New working space

So I know if you’ve read lately or followed my Twitter/Facebook you know that I’ve been working quite diligently to switch up the rooms while cleaning the carpets ‘n’ such. Well it’s finally done, the switching that is.. I still have plenty of carpet to SteamVac! I didn’t finish the room until about 3a.m.ish and still have a few things lingering in the now guest room (which was my old office). And I have a little bit of paint to clean up in the guest room since tape ripped chips of it off.

Started out around 3p.m. yesterday afternoon, and it took several hours just to clear all the stuff out of the room. Then I had to vacuum thoroughly (so that the SteamVac isn’t vacuuming but cleaning the carpet) and steam the carpets. Ended up taking a break and snuggling up with the hubster while the carpets dried. After that he helped me get the heavy desk top up the stairs and was off to his gaming session. About three hours into the rebuild I had to stop and do my homework (or it would have been late and therefore not counted towards Saturday).

Eight hours later, here I am! My body is of course exhausted (still neck deep in the PMDD pool) and I know I’m going to be extra sore tomorrow. But my brain is happy and awake. I’m really enjoying my new workspace! There are two desks: one we got from base during decom and one I ordered a long time ago from Walmart. Next to that is my big green file cabinet (that thing is a bitch to move!) and my other little filing drawer + my bookcase (which is no longer overflowing, thank god). I also have my piano here in the room and in that empty space behind my desk my elliptical will be put. << So I can get off my fat ass and exercise more often. I figure if it’s close by I’ll have no excuse not to get up and run for a bit.

I mentioned on Twitter/Facebook (I use tweetdeck so it goes to both heh) that the level was my best friend tonight and if you look at the pics you’ll know why. I had A LOT of stuff to hang up. And I have a tendency to hang things crocked even when I have a level lol. You’ll also notice a big fat white space above the black boxes on the wall. I have to find my cross candle holders. They are in the mountain of boxes behind my piano (see photos) and I don’t feel like burying myself just yet. And yes, those are letters written on my keys… when I was teaching Nathan to play the piano he wrote them on there with a white board marker lol Couldn’t remember what keys were what!

I feel like I have plenty of space to move around in, even though the room is kind of cramped (to be honest). But it is bigger than the other room and has a better configuration (the guest room has juts in the wall that are in awkward spots). And guess what! I can see all my artwork from my desk! That’s a big deal. I like being able to see it all without having to move. I didn’t buy it to not look at and enjoy it! (like some people)

This is probably the longest post I’ve written in quite some time huh? Well I guess it’s because I have something to write about. Anyhow, I think I’ll do a bit of work (I have a lot due today) and see how long it takes before I need to pass out, ha!
