:( the bed is so bad at the place we're staying, that we pulled out the hide-a-bed on a whim and it's actually more comfortable. That doesn't mean it's great ... it's just better.

Stark, do mean a trundle bed or a bed that is stored vertically?

When I hear "hide a bed" I think about these:

Haha awesome. No, I mean the ones that are in a couch and you have to pull off the cushions and pull the mattress out. My parents always called it a hide-a-bed, but sofa bed would probably be more accurate.

Gotcha. Usually those things are pretty springy and loud, but I have slept on a few that aren't half bad.

:| Had some thunder taken away from me today...but oh well.

:) The work continues at a fever pitch.

:x Can't find a reliable adhesive. Pink paste isn't strong enough. Gorilla Glue expands too much. Anyone recommend a strong glue that doesn't change color or expand?

That's probably going to depend on what you're assembling.

:D We unloaded the U-Haul into the storage unit in Buxton, and managed to snag a few books, some DVDs and a USB mouse.

:cry: Wasn't able to find my Ouya yet, and there's still a few things I wanted to get but my Mom and brother were on me about how I should concern myself less with snagging a few things of mine and getting everything in the unit. And yet if I did just that, I wouldn't have been able to grab ANYTHING of mine. And like the last time I was able to snag a few things, I feel like I didn't grab enough of the right things (aside from my Ouya, I wanted to grab my Wii but forgot to grab my games).

:) Rode my bike to Avon today. Bought a notebook from the Dollar Tree and walked through Food Lion (which is currently doing some renovations) working on my grocery list for tomorrow. Got my list down to around $43 worth of food (which isn't as little as you think since I've got some food already and that's about at most a week's worth, maybe less).

:( Had to give up so much, like giving up on making soup (of the three meals I planned on making, it was the cheapest, only costing about $8 and change to make).

:?: Tomorrow's my last paycheck from Disney, and it's only worth $90. Gotta get a job! But so far, while no one's open it seems like everyone's taking applications. So any job I do get won't start for a few weeks at best.

:( The moment when you wake up up in the middle of the night, warm, uncomfortable, thirsty, hungry and like you slept for hours only to find out you have slept.... for thirty minutes.

Yep.

:D - Found out the new science teacher is a gamer and her fiancé is a retro collector. We straight up had a conversation about the Uncharted series and she really knew what she was talking about. Thank you maternity leave.
