The Fulfilled Basement

I lied, but not intentionally, when I stated I'd get all kinds of things done before my trip a few weeks ago.  They are getting done though.  As you saw, my new bookcase is operational.  I took the one that had been in its place previously (with the help of friend Sean, thanks!!!) and put it downstairs in the basement.  Another friend, Daria, came and picked up the old wooden bookcase I didn't want to keep.  Awesome!  It's funny how the same amount of books on a different set of shelves looks so different.  Now it's time to compare and contrast again, just like we did in Language Arts:

The photo on the left is the best I have of that corner and the old bookcase, but you can see things look a little sunnier in the old basement.

I have Salvation Army coming this Saturday to pick up an upstairs bookcase.  A friend of mine who is moving overseas is giving me a beautiful large set of shelves that can go in my living room.  

The outside of my house is undergoing a transformation.  My landlord decided to tell me that they were going to tear off the siding of my house and replace it, but he waited until a few minutes before they started work.  It's been over a week now and the exterior is covered in Tyvek.  Not long to go now! 

I'm getting a night guard for my teeth.  After years of grinding them in my sleep I'm finally going to have some relief!  I'm getting the final fit on Monday.  Maybe I won't wake up with headaches anymore.
