coming along

When my husband and I moved, our new living room was dominated by a small but very heavy computer desk. I can barely move the thing if I throw all my body weight against it, so even with my husband's help, we weren't going to get the thing drudged upstairs to the computer room.

My brother stepped up, and those two fellows (my brother and my husband) got their burden upstairs as easily as if it were an oversize basket of laundry. Utterly amazing. I'm actually typing this from my station at that desk.

Of course, now we need an actual coffee table, because our remotes-and-beverages holder is no longer there. Heh. For the moment, we have an upturned apple box (!) holding up the remotes, but I have something a bit nicer than cardboard in mind.

Not sure what else. If we can get some help disconnecting a rusted-on washing machine hose, I can stop schlepping my laundry places, but for Reasons, that hose is going to take an expert to remove. There's also my old video games and books to get set up here. Just need to co-ordinate some measurements and align stuff, one piece of furniture at a time.

I think I have forgotten how to journal, a little. I'm out of practice. Well, I know the solution to being out of practice: get back into it!
