OMG it feels so good to finally be able
to sit down and rest. My wife and I spent the entire day moving
furniture. Tomorrow I'm going to pay for it. In the mean time,
here's a little update.
I woke up this morning in strong girl
mode, but when we started moving crap around I flipped over to strong
guy mode. This seems to happen when I have to get shit done in a
timely manner. I'm typing this now in guy mode, which doesn’t
happen very often.
We cleared everything out of the
bedroom and then moved my desk into there. I was afraid that it was
going to fall apart and it almost did, but then my wife slapped a
couple of l-brackets on it and we rocked that shit. Good thing my
wife is non-gender stereotype conforming in her own way because I
don't know anything about that stuff. (She owns all the power
tools.)
We have a twin mattress that we moved
into the bedroom for me to sleep on and the queen mattress and frame
are in the living room right now until Tuesday when my wife's Dad is
bringing down the twin mattress from her parents house. Then they'll
take the old bed to the dump.
I got the dresser into the walk in
closet and it's very easy to access. My wife is going to move her
stuff out of there once I can squeeze my book case in here. Then I
can finally throw away the old plastic crap drawers that I've haws
since we first moved in together in Japan.
After we moved around just about every
piece of furniture to another part of the house we went to Ikea and
picked up my loft bed. My wife is paying the utilities now,
(electric and internet) which came out to 120 bucks. The loft bed
was 119. Sometimes things work. The boxes the thing came in were a
lot bigger than I had expected, but I have a Honda Fit and the seats
fold down to the floor. I've worked miracles with this car before,
and once again I was able to bend reality to my will in defiance of
the Gods. So uh, we made it fit. (Is that why the car is called a
“Fit”?)
Right now the bed is unboxed in pieces.
My project for tomorrow is to put the darn thing together. My wife
will be in class so hopefully I'll be able to do it by myself. I put
this damn desk together by myself so I think I'll be able to pull it
off.
I'm a little worried that the big
screen TV wont fit in here. We took some measurements and we were
able to move the desk away from wall, but now there's like a three by
three foot space that serves no purpose, and I'm trying really hard
to use every inch that I can get. If it fits then we will get some
seating in here and in the daytime and the early evening it will be
the TV room. (More like a – theater; the things huge.)
If it wont then I'll put it up on
Craig's List and we'll use the old analog TV in the mean time until
we can afford a better one. Personally I don’t give a damn one way
or the other. The big TV is fucking cool but it's just more “stuff”
that's not essential to my life. (My wife want's to keep it.)
If we go with the little TV everything
should fit perfect. Then between the TV and seating I'll have a nice
little area for meditation and exercise. I think I will get a little
round table for people to put their drinks or food on.
As I type this right now I can feel
myself sliding into girl mode. In real time. Just thought I would
document that.
So I have my little world set up here
now. I have my most favorite show in the know universe, Mystery
Science Theater 3000
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_Science_Theater_3000
playing on the little TV in the background. It's very comforting to
me. When I was going to get married to my wife, (the big family
wedding and not the quicky wedding in Japan) I had a little portable
TV/DVD player and I remember I was watching MST3K. It was once of
the Hercules movies, but honestly I can't remember which.
OK, now I'm rambling. I worked my ass
of today and I'm completely spent. I'm tired and tomorrow I'm going
to be in a lot of pain and I still have so much to do. Eh, oh well.
Time for go to bed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KN2JhPc0wM
