Another shopping and bus hopping day has left me very tired, and I did not have a good night sleep to begin with due to the skimpy excuse of a blanket I had and the twin-instead-of-full mattress. This meant, of course, another visit to Ikea to get a worthy blanket (will test it tonight), a chair for the desk I previously forgot to get, and floor lamp to bring some light into my life. I bought and exchanged a larger mattress, but it will only be delivered next Saturday, so I'll have to make do with this one for now. I've also completed assembling the desk. This just leaves putting the sofa together, though I'm rather inclined leaving this dubious honor to the first unlucky visitor. It's either that or rent. You decide.

There's a bicycle shop around the corner that has a sale going on. I need to see where to store the bicycle at work and then, maybe, go for it. However, given the scale of expenses I had this month, this and getting a proper PC may have to wait for next month. I do believe I've covered the major shopping needs for now, so it will be just food and occasional maintenance item from now on.
Hey, do they have electric bikes? With those, you could have a pretty easy commute to work.
ReplyDeleteAlso, before you spring for a bike (electric or otherwise), consider checking out Craigslist; I'm sure you can find a decent second hand bike there for a good price, and just let the bike shop tune it up for you. But I'd check electric for the length of travel you have to get to work.
DeleteThat's a good point, though you sometimes hear things about the people on Craigslist... I first need to check at the office if there's going to be a safe place to park them. Either way, budget wise it's next month.
DeleteSo long as you do the transaction in a reasonable manner, i.e. don't go to suspicious places, and preferably go with someone, then you should be fine. I've sold quite a few things on Craig's list myself, it worked out very well.
