The countdown begins
In 10 days, I will be boarding my flight to Copenhagen, and beginning my year abroad. Hmm, that's weird.
I saw Garden State tonight with my friend KT, who graciously postponed our 7 p.m. showtime to 9:30 so I could meet with a potential buyer for the Miata. The movie was beautifully filmed, with a fantastic soundtrack. I recommend it to anyone who has been on psychiatric medication--and who hasn't these days?
Not much to report. Tomorrow's tasks include:
- Getting my car inspected.
- Calling the embassy (again, sigh).
- Picking up my "paint your own pottery" coffee mug from last week.
- Meeting my friend AA for coffee in the afternoon.
All of which means I will need to get up before noon--a rather unique situation this summer.
Question of the day: what is a person's obligation when in possession of a friend or ex's things? In the past few weeks, I've come up with a pile of stuff that belongs to people I'm not in immediate contact with. My guess is that they've forgotten I have the item, and certainly are in no dire need of it. Before I go to Sweden, do I:
- Need to make sure these things are returned?
- Notify people that I have these items, and let them know how to pick them up?
- Save/toss as I see fit?
Opinions welcome.
