Welcome to Columbus

Long story short.
Must've run over something on the highway? Had a flat tire (rear) that we noticed once I parked at the apartment for the first time. I was due for new tires anyway soon-ish bc they were pretty worn and dad didn't think they were good tires at all anyway. Steph came by to help so moving was Super fast! We were all starving, needed to find me mattress, get basic necessities for the apartment, and needed tires. So we went to Wal-Mart which had 3 of those things.  While the tires were getting done, new Goodyear as opposed to a brand I've never heard of, we ate at Subway at Wal-Mart, and got necessities. A LOT OF STUFF.

Went to mattress store, found one for a good price (it is soooo plush pillow top) and it was to be delivered Saturday evening.

Dad set up stuff and then he left to go visit family friends NE of Columbus. Steph and I did more shopping...Tuttle Mall. Got the best sheets ever after being so frustrated. 1500 thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, coastal-ish blue-gray for 35$ at a Kiosk. SO SOFT. We got back and put it in the washer a few apartment buildings down. Waited for Delivery people for Mattress. They were really late so we couldn't grab din with Kait and her mom. It finally arrived at 9pm. Then we found out the frame dad set up for the mattress was the wrong size...so a full bed is now on a queen frame until further notice...pretty much until I get muscles around to help with it, like get a new frame or something.  Dad says the mattress people may have been lying to me and just wanted my money cus it probably does fit a full, I looked at it just now and I think dad may be right but at the time I was so tired and now I'm by myself and don't have anybody with muscles around to help me move the mattresses and fix my frame...and I have no tools. I need tools. Then we went to Target and Kroger. I made dinner. watched half a movie, passed out.

This morning we went to Easton. I bought jeans and two candles.

We went to a used furniture place (very close to my apt), I got a set of dishes there that I think have a lot of character.  They look a little older but I wanted white ish plates but then the whole apartment is white so this is off white. The style is a little mature for me perhaps but for the price of like 35$ I'm pretty pleased.  Although when I went to Wal-Mart today I saw some I liked for the same price but it was a little generic I guess...that's what I tell myself.  But really, that store had some pretty cool things, there are these bar chairs that are really nice but I'm waiting for the price to go down in a few weeks so in about two weeks I'm going back to see what else they have...I mean there is a lot I still need.

Mmmmm then she left so I was alone for the first time in Columbus. Chitchatted on phone, did laundry, busywork, watched a movie.  Then I decided to go to Wal-Mart to get more things like basic groceries, a humidifier cus it's dry and it's making it hard for me to sleep right now cus I'm sick, mattress pad, etc. I got a little lost. I've spent way too much this weekend and it's freaking me out but I mean it's all useful things.  There's still more I have yet to get but this is good for now.  Also my car is making weird thumping noises but it's too dark for me to see anything and we'll see how it goes.

Time warner comes sometime between 8am-noon tomorrow. And I think I'm going up to New Albany to sunbathe and stuff with Vanessa. Something like that?

So much going on. So tired. Sick. Plans. Boredom. Busy. AHHHHH! Hello, Columbus.
