*whew*
The bedroom is almost ready for me to put the rails on the head & footboards. In the meantime, I found the bathroom scales and couldn’t resist the temptation. Fully dressed, I’m within five pounds of my goal weight!
The stereo is out of the box for the first time in forever, and if I can find a spot for it in here, I will set it up in the near future.
I had enough presence of mind to put the instruction booklet, the remote and the .45 adapter in a plastic bag and tape it to the side of the stereo, so that’s one less worry! The other remotes I brought with me. Clever girl!
Meanwhile, it’s time for a break. The letter to Charlie is in the Outgoing Mail drop, with apologies. I can walk to Hallmark store tomorrow and find a card for him, but it will be at least a week before I can get to Walmart to get him a gift card. He doesn’t go anywhere but to the bank and Walmart so there’s no sense buying him a card for any place besides Wally’s.
PS: I had to clean the pre-filter in the HEPA filter in the bedroom because of the lint and dog hair. Why do I always have to rent an apartment behind a DOG owner?? GAH!! The “carpet” was only slightly shampooed because the thing is a mess and needs to be replaced.
However, as soon as I find the two nuts that fell out of the bedrail box, I can order the bed. I have to shift the dresser a bit and move the shelf I have in there, but once I get the bed in place, I might be able to wake up in a cheerful mood.
Right now, I’m taking a slight break, then will go in with the carpet sweeper and see what I can scoop up, then I’ll move my bedroll into place for tonight and hope I don’t make the whole thing come crashing down on me when I get up in the middle of the night.
Stereo in my day: Tuner, turntable, cassette deck, pre-amp, amp, speakers.
Stereo now: Bluetooth speaker(s) for the phone.
