Just hung some baskets on my loft...

Just hung some baskets on my loft so I can have all the stuffs I want near me when I sleep.  Shaun might be super happy about that, too, as he gets annoyed when he stays over and finds my stash of stuff under my pillow.  He's like "HOW DO YOU SLEEP WITH ALL OF THIS STUFF?!" and then I'm like "I NEED IT!"  😂  Nothing major, but I always have some tissue, lip balm, cuticle cream, and of course, my cell near me.  That's pretty normal, right?

It just occurred to me that it's probably not so normal.  I bet most people use night stands, but I never had room for one so I improvised.  Huh.  Well... regardless, now I have baskets.  😛

My new floor and new bed. Oh, I'm in love!

Chupa is tired from putting down the floor.  I called her name and she could hardly raise her head.  😂

This is my ladder and hidey-hole / closet.  I could totally throw a cushion in there and have a book nook or something (it's lighted).  Or hide there.  😂  Or use it for a storage area - which is most likely what I'll do.  It goes all the way through so it's a pretty large area.

This is my nest - complete with owls and the stuffies Shaun gave me.  My mom made me this quilt for Christmas and I LOVE IT.  Couldn't get anything that awesome at a store.

Also, yes - that is the ceiling at the top of the photo.  And yes - I can sit up on my bed without hitting my head.  Sometimes being little has it advantages.  😃

This is my bed from the front as you walk in the door.  Up top is where I sleep, the big ass bottom drawer holds a twin mattress (or stuff, whichever you prefer), and then I have all of those handy, space-saving drawers and shelves.  YAY!

I have one drawer out because I need to replace the tracks on it.  Easy.  🙂

The big shelf under my computer slides out - as does that weird little one above the drawers.


Damn, I have the best dogs.

Damn, I have the best dogs.  They let me SLEEP IN.  ❤

I am SO SORE TODAY.  I still have a lot to do to get my room in order, but that's ok.  Maybe I'll work off the soreness.

I have discovered that I would really like a shelf for my bed.  It is no fun needing something after climbing up and getting comfy.  That's an easy fix, though.  I have also hit both my head and my arse on the ceiling fan.  The bed is meant to go against a wall and it's just out in the middle of the room right now.  I need help moving it back.  We couldn't put it together just already against the wall.

Also I guess my driving scratched the new bed up in a few places.  Not terribly and I'm not usually caught up on looks, but it's my new thing so I want to take care of it.  I might try to find something to fix the little scratched spots.

Well, I haven't heard from Shaun all night so I'm off to check on him and then get to work.  I'll post a photo later today if I make enough progress.  🙂

Finally, FINALLY going to bed.

Finally, FINALLY going to bed. Guess it was worth the wait because I'm in my new bed. 🙂 I don't mind going up the ladder so far. I feel like I'm in a nest up here. 😃 It is pretty neat!

Floor down. Bed assembled.

Floor down. Bed assembled. Just me and Mystic. GIRL POWER! 

Waffle House bound because we deserve it.

Who's good at measuring and cutting?

Who's good at measuring and cutting? My room is cleaned out and my floor is rolled out, but I am chicken shit.

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.  😃
