Even before the Pandemic and America going on lockdown, I was going to engage in some reorganizing of the house. With it officially being mine entirely, there’s going to be changes but more importantly…serious cleaning. I decided to go with the master bedroom because I grew tired of sleeping on the couch, which also got hard on my back. I guess I found a painful gap between the cushions.
I stumbled upon this partially used bottle of Purell® that I most likely scored from work. It was misplaced back in the day when this crap wasn’t going for its weight in toilet paper! Then I remembered, I think I have a huge quart to refill this at my desk/cube! No bother, this should be enough to have on hand until HEB has it in stock.
The end of March closes out with a new Category on my site:
Operation: Manhattan
It will be posts and updates on my house’s renovation to modernize it, make it a great, tasteful bachelor pad. I may share my living space again one day, just not for a long time and given how healthy the Austin market is, I need to watch out for hobosexuals. It’s a term my new friend Debbie coined. A hobosexual is someone who only dates you in order to find a place to live. You gotta’ be really careful if they have children too!
Why Manhattan? Well, I couldn’t find any particular buildings which were renovated I liked and had a one-word name. The borough of Manhattan was the most fitting for my generation though. When I was growing up, New York City, especially Times Square, was horrible. Allegedly the whole city smelled like piss, porno theaters were out in the open in Times Square (see Taxi Driver) and about eight murders happened a day. New Yorkers were rather blasé about these developments. I’m not thrilled with the main asshole behind the city’s makeover yet you have to admit, Manhattan is pretty bitchin’ these days.
How are things going for the inaugural entry? I’m glad to report the master bedroom is easily two-thirds done! The majority of my trademark shoes are on the shelving, laundry is put away, dusting and vacuuming have made progress, the master closest is 90% and I think all will be 95-99% well before the end of April! The guest bathroom has always been under control so I will never be ashamed of letting someone use it. When I get bored of the master bedroom, I have a humongous LEGO® project in the garage and I pitch some crap out from the living room. The latter will be next for I want to have people (namely ladies) over to watch TV and whip ass on my PS4 EA NHL 20 game (a story for next month). Hell, I want Nancy and José to spend the night here! I sure as hell owe them at least twice.
