o noes! #LastDays has fallen off the trending projects page! quick, go vote! The Last Days project! Okay, now that that’s out of the way… :) Once that was out of the way it appears what I did next was more laundry, put towels away on the new bathroom storage, move books from one set of shelves to another, tidy the dining room, finish the bread, make lunch for Young Indiana, and put some cookies in to bake, rather than blog anything. There’s still an awful lot to do. And…

Ikea, redux

Actually it’s like fourdux but I don’t know the word for that if there is one (quadux?) and shortly it will be quindux because one of the things we needed was out of stock and won’t be back in until Thursday. This is the move that will never end, I swear to god. Anyway, we went out to Ikea yesterday. The best part was that on the bus there was a little boy in a Superman coat.

This morning a nice man is coming to put a carpet into the dining room, after which the unpacking can actually commence. Except moving the big bookcase may be beyond my ability, so possibly it won’t really commence until tonight/tomorrow after Ted gets home and can help move v. heavy things. Today I have to put the skip out and fill it. That’s the biggest thing I really need to do, although I also still need to: – call airtricity – email nice lady at [redacted] to discuss [redacted] It…
