It seemed like a good idea at the time

So, I just moved my grandmother's desk that I inherited in 1999. It's a "real" piece of furniture -- you know, solid wood. Well, mostly anyway. It's really heavy.

The worst part of moving it was that I have really strong legs, but am totally unable to transfer as of that force to my arms, so I have to solely use my legs to move the darn thing.

But, it's moved. Yay! And I don't have to run today! Now, I can move the glasses cabinet to where the desk was in the guest room and put the extra end table in there for the TV. I decided to move it in there, b/c it just takes up room in the living room and we could move the couches more toward the TV. But, I'm think that the end table might be too big for the room, so it might not work out that way.

I'm really happy with the guest room at the moment. It's a lot more empty -- it's a room instead of a room that the junk was going into. Having the basement really helps a lot.

I'm considering having a kind of housewarming party (finally!) around my birthday. We can really get everything to where we want it and have enough room to have more than two people over. Okay, well, maybe not that far into the future, since the deck would be unusable at that point, probably, but soon. I think.

It's been a long year.

So, yesterday, it was determined that the reason that Jake has been feeling so horrible for months on end is not depression or anxiety or a virus or whatever. He's had a sinus infection! For months! The ENT doc took about 2 seconds to figure it out. So, he's on the antibiotics and feels a TON better, b/c he knows that he's not going crazy. Now, you're probably wondering why he didn't notice he had a sinus infection, as I did. B/c it's not in his front sinuses, where it would really be noticeable and would really hurt. It's all in the back, clogging his throat and ears and making him feel yucky all the time. Crazy. I've never heard of such a thing. I, however, feel that if he didn't blow his nose so hard, it wouldn't force all that crap back into those back sinuses and ears. That's probably why this happened this way. Oh well. What can you do? At least he'll get better now! yaay!!! :)

I don't know what project will be next around the house. Maybe attempting to refinish the guest room wood floor, as a test to see if we could do the living room floor. I think that re-doing the bathroom might be next summer. I know that Jake owes Josh some help in Luxemburg with their bathroom, whenever that happens. I'm mostly handy with a paint brush. But, I want a new bathroom.

A project this winter may be fixing the back splash in the kitchen. Which would involve ripping of that crap back wall (whatever that shit is) and putting new drywall up, patching and tiling whatever we decide to tile. A trip to HOBO might be in order to look at tile again. I found some sweet tiles there that I would really like for the bathroom. So, there must be other stuff there too. I think that eventually, we will redo the kitchen floor with cooler tiles as well. We know there's a good sub floor down, so all we would need is new, nicer tiles.

My final thoughts for today are that when making blueberry pancakes, you should always ALWAYS use real fresh blueberries. No frozen. I disliked blueberry pancakes until this morning, when I made pancakes and threw in fresh blueberries for Jake. They were amazing!
