyed and wet-handed on both occasions, you can imagine how many times I dropped the showerhead (it's a handheld with the hose kinda deal) and had one or the other end ofit swing into the side of the shower or bang into the tub. It's probably shot and I'll just get a new one. I've got to go to Lowe's tomorrow because the ugly fluorescent light bulb in the fixture in my walk-in closet burned out and I've got to replace it. I was hoping the stupid thing would last until I could replace the entire fixture with something better (read: NOT UGLY) but wouldn't you know it.

I'll probably just pick up another showerhead at Lowe's while I'm there. I've still got a gift card left to use and IIRC they have something similar to what I was using, and I really liked that one.

Speaking of ugly fluorescent tube lights, I can't just throw this dead bulb away, can I? Don't they have to be disposed of in some special way? I mean, is it okay for me to just stick it in the trash can and let them deal with it? They do take recyclables but I don't know about this stupid bulb.

Anyway - went straight to the apt after work and took apart two fullsize bookcases, a smaller shelf unit that used to be part of my desk, and the desk itself. Everything I could carry went to the dumpster, the larger bits of the desk will have to wait until I've got some extra muscle. I tried and tried and couldn't break down the hutch, it's probably mostly wooden dowels glued in that's holding it together, not hardware that I can actually remove. It's a shame because in pieces I could've easily carried it out and been done with it.

Well, possibly we'll just load that stuff at the very back of the truck and then pull the truck down to the dumpster and unload it there. That would be funny, loading up the truck at the door and then backing it around to the dumpster and unloading half of what we just loaded.

Tomorrow I'll run by Lowe's and then come back to the condo and work on cleaning the rest of the living room carpet and finding a place to sit the TV I just got, so I can unpack it and take the box and packing materials back to the apt and use it to transport a TV that's still in there. I guess while I'm at Lowe's I should ask if the fridge I want is part of their holiday sale, web site doesn't have a sale price listed. If it's not I think I'll actually be relieved since I won't feel any pressure to buy it now to get a better deal... I really do NOT have time to fool with moving the current fridge to rip out wall base and verify the space I've got without it. And it's not like they won't have another sale for the 4th of July.
