teddy_radiatorWe asked ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kmhmd and hubby B if we could borrow their nail gun and compressor, and they generously came over today and helped out. I didn't sleep worth a damn last night thinking about how awful the house looked. It's amazing how much we got accomplished between 8 and 9am this morning - the house looks almost inhabitable now. While the boys nailed down the beading, K and I popped over to Aldi's and got lunch. We all shared a great lunch, then they sprang it on us that they were going to give us two tickets to Biltmore House! I tell you, these two are the sweetest, most generous hearted human beings on the planet.
We are going to dog-sit their lovely girl Lucy Friday night and Saturday while they go on a trip; she is the nicest dog, not a speck of trouble and so smart. We're looking forward to it.
After B and K left, I'm afraid we did little more than sit around, binge watching telly and noshing on lunch leftovers. I feel really tired, and a little blue, for some reason. We have to work tomorrow and Friday - I suppose that's the reason for my depression! LOL
This weekend we hope to put up the curtain and move some furniture back into the SteamLib. I hope we can start getting bookcases put together next month; it won't be much of a library without them!
Now that the main bulk of the big stuff is done, we have to decide exactly what we want to put into the room, decoration wise. I think we'll end up with ceiling fans in both the alcove and the room. I bought a set of curtains yesterday, then turned around and asked for a refund. Something just wasn't right about them. I have a very bland curtain I can put up in the meantime.
I couldn't help but feel a little envious with all the MISTI-Con posts back and forth today; it made me feel really sad to miss this. I know everyone will have a ball, and rumour has it this may be the last MISTI. If it is, I'm very sad, but sometimes you just have to accept that you can't do something. But to everyone who is there, I hope you have a wonderful time, and safe journeys.
I need to write the prologue of Book Two, but I'm just motivation-free right now. I feel ashamed of being that way; all writing advice says you write regardless. But I know what I'm like when I plow throgh without my Muse - it's not pretty. So I'll just continue binge watching Mission:Impossible until he's ready, and we'll be off again.
