in all the trying

not much got done today. work wise. raining. no bike ride. but I did get to do some cleaning/clearing of the back bedroom, Lauren’s old room. Made good progress and just trying to determine how to use it, what furniture should go there. I know I want a chair and couch/bed back there. Desk, stereo and I may even think about running the cable back there. Make it a guest room. My bike will live there in the mean time. I will get it all cleared out and then when it dries up a bit, rent a carpet cleaner for it and the other carpet in the house. I am still planning on ripping out one carpe, but finances are tight so replacing with a nice area rug is going to be impossible. We’ll just have to play it by ear, but it is starting to shape up a bit. I’ve let everything go for too long now.

Parents have the new computer. Now to have them call up the cable company so that they can at least have some decent internet entertainment. They may not come down to dinner on thanksgiving and that means christmas also. Mom can only think about getting up the stairs, the fact that it is five minutes of a day, really is beyond me. I will put up a second railing to convince her, but if she does not want to, then I am going to have Billy do turkey for them. I don’t want to drive up there and cook, when I have my own family here. I just don’t want to travel. And not have any leftovers.

and work? ha! I avoided it all weekend. I promised something for tomorrow so I really need to get things hustling here, do it and then go to bed. yeah, by the time I get done, it should be bedtime. perfect ending to a weekend.
