Wait? People iron their towels?

I have a bat on one side, and a duct tape wrapped cane on the other. It's a his and hers arrangement. We have had to grab them. We always live in horrible neighborhoods. I'm not sure I could not have a bat or something handy because of my poor neighborly experiences.

Roaches. I recently had a horror story apartment in Seattle. It looked beautiful because they redid everything. The first night the little creepy crawlies came out of the walls.

I now look for apartments with a flashlight. I check under sinks, around exposed pipes, and all. One lady said I looked very professional, but I think she meant very nutty. I just never ever want to deal with that again. There's simply not enough boric acid powder in the world.

Smells, noises, and dingy paint I can deal with.

I never get tired of steampunk stuff.

Wait. I hit hot, but then changed my mind, when I thought about the more robust activities that might carry on in a bed.

My towels get reused by the hubby, or I, until they don't smell nice and fresh. That takes a bit, but we hang them to dry in between use.

I have a small trunk in my bedroom. I wear clothes once, then fold them up, and place them on top the trunk. That way I know they aren't clean, like laundry clean. Then I rotate other clothes on and off the trunk pile. After a couple of wearings, I toss the trunk clothes into the wash. I don't really do much that would get me dirty, so this isn't a problem.

We didn't think we could weed out our books because we were simply book people. It was part of our identity. Then we had to do 4 moves in a year and a half about six months apart. That will make you really reevaluate what's important.

I am down to one shelf of books. All of them are reference books, and diy style things. I rediscovered the library for everything else. If the library doesn't have it, I buy it, then donate it to them when I am done.

I actually feel great about it. I never thought I would be comfortable with so few books, but it's very freeing.

I go to http://www.thespicehut.com/ up in Bellingham, WA. There is also Market Spice in Pike Place Market. Either one is amazing, with a similar experience. I recommend them both, if you get over this way.

I was just over at the cosmetics database looking for toothpaste, and Tom's came up safe. I was going to switch when my current tube ran out. I guess it's just fate that this post came out about it, now.

I cringe every time I see a book gutted like that. I can't help it.
