Not lighting the stove really isn’t working anymore. I sat here from morning until night, and by the end my feet were practically numb from the cold.
Of course, there’s a reason I haven’t started it up: I’ve had no time. The whole day has been swallowed by office work, from first thing in the morning straight through to evening. If only someone could help me get the stove going. Xiaobao would be perfect for that. Unfortunately, we’re not in the same workplace. If we were, it would be so convenient. Just thinking about it is enough to make me happy.
Another parcel arrived today. It should be the clothes Xiaobao bought for me. She often gets these sudden ideas and starts buying things. To be honest, I don’t always agree with her taste in clothes for me, but having someone buy clothes is still better than having no one buy anything at all.
A while ago, we talked about this. She said, “Then you pick them out yourself.” And what happened? Up to now, I still haven’t even opened Taobao. Maybe buying clothes really is something women are naturally better at. So in the end, I’ll just wear whatever is already there. Chasing after my own sense of style doesn’t seem very realistic. At this point, anything thick enough will do. It’s cold.
A few days ago, I moved the printer into my room, which made me very pleased. Having a printer right there feels surprisingly nice. But I also took the power strip from beside my bed and put it on one side of the desk, because there weren’t enough sockets over there.
That has created a new problem: every day, I have to charge my phone fully at the desk before I can go to bed. At first it didn’t bother me, because I was still absorbed in the joy of owning a printer. Slowly, though, the inconvenience started to show. Now it’s getting a little annoying, haha. In weather this cold, isn’t the best thing to get into bed as early as possible?
So I found a power strip on Pinduoduo. It’s a Xiaomi-style smart USB model, which sounds very fancy, though in reality it’s probably just a power strip. As long as it can charge things, that’s enough. It should arrive in a couple of days. I’m looking forward to it.
Right now I’m starting to feel a little hungry. But I did eat lunch. Thinking about it, the most likely explanation is that I’ve been using my brain too intensely and burned through too many resources. So now I urgently need an energy refill. Yes, that must be it.
