Today we headed back over to the old house. We had started separating stuff into piles, one for Goodwill, one for the dump, and one to keep. I started moving the stuff I want to keep upstairs and I lost count of how many trips I made up and down the stairs. So many heavy boxes. I'm worried I'm going to feel it in the morning. Slowly but surely we are making progress. There is the pressure to make significant progress in the near future because my mom wants to sell the house and when I start the next semester of school my motivation and time is going to disappear. That means I need to pick up the pace.

Tonight at work I cleaned the first set and then spent the rest of the night reading the latest PostSecret book and playing Fantasy Life. I need to dig out the other PostSecret books and read through those again. I read the website every week and the entire project still fascinates me. It's just such a simple idea yet so great at the same time.

In Fantasy Life I continued on the path of becoming a master angler. I progressed quite a bit tonight, unlocking the ability to buy my first house and opening up a few different areas, allowing me to engage in a bit of combat. I am now continuing to fish while exploring the world and saving up for a house by the water. There is a cheaper house in the middle of the beginning city in the artisan district but I thought it would make more sense as an angler to live by the water, even if the house is twice as expensive.

I had a brief conversation with my friend after cleaning shows because he is in town and came to the theater with his family to watch Unbroken. He wanted me to have lunch tomorrow with our other friend's mother but I'm going to be working. He managed to find the two days of the week I work. I'm not sure when he is leaving town but hopefully we'll get a chance to hang out before that happens.

Thanks to the holiday traffic at the theater I actually got to work a full shift, for the first time in awhile. Would have been nice with my friend in town if that wasn't the case, but it is nice being able to put a little bit more money on my paycheck.

I just got distracted watching a show about Bing Crosby on PBS and it is now just after 2:30AM. That is going to make waking up in the morning for work suck a little bit more than it would have if I made it to bed an hour ago but I can't do anything about that now. Maybe I'll get sent home early and I can take a nap. Tomorrow night we're going over to my dad's house for Christmas. A nap in between would be okay with me.
