Some changes
I finally moved upstairs!! YAY!! I have an actual bed off the floor! I have a window, a closet, a dresser, and lamps that I don't have to cross a room to turn off. I also have PRIVACY. I could sleep naked if I wanted to (I don't). The only problem currently is that I don't have a tv. That will be remedied in a little over a week's time when the AT&T guy comes to install the box upstairs. Yay!
Fluffy has decided that my room is her new favorite place to be. It's comfy, and away from the boys. And near her litter box (she doesn't use the one downstairs because they do). The boys come and go, but she stays nearby.
The bed I'm sleeping on is one of our family heirlooms; a several-hundred-years-old mahogany sleigh bed with matching dresser. I also have one of the mahogany secretaries and a small mahogany table acting as my bedside table. Mom also let me have one of the cut-glass lamps (the base is Waterford crystal, looks kinda like this), and another awesome lamp. It's a Fenton Hobnail milk glass antique lamp - looks kind of like this. I love it. Being surrounded by furniture my family has had for generations gives me a very happy feeling.
It gets quiet up here at night, though. I can't wait for my tv. For now, I have my computer and set iTunes up so I can listen to non-stop classical (well, it's more like a whole bunch of songs from soundtracks, but it's instrumental, at least).
Last night I had a scare with my computer - I got the blue screen of death. It's been doing that more and more lately. I know my poor laptop's on its last legs. I am trying to save up money, but it's really hard. At least I know my next one can be fairly cheap, because I don't do much with it besides read my email, blogs, and play some online games that don't need a lot of heavy equipment to run. It's not like I'm playing WoW or something. It's just online solitaire and stuff. I dread the day when I can't get this thing to boot up at all. What will I do when I can't read my f-list any time I want?
We also re-arranged furniture downstairs. Mom decided that the living room layout wasn't good. So we pushed the loveseat to under the big window, and moved the wingback chair to the opposite side of the room next to the big secretary desk. The couch stayed basically in the same place. Wow, there is so much more space moving the loveseat. The room is now wide open instead of closed-off like before. I could do a workout video on the floor and have plenty of room in there now. It also helps that I'm not sleeping on a twin-size air mattress on the floor.
I'm tired. Gonna go to bed now, I think. Putting furniture together and moving couches has taken it out of me.
