Coughing my way to the weekend

Still not entirely better, but working on it. And moving furniture around in my free time. The floor will be leveled on Wednesday, so I have to take everything out of the living room/dining nook/kitchen. No small task. I think some stuff is going out in the hallway outside my apartment. The rest will be stacked to the ceiling in one of the rooms with carpet. Theoretically, I will have flooring put down this weekend. But....there is always a 'but,' so I'll believe it when I see it. Then, I will lay down on it and cry tears of joy...but I'll wipe them up quickly to avoid floor damage. And then - I'll unpack, take stuff out of storage, re-arrange, give away unwanted furniture, purchase needed furniture, install a pocket door, fix the washer/dryer closet, build in-the-wall shelves, paint walls aplenty, and sigh a great big sigh. So close, but yet...

I had originally planned to have everything 'done' in the place by the end of this month. I'm guessing I'm not going to make it. Things always take longer than I think they will. But - spring is coming - a great time to paint with the windows open, hunt yard sales for cool furniture, and take a break outside when home repair gets overwhelming. I think things are going to get better. Back me up on this. And get ready for paint and drywall parties. :)
