And we're here....

October. My favorite month juxataposed with a terrible anniversary.

Nothing much to report from here. Things are finally slowing down for Jake at work, so he's a feeling a little less stressed out all the time, which is great. On Friday night, we went out bumming around and went up to the Steinhafels Superstore in Germantown or Menomonee Falls (it's on the edge of the two, I think) and went to look at queen size beds in the Clearance center. And we found a NEW BED!! aldjlkjdflkjads!

So, now we have a pillowtop Simmons Beauty rest, with a Sealy low profile box spring. Which means there's more room for cats AND Mitchell doesn't have to jump up so high to get onto the bed at night. However, they don't really let me sleep that much, so the ear plugs are being purchased and the door will be shut. Stupid Mitchie. Sometimes I think that they just want me to get up and come out to the living room.

But, we finally could use the sheets we got for the wedding and it's really pretty great. We also have a guest bedroom now too, and as soon as I can get the rest of the stuff in the apartment cleaned up, we will be good.

We went and picked up the bed Saturday morning and then we spent time cleaning out the cage downstairs, so there's more room down there now for crap that we don't need in the apartment. Then we moved more stuff out of the apartment down there, which is great, because there's that many fewer boxes up here looking sad and dumb.

So, Jake is happier and I'm happier. It's cleaner up here. There's more to do, but it's good for now.

I've gotten more done on my advent calendar that I've been trying to cross stitch for the past couple months, and that makes me happy.

Well, I have to finish getting ready for work this morning. I wish that I had more to talk about. BUT: I figure, at least you know that I am still here if I just give the play by play of our lives instead of deep thoughts.

bye bye!
