I HAVE MY BED AND IT'S MORE BEAUTIFUL IN PERSON THAN I EVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED.

I'm home.  I HAVE MY BED AND IT'S MORE BEAUTIFUL IN PERSON THAN I EVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED.  SO WORTH THE DRIVE!

Not that driving was a down-side for me.  I love driving.  That U-Haul van... OH MY.  That was HANDS-DOWN the nicest thing I've ever driven.  It had cruise control which I'd never had before because I only drive stick shifts and that was REALLY nice on such a long trip.  I dangled my legs for most of it.  😂  It was SO COOL.  😳

Back to the bed - I would TOTALLY post photos of it, but it's piled up in 1000 pieces in my living room.  I think I could put it together if I had a helper, but I don't even have my bedroom floor down yet.  Shaun is still sick so that sucks.  He isn't allowed to help me anymore until he feels better.  Taking the trip to get the bed was the exception.  Everything else can wait - if it has to.

I have all this new stuff I want to do and I am not sure I can do it all by myself.  But knowing me I'll go ahead and try and see how far I get.  😁  If anyone is bored tonight and in the mood to do some things - let me know.  You'll get the pleasure of my company and at least dinner out of it.  Can't promise much more than that, but I think it would be fun.  As much as this probably sounds lame to most of my friends as plans for a Saturday night - I'm a do-er of things, so this kind of stuff makes me happy.  😃

Later, peeps.  I have a lot of figuring shit out to do.  😃

P. S.

P. S. I haven't done my nails since that Valentine's mani. JEEZ.

Dang, this day.

Dang, this day.

I kept an eye on the transport pages for Cookie, but I never saw him.  I'm guessing that's because he's going into another foster home up north - not his forever home.  I heard that he made it up and was doing fine so that's good.  🙂

As for the rest of it... oh my.

So I'm all set to get my bed tomorrow.  I gotta leave early, but I'm excited so it's ok.  I do have to get some sleep tonight, though.  I didn't get much last night.  BECAUSE MY HOUSE IS A WRECK.  I just can't sleep when it's all jacked up.  😕

Me, Shaun, and Shadow took almost everything out of my room yesterday (and dispersed it awkwardly around the rest of the house) in preparation to put down my new floor.  The new flooring that I bought last year that is still rolled up and has been lying diagonally across my bedroom floor - tripping me every day for a year.  I AM SO READY!

Me and Shaun were gonna tackle the floor tonight so we could hopefully get my bed put up tomorrow, but he's sick.  He never gets sick, but he totally is.  So I told him to go home and rest because floor or no floor, that bed is coming home with me tomorrow.  I don't know where I will put it, but it is coming home.  😂  I will figure something out.

So yeah.  Hard time sleeping.  Hard time even walking around in this place with stuff stacked everywhere.  But it's only temporary and it's gonna be awesome when it's done.  I am trying to put my focus on that - not the mess that is NOW.  Oof.  😬

Cookie made it! 🙂

Cookie made it! 🙂

I just spilled scalding hot coffee in my lap.

For anyone who's thinking about trying that let me be the first to say: It HURTS.

We woke up super early...

We woke up super early so we could get to the transport on time.  I tried to make my "letting the dogs out" rounds this morning, but they were mostly still asleep.

I went and asked Emma if she needed to go outside and she jumped up off the couch.  I think that may have just been an automatic response because when I let her out - she just stood there.  She wasn't sniffing or moving... she was just standing there.  She looked like she had no idea what she was doing outside.  😂  After a minute I just let her back in so she could go back to sleep.  It was pretty funny.  It reminded me of having to wake up Shadow early when he was young.  Sleepy kids (especially the fur ones!) are cute.  😃

The precious cargo has been dropped off.
