Things You Forget You Need

I am 2/3 moved into my new place! While this is a great accomplishment and I am SO close to being done with this horrible process, I have realized that I have forgotten to bring/buy some of the things I use most often. Most of this is kitchen stuff previously shared between 5 people that I only realized I didn't own after leaving. Other things are mine but I didn't think to bring them at first.

1. Wine Opener. I was so upset last night when I realized the one I had wasn't mine and there was none at the new place either.
2. Bathroom trash can. Seems important now that I think about it.
3. Lamp. I had only seen the new place in the daylight, until I moved in. And it was dark.
4. And I had a bed to put together. And realized there was no ceiling light.
5. Pot holders. So small. So simple. So forgettable until you try to drain your pasta.

I have learned my lesson. And will be going to Target tonight to get all of these things.

I Lost My Train of Thought

As it often does, my train of thought has decided to depart without warning. This happens to me at the worst possible moments, like in the middle of explaining to my boss why I have not yet finished that impossible spreadsheet he asked for just 5 minutes ago. Or when I finally get up the energy to walk downstairs and forget what amazing culinary concoction I was about to whip up.

This time, Post Grads, it affects you. I had an awesome post planned in my head. I spent my entire drive home from the office thinking about it. The title, the content, what picture I would use, the links I should include, everything.

THEN, as soon as I get home, and take my coat off to come share my brilliance with you all, BAM. It's gone. All gone. I really hope that my train of thought will return to me sooner rather than later, but for now I thought I would share with you all a small annoyance that is a part of my life.
