Not happy? Change something...
Jul. 23rd, 2012 01:58 pmin an effort to have the feeling that I have some control over what's going on in my life I Made Kim help me rearrange the living room furniture.
we moved the TV/AV setup in front of the fireplace we have literally never used.
it took far longer than I had thought, mostly because neither one of us noticed that some of the couch bits have to go together a certain way for all the end bits to fit. Ikea couch, modular, and far too many ways to not put it together correctly.
this also allowed me to have a space to put a chair, something I've been missing for a while.
but the springs on the chair are a bit saggy, and the table I've got for my computer doesn't quite fit properly.
so I'm going to try to fix the chair, dunno what I can to about the table. maybe I can build a swing arm kind of arrangement.
we spent about 4 or 5 hours doing all this, so that we can fit more of the people we never invite over into the apartment.
next project is the office that still needs to be cleared out in order to turn it into a bedroom so that when one of us is unable to sleep due to being sick or whatever they can go to an actual bed instead of the couch.
but to do that we also have to move everything in what we call the library, since it's got all the bookcases and such, so basically over the next month it's a huge game of furniture rock-pile in the apartment
