THE CARPET IS INSTALLED

We got up early today to finish emptying the room.  Since I had removed a lot of things during the night before I went to bed, that took us all of 15 minutes.  I joked with the Beast and said we should go back to bed for an hour since it was only 7:15am.  But we stayed up, had our coffee, watched the news, took the dog out front and sat on the steps for about 15 minutes and then went back into the house to wait for the installers.  They were a bit late and didn't get here until almost 9am.  Figures!

The installation went smoothly.  Why shouldn't it when we had done all the hard work...LOL  I went up to Staples and bought one of those shields so that my chair rollers wouldn't make serious marks in the new rug.  I also picked up this cute little 8 drawer stand (rolled steel frame and on wheels).  The drawers aren't deep but I wasn't concerned about that.  I wanted it to put things in like staples, tapes, scissors, paper clips, etc. into it so that I was a bit more organized.  Chewlee wanted to look through the drawers but I told her she could do that with me on Thursday when she is here later in the day since her mother works.  That way she will know where I put the tape, the scissors and a few other things that I usually let her get when she needs them.

We started moving things back in place and that is going to be a job and a half.  There's so much, it's amazing.  You never know how much you accumulate and store in small spaces.  By that, I mean you find six inches of space on a shelf and....surprise!  You suddenly have a space for that nail polish you use occasionally...or a bottle of lotion...or whatever.  It's so easy to use that instead of getting up and putting it where it belongs.

I did put all our medical supplies in a large container that I will put on a shelf in the bookcase.  Probably on a lower or bottom shelf.  I use it more than anyone because everyone comes to me to find a bandage...or the triple antibiotic.. or some gauze...whatever they need.  Like I carry it in my pocket.  LOL  So I figured put all the stuff together, including some of the leftover stuff from my surgery and the foot wounds.  You never know!

After the Beast got the computer and my TV hooked back up, I was soooooo tempted to just forget about doing anything but....I filled the drawers in the new stand, folded a load of clothes and got that put away and hauled my DVD's, CD's and games in here.  THAT is going to take me a while to re-organize since Chewlee can reach it all.  She also knows where most of the movies she likes are kept (and the ones *I* like) but she doesn't seem to remember where to put them back.  Oh, except for the Harry Potter tapes.  THOSE she knows exactly where they go and she puts those away just fine.

The Beast went to bed early and said to me as he left, *Tomorrow is another day*.  Well, DUH!  Like I hadn't already gotten on the computer and started to play games.  Too funny!

It was amazingly cool today.  I think our high was only about 74 degrees or so.  It looked like it was going to rain but that hasn't happened...yet!  It still could since the sky is overcast.  I won't know until it either clears up or rains.  I just have to wait and see even though rain was predicted.  In fact, thunderstorms were supposed to happen....NOT !

Love you all.  Going to have to address the DVD thing in the morning so THAT much gets done.  I have to call Tara and find out if she wants to stop by and go through these blankets, spreads and other stuff I have.  I should get up in the attic and pull down the container with all the sheets I have stored up there.  I need to get rid of those.  **Sigh**  Tomorrow is another day to worry about all this.  See you then.  **wink**
