Just for now



there is a new pervasive term in the household since guy and i moved in to our new house in a new, very small town. We find ourselves saying it all the time.

things that are "Just for now..."

-the odd-sized platters and mugs we don't use being stored in the cabinet over the fridge.
-the fact that i don't have my own keys for the front door or the car.
-the rug from the old bathroom placed in the kitchen.
-the shell-design shower curtain that came with the house, that sticks to us while we shower.
-the too-small lampshade we bought yesterday that sits atop guy's gargantuan groovy 60s table lamp.
-my broken-from-the-move genuine vintage mid-century floor lamp that is now partially attached to guy's camera tripod, with it's broken base lodged under the stairs.
-the boxes currently being stored underneath the staircase that haven't been opened yet.
-all the crap in the garage that's too heavy to bring up to the house.
-the dash of my car having no lights, so you can't read the speedometer at night.
-all the books stacked on the floor in the den and on every windowsill.
-the mismatched plastic outdoor chairs that currently reside on the patio.
-the fact that i'm a furious misanthropic bitch at least 4 hours a day, broken up into several 5-minute rages.
-cable only in the living room.
