the matching ceiling light / pendant lights definitely read a lot fancier

Of course, they only have those on display in stores and not the vanity light (that still hasn't shipping >: ( ) so I have no idea how this is going to go

I really miss having a mirror in my bathroom

It's fucking cold >: (
I have a lot of garden stuff to do but it is very cold

Also the cost of lumber is fucking absurd and that really puts a damper on a lot of my plans

A 2x4 is fucking $9
How the fuck am I supposed to build anything when a god damned 2x4 is $9

Vanity light has gone on backorder

I will continue to not have a bathroom mirror for another month or something

Steel tubing is expensive, wood is expensive, building a bar for my kitchen out of cheap black pipe from amazon

Can't justify spending money to make a nice butcher block top, but I have a piece of plywood that will mmmmmmmmmmeh do the job

Found some leftover Ikea mirror tiles sitting in storage, shoved two of them into my bathroom vanity hole, I technically have a mirror in my house again

Went to Ikea, bought some barstools for kitchen bar, discovered a pretty solid backup vanity light should this Home Depot one not pan out. Also they apparently discontinued the 12" square frame that's perfect for records and ????? why Ikea please I needed just one how you gonna do me like that

Nixon, when you're in your late 30s and I'm in my early 20s you promise to let me borrow some of your pot?

Built some new garden boxes last night. I'm really fuckin dilly dallying on getting my garden planted this year. I'm like fuckin 3 weeks behind

Got a small contract from a friend to make him a desk, he wanted a big ol butcher block top, fine whatever, I got to keep the leftovers, turned them into a nice cutting board, which is good because my old one was really showing its age after five years

You can see a bit of the old one on the left there

Went to go buy plants today, figured I'd take care of some other shit while I was walking around outside. Got a decorative hanger for my house screwed into the brick in front of my house.

Went to replace the hose that I uhhhhh forgot to disconnect last winter, turns out it's corroded on there pretty fuckin good. Did a bunch of shit with PB blaster and vice grips and a breaker bar, and succeeded only in managing to break the supply line to the hose bib. So now I'm uhhhhh repairing plumbing again. Woo.

Shoveling compost all day in the sun has not been kind to my body
