The Work-in-Progress Continues

The carpet layers did the stairs and the second floor today. Now everything matches.

We stopped after work & scheduled delivery of new sofa & recliner. Then down the road to the next place, where we purchased - and schedule delivery of - a new office set (large desk, files, and hutch). Then on to a third place for end tables for the sofa.

The only thing left is to find a sturdy, comfortable desk chair ... oh - and a suitable display cabinet for my wife's collection of miniature bears. Knick-knacks, really, but cute & decorative. If they weren't all packed away right now, I'd tell you more about them.

We pulled all the large pieces out of the bathroom & kitchen, and moved them into their new places.

But now we're sitting on lawn chairs, admiring the new carpet and fresh paint, and dreaming about Thursday night when we can rest on the new sofa. :)

Just Because

This is a "taking care of things" kind of day, today. Walked a mile and discovered that was about all I could handle, due to the recent back injury (has it really been three weeks?). 

My wife & I stopped by the medium-sized office box store & picked up some things ... some needful things, and a couple "just because" things like a riser to set my monitor on, drawer organizer, etc.

Installed Office 2010 on my PC and Samantha's laptop, and noted with pleasure that the standard is now a three-user package. That's how many computers we have in Casa del Pablo, so it worked out well.

Now I can install my 2007 version at work, to replace the 2003 version currently in use there. As the Deputy Chief taught us in Fire Department Leadership 201, way back when: "You may never achieve your 'ideal'. But every time you have a chance to make a change, move in that direction."

Words of wisdom.
