Furniture and carpet
* Furniture delivered yesterday morning--a craftsman style AV Cabinet made in Thailand and purchased through Overstock.com for around $500.
* We are supposed to get the large wall sized cabinetry made in India, $1000, red with all glassed doors. This will go in the dining room to replace the large painting of a market scene in Haiti...and my disabled futon loveseat which I got back in 1997 (the fold out part broke apart when it was used as a chair).
* So to-day I want to move all the furniture, books, dvds, electronic equipment out of the living room, pull the carpet, replace outlets with modern 3-prong outlets, clean, then assemble the new furniture and return most of the stuff I moved out. Just thinking about it makes me weary. The other half of the room will stay as-is for a while.
* To-morrow will do the same in the dining room, although that should be easier.
* The big hassle will be just finding temporary places for things.
* I also am interested in keeping the futon, even if just a seat now. I am thinking about a major re-organization of items in the front room...but that itself would take time.
* Overcast to-day...expect rain most of the time.
* Work yesterday was not very fun. One thing, which took a couple of hours, did not work or was invalidated in some way. I was able to check off a couple of things, but the main items I could not do. Also I was supposed to be in early enough for a 1:1 with my boss but didn't make it.
* I didn't make it because Thursday night I went with Marisa to a Tiki burlesque show with go-go dancing during the intermission...at the Star Theatre...followed by a late dinner at Denny's. Also I didn't feel the rush to get there early because, as I remember it, the 1:1 wasn't until 1 p.m. Either my memory was faulty or the meeting was moved last night. Most likely my memory was faulty. Certainly I thought I could make it by 10 a.m., but did not.
* At least I got a good parking place...being that it was a Friday. This one was right by a corner of RA-1...just a stroll to the main entrance and upstairs...and I was at my desk!
* Before I went home I did a little office cleaning...threw away several empties of Starbucks Mocha Frappaccino (some with mold growing inside) and wiped the round table surface and the surface of my desk. It wasn't a major clean-up, but definitely made it better.
* Upsetting dreams with terrorist attacks, my truck ripped apart and divorce. I woke early, then went back to sleep again.
