Things are looking up
Nov. 1st, 2010 04:44 pmHad some de-stressing talks with my brother over the weekend. While he's planning on moving down here, he said he wouldn't be living here full-time. He plans on traveling, possibly even getting a couple time-shares in different locations. So this would be just his 'home base', as it were, instead of living in the Cities. So no permanent "other body in the house". :D
In conjunction with that, we were trying to figure out where "my space" can be (where I can have my computer and be able to smoke without bothering him) and we decided that the downstairs back bedroom would be the best. It currently has a huge antique bed and dresser in it, taking up almost all the floor space, along with a ton of my stuff I've just been storing in there. But we agreed (again!) that we would either sell the set, give it to the local historical society, or just put it in storage until we decided what to do with it. (It's a Victorian style, with 8 foot headboard and marble top dresser, so not something you just put out on the curb :D) But we have a twin bed and mattress that I can then put in there, with plenty of room for my desk and additional shelving for all my supplies - and still have room for a small table so I can actually have work space when I'm printing things out and rearranging stories.
Just the idea of having my own space, where I can close the doors and not be disturbed, with all my books and reference materials at hand (instead of stored here and there)... I'm getting so excited about it! Almost as good as having the toolhouse or bus for my 'stuff'. :D Windows on two walls looking nowhere except out on the gardens, one door to the main house, the other to the downstairs bathroom - back of the house so I can easily ignore anything else going on in the house... It also helps that it's one of the warmest rooms during the winter - I fully intend to have my desk in front of the heat vent!
Only downside is that the TV won't be there for white noise - but I can live with that. ;-)

) but god - he sounds like a horrible parody of Nixon with a British tinge. That in itself would keep me from seeing the film - it would drive me nuts every time he opened his yap. 
Not that I go to movies anyway - most aren't worth the cost of a ticket. I'd rather wait and get the good ones on DVD so I can watch when I want, at home, on the couch, in comfortable clothes. 
) but for now I'm going to shove it out on the porch until I can haul it out. I'm going to make new cushions for the old futon frame to take its place. Then tearing out the old closet in the back bedroom (freestanding) and put that in the north end of the downstairs bathroom to hold the cleaning supplies and equipment. Then I can do an overall cleaning and finish painting downstairs.
