Tiredness
Ahha, I've just realised why I feel so lethargic - I went to bed at 2.50am and got up at 7am - for no particularly good reason - I spent late yesterday evening trying to catch up on my pile of admin, which is huge after moving house, 'cos of all the people I need to inform of my new address, as well as all the other bits I need to sort out.
I'm almost scared about this evening - I've got two different couples interested in the flat, neither of whom speak particularly good English, and one of whom sounds more dodgy the more I think about them - they don't want to put down a month's deposit, and while they say they're students they haven't yet organised what they're studying where. They also wanted to move in immediately. Hmm. guess I'll just have to wait and see what they're like in person.
The second couple sound much nicer. Guess this means I'm going to have to go home and tidy properly - my late night admin doing has resulted in there being lots of paper left lying round the living area, together with a huge suitcase - it won't take long to clear, but it needs doing to make the place look tidier/bigger.
Still, I'm not yet in the position of needing to grab the first person who comes along - I can afford this first month if I have to, and it's definitely worthwhile making sure I get someone I can live with happily. I'm thinking of sidestepping the issue this evening - I'm going to need to think on it overnight anyway, so I'll phone them back in the morning. Not sure how easy it'll be to say 'No, I don't think we'll get on'; but I'll find a way.
Odd, that it was last night that I really realised that I've been *living alone* since Sunday. Grr. mustn't get too used to it though, 'cos it won't last.
Now to the problem of lack of storage space for my bits and pieces - I'm strongly tempted to get them to give me a single bed, cos then I'd at least have room for a bookcase in my room.
I want a hug *and* I want some of my books from home - some comfort reading, but I've no idea where I can put them. Maybe it's time to play round with the cupboard that's being a side board - if I could take its doors off and insert the random bits of shelving that are sitting about, I might have created lots more storage space.....
