Interior Decorating

Our houseguest left today. Doug drove his cousin to pick up the aunt's car, and then drove away. Bye. 

Cousin was given one task before driving out west: Go to the storage unit, and find the box that has his mom's medication in it. Because, of course, somehow it was packed. Not set aside and held in a bag/suitcase safely for later. Nope. Either the movers packed it on Sunday and it went to the house, or, it's in the storage locker. 

He can't find it. So he called Doug like... DOUG IS GOING TO FUCKING KNOW what box it is in. And Doug said "I can't help you out with that." For as big a saint as my husband has been these past few weeks, he is done. Absolutely Done. When he got home, he ate dinner, drank a bunch of beers, and crawled into bed before 9pm. 

He earned it. And I love him. 

I'm so happy to have my house back. I stripped the bed sheets 32 seconds after they were out the door and just redressed the guest room bed. I plan on sleeping in there so I do not have to disturb him by slipping into the bedroom. 

We have our home inspection set up for Sunday morning. Here's hoping there is no black mold under all the carpeting in the attic, right?

There are things we know the house needs. First off a patio set (I need that more than the house does, to be honest) for the front porch. She will need some electrical work, the outlets in the living room are ancient and need upgraded. And there are a couple recessed can lights in the basement that do not work. We need it painted inside. I'm thinking the living room / dining room first and for certain.  The upstairs bedrooms are in good condition, I like the color on the wall in 2/3 of the room. 

Doug has claimed the Green Room as his office. He's planning to take our Stickley chair and he'd like to get a loveseat for that room, or another guest bed maybe. I don't like the green on the walls in there but if he wants it for his office I've got no complaints at all. He also has no say in the fact I'm filling the bookshelves with all our books. 

There's a little sun room off the dining room and I'll probably set my office up in there. I think I need a desk chair, I don't want to sit in a dining room chair. That'll kill my back, and it is one reason I currently sit on the love seat with a lap desk. 

Here's my picture of the space and the listing picture with some furniture in it. She's cute for a Chrissie office. I'll say that much. 

Either that, or this room is where a treadmill can go (Doug's idea since he doesn't go to the gym and I walk inside the house so why not) and I can continue to lapdesk. Also, the living room is huge, so it could have an office setup at one end. Certainly it will have shelves of plants and everything. 

We have a whole ass guest room where the current guest room furniture will go. Queen bed, etc. 

Planning Geoff's basement apartment in my brain. 

C told me once you start imagining all your things in what room they'll go.... it's your house. So it seems this is my house. 

We shall see. Tomorrow being Friday, I'm looking forward to the first day of hopeful relaxation in my own house. And then who knows what for Saturday, and Sunday is the home inspection and I drive back to Richmond to be with my cousin Monday and Tuesday. 

So many plot lines.
