I moved things away from the wall in the gym so they'll be able to paint the trim tomorrow. I've ordered an air purifier for the bedroom (once we are able to move into it).
Now time to look at Christmas shopping.

Things are at this almost-but-not-quite done stage in the renovation and I am just SO READY for it to tip over into the done-enough-to-really-unpack stage.
Maaaaaaaaybe another two weeks?

I pulled up 90% of the floor protection in the home theater and vacuumed and then moved the sofa in there, so now we have a third space in the house where we can vaguely exist.

Home from vacation and attempting to pull together some semblance of a brain and motivation. It is not going well.
On the bright side the house continues to look great.

I know I've shared about this before but as the shutdown goes on, it continues to leave Pez in a VERY uncertain position. If you can spare, any help is greatly appreciated - and if you can't, even just a share helps.

I mean we haven't let Canada have the Stanley Cup in a while so I guess they can win the World Series as a treat?

I counted at least 15 inflatables at our local protest today. I was there until I hit the overstimulated point and now I am back home to work on kitchen organization (the unpacking continues) but I showed up!

I need to unpack another 3 boxes in the kitchen tonight, at least. The backsplash is like, 90% done but we're going to have to wait on tile to finish it because REASONS but anyway it's fine. The carpet in the media room is almost done.

For the record, my husband is like "why are you showing me what the light switches at the bottom of the stairs do" and I didn't commit crimes.

This was a great day to move home and try to find a bar to go out for a celebratory drink at, anyway I may have accidentally launched my gin hour to start working through my collection thanks to bartenders wanting a distraction from the game.
In January, I'm not that much of a masochist.

I have zero idea what the crowd sounded like when the Mariners did the thing and that's mostly because the boss at the bar came out and poured shots for everyone when it happened.
Which, tbf, was us and the staff. 😂

I did order the pocket door locks for the two bathrooms and a pull for the primary suite (there are reasons why a lock will probably not work there) and then I looked at sheets and I probably still need to do other things tonight but.

They have finally started the plaster in the main bathroom, and the final tile is going in on the floors. The backsplash will unfortunately need to wait another week, probably, but.
I had a pretty strong aura which I *think* was a migraine attempt, so I didn't run this afternoon.

A very good friend of mine is staring at a potentially very bumpy next bit without much of a cushion to get through it, so I did a new-to-me thing and put together a GoFundMe for her. It would make me happy if you shared it (or donated, if you want to and can): gofund.me/7a7bb69a4

I wrote an app years ago for cross stitch stuff and people have used it and that is great!
I also made zero money from it, it has not been updated in literal years, and the only e-mails I ever get about it are problems they want me to troubleshoot.

Hopefully tomorrow night.
