Six Pennies

I realize that in my past blog post, I repeated my commentary on my flavoured vitamins from a previous entry. Oops.

We got our new furniture. We now have a couch and a loveseat from the thrift store. One of my roommates got a coffee table from his family. The Planned Parenthood office is changing location and is having an office sale, and we scored two chairs and a four-shelf locking filing cabinet.

I'm really excited about the filing cabinet. Because of my work, I have documents of a sensitive nature such as consent to release information forms. I'm sure it doesn't matter, as no one I work with would know what system I have in place, but if they did, I'm sure they would feel a bit more secure knowing their information was behind lock and key. It's a good home office addition.

We have proper curtains now, too. If you'll remember, we were using a set of bedsheets from a raffle win as curtains until recently. When I went into the store to buy them, I wasn't sure what the measurements were that I needed for the living room window. So I went to the bedding section and checked what the measurements were for a king sized set of sheets, since that's what we'd been using.

Since we were using that shoddy replacement for curtains, I started paying more attention to what other people use as curtains. I found a place where they were using a carboard box, and a few places that looked to be using tinfoil. Turns out there are worse substitutes than bedsheets.

Recently I found six pennies on the ground. In the past, I've blogged about my oddly good luck of finding the discontinued Canadian penny twice in fairly quick succession. But this time I found six on a sidewalk all in one spot. So weird.

A group of kind of "thug" themed people were walking behind me when I ran across these. I momentarily hesitated about jumping on them, in cased this might make myself look less "thug".

Didn't worry about it for too long. I am officially less thug and six pennies richer.
