When moving, forget your towel: always know where your coffee is.
This past week has been good.
I got my new bed ordered, and it will be delivered next Saturday. I’ve had my old one for nearly ten years, which is about the expected life span of a futon. College kids may be interested in buying the futon and frame from me, though: it will give their place some furniture that they don’t have to buy at full price. (The futon still makes an excellent sofa. Its days as a bed are a bit numbered, though.)
I received a care package of high-density-cacao chocolate and good coffee from Emm Ei, who is both a good friend and a damn fine human being. She’s also Co-conspirator in Chief of the West Coast Recruitment Board. I shared the Dagoba bar with a visiting relative and am having some of the coffee for breakfast.
My cats are loving the new place, and are so wozzled by all the space that they haven’t tried getting out the front door when I leave for work. Just in case, though, I’m working on my “no you can’t go out” Fresh and Fruity Flying Kitten Deathmix dance moves…because once Dina realizes that she’s now an indoor-only cat, she’ll probably try and go back outside. (Note to self: get that patio screened in.)
I have unpacked most of the boxes, and gotten the walk-in closet, the bedroom, and the living room set up the way I want them. I may swap the office and the dining room, though. After that, I’ll need to have a garage sale: I want to sell my old furniture, and c.list-local seems like the perfect way to get the word out. Finding a good computer desk is a chore, though: I want a compartment that will keep the tower off the floor, but not close it in entirely — that will shorten the fan’s lifespan, and overheat the rest of the components. I also don’t want MDF, particle board, or so-called “engineered wood” (which I think is just code for “particle board”). Anyone have any suggestions?
