luck

not having much lately. everything i ordered online, early, isn't available, or they never got my order, or some catastrophe. i'm talking to you, IKEA! maybe if the phone rep knew that their system had dropped all Internet orders since the 13th, they would have posted something on the website maybe?

so i get to go to IKEA again on the bus. yay. on my birthday. yay. i think this means i get some cinnamon rolls as a consolation prize.

i got an order of soap and bath stuff today and so my whole house is gently scented.

i am covering all white painted surfaces with contact paper. magical, nearly invisible, smudgeproof contact paper.

i got the bill from Con Ed for the utility deposit. it's huge, but they put it in an account and pay 2.6% on it. i can't even get that from a bank, so maybe i should give them more of my dough. they have been quite nice, actually.

what else? trying to decide what to do about computer/printer at the shop. i have a regular old inkjet, and an all-in-one black and white laser printer. which one to bring?

got in some more maga/zines too. i'm really not sure if they'll make any money, but i want to carry them. amazon, bless them, really does suck up business from the booksellers. my only hope is to carry titles that are not easily found. it's hard!
