Currently Reporting From My Living Room

HOUSE!

So we're most of the way to getting our house turned into a home. As you can tell, we have internet set up, which is *very important*, and much, though not all, of our stuff is in its proper place, at least for now.

The upstairs is...well, empty. The master bedroom and bath have nothing in them. We just closed off the doors for now. We moved both of our beds into the guest bedrooms while planning to get a larger bed for ourselves (and the cats), so the master bedroom is not occupied. I'm currently posting this from one of the other bedrooms upstairs...let's just call it the blogging bedroom. It's the bedroom we use for writing blogs. I just decided that. We have so many extra rooms we can just assign random ones for random tasks. It's not like they're doing anything else.

The rest of the upstairs rooms contain little things here and there, but we haven't even bothered to set the other guest bed up upstairs. We're not using it. We're pretty much living downstairs, where the action is. The office, such as it is, is pretty much together, and consists of two computer desks and some lamps. The library is still a mess, but that's mostly because I want to go get some more shelves to store all our books and random displayables.

The Living room is pretty well set up too, but mostly empty. We went out and bought ourselves a reclining sofa and love seat after finding ones we liked, but they won't give you a delivery window, so we had to wait until next Saturday to deliver, being as we don't really have the luxury of sitting around all day while they do-or-do-not show up. We work, after all.

We've been in and out of a few places looking for beds/nightstands/chests of drawers that we like too, but we haven't found anything yet. So for the moment, we sleep downstairs in one of our 'guest bedrooms'. The cats, too, have adjusted well to their new house. Nagano likes running up and down stairs and is adorable when he slips on the concrete floors and whumps into things. Tigger has just found a few place where he can sleep and he's happy.

Much of our house-assembly work has been slowed, though, with the impending start of JESSIE's FIRST ROLLER DERBY GAME! So exciting! It happens tonight, and it's her team (the league champions) against the all-stars (all-scars) from the rest of the league. I just have to keep reminding her though, that it's just a game, and she's doing it because she likes to skate. She's a little nervous, and between that and the house, we've had to slow down and take some cuddle-breaks to help relax.

Yes, there are pictures and video of the new house and I'll put some stuff up from Jessie's first game, but I'm busy with a house and a host of new video games, so be patient. It's coming, promise.

Happy new year!
