Saturday I found an exercise machine I think I can use. The rest of the day I sat in the family room with Rob, a measuring tape, and masking tape, and planned where things might go. There's still masking tape all over the carpet in there.
Sunday morning I saw my first Iridium flare. Then I:
- moved a LOT of boxes and cruft out of the front bedroom into the hallway temporarily
- cleaned the floor of that room - boy did it need it
- moved two overstuffed bookcases, with a lot of help from Rob, out of the family room into the front bedroom (one end of the house to the other)
- moved two very full four-drawer file cabinets about ten feet
Boy was I aching by the end of the day. The family room is now ready for a water rower and Rob's e-freaking-normous weight machine. Woohoo! Of course, the hallway was full of boxes...
That night there was another Iridium flare, so Rob and I went out to see that. It lasted much longer than the one I saw Sunday morning -- well, it was a clear sky!
Monday I bought the exercise machine and Rob bought his weight machine. KA-CHING! Yay for long-weekend sales. They'll get delivered some time in the next couple of weeks.
Then I sat in two different rooms and THREW AWAY CRAP. I spent hours and hours on this. It is incredible the stuff I had sitting around. Anyone want the OSF/Motif Style Guide for Motif 1.2? A model airplane that still needs to be covered? A 1995 ARRL repeater directory? Didn't think so. Neither room looks much emptier, particularly since the boxes in the hallway went back into that front bedroom, but they're both greatly improved. The state of the front bedroom, in particular, has been bugging me for a really long time. While it's nowhere near "done" I feel a whole lot better about it today than I did on Friday. Another day or two like Monday and I'd actually be happy about what's in there and how it's organized.
Finally, last night Rob and I watched "When Harry Met Sally" again. Every time I see this movie I appreciate different parts of it. Part way through the movie we went outside for yet a third Iridium flare (long-lasting and bright, -6).
MAN what a weekend! I want a job where I can have three-day weekends every week. Whaddya think?
