We need a new computer chair. Nobody uses it much for sitting at the computer, but it does get used as a spare chair in the kitchen. It’s broken, and we’ve been watching Freecycle for ages but nothing has come up that isn’t also broken! I’m starting to think that shopping online for home office furniture might be a good approach. There’s a purple basic office chair for $65, but there are also some that are so expensive you have to e-mail for a quote! (I’m assuming they’re a few hundred dollars, but I don’t know much about office furniture.) That site has other kinds of furniture too, not just office furniture but also furniture for every room in the house…just in case you decide to throw out all your furniture and start fresh.

My friend Cricket has a website for a meme/project she started: it’s called Before I’m Gone. I am going to send in this list of ten things I’d like to do before I die. My list is focused on things that are actually achievable now rather than requiring new technology to be developed or for me to have skills I should have started learning as a child.

• I’m worrying about my corset never coming and having been swindled out of $125. I am just too trusting, and this really shows it. I hope my Better Business Bureau complaint helps, and I hope PayPal will reopen the investigation because their 45-day limit for claims shouldn’t apply for a custom item like this. But I hate that I got cheated.
• I’m worrying about the diamond earring that I carelessly dropped down the drain last night. I saw it down there and tried to get it out but it vanished. I took apart the sink, pulled out all the crap in there (two long-haired people make for a messy sink), and tried to paw through it. Now I see why they call it graywater - ewwww. I must have spent at least an hour searching, but I can’t imagine where it went. It was so tiny. It was a gift, and I’m actually more upset about this than you might expect. I haven’t thrown away the hairball yet, maybe if I dry it out or something the earring will turn up. But now I only have five and I’m really upset.
• I’m worrying about working the overtime tonight when I just want to go home and hide in my panic and worries. (It occurs to me that I did not put my anti-anxiety med in my box this week. No wonder I’m a nervous wreck.)
• I’m worrying about having possibly accidentally ordered two free subscriptions to Cruise Travel magazine, in addition to the one I paid for this morning and then canceled this afternoon upon finding the free offers.
• I’m just worrying and sad and all that. And it’s not like any of it even matters. But I just feel like I am having a constant medium-intensity anxiety attack, like I might cry at any time. It’s the lack of meds, I know it is. But I’m still freaked out.
• I’m worried that I will never ever lose any weight.

But I did get The Sims: Superstar for $5 at EB-Games yesterday.
