So, the last components I needed for the new computer came just a few minutes ago. Getting prepped to start putting crap together. Wish me luck.
I've had to move my build space to a small table in the art room (aka the dining room) because Patrick moved all the stuff from on top of the fridge and in the cabinet to the kitchen counter so he could remove the cabinet. Because the fridge we bought is too tall for the space (which we knew). Unfortunately the cabinet doesn't want to be moved. Two of the screws (one in the corner connecting it to the wall, the other on the opposite side connecting it to the adjoining cabinet) are stripped and won't come out. Grrr. The fridge comes tomorrow some time. This cabinet has to go.
And we can't destroy it because we don't own it. It will have to go back up whenever we decide to move out of here. I figured the landlady wouldn't be too mad if we took it down as long as it went back up but if we have to pry the stupid thing off the wall stuff is going to get damaged.
Also: my novel is now at around 65,000 words. I'm aiming to hit 80k by the end of the month and wrap it up. I've read that's a good length for YA. The thing completely sucks. Like it's so horrible I cringe thinking about it but I still love it. Mostly I love little bits and pieces of it. I'm going to have to take the proverbial hatchet to it though. Which, amazingly, I'm actually looking forward to.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that after we got back from buying the fridge yesterday we found the ice maker working just fine and everything super cold. I'm not sure if it will freeze over again but so far it's been working fine. Figures, lol.
EDIT 2: The computer is built. So far everything is running wonderfully. I started the install for Sims 3. With all the expansion packs it will take the better part of a day to get them all installed. Then I left Patrick to mess around with it. He does not like Windows 8, lol. I pretty proud of myself. And it wasn't that hard at all. My back and head are killing me though from leaning over it and crap. Time to relax in my room. Maybe read a little, do some writing.
