So my plans were a little off for last night. Ended up putting the umbrella up first. Fairly easy. It's tall though. Way taller than anything else in the neighborhood. Awesome. Tracy made some sort of steak and veggie stir fry over mashed potatoes, which we ate on the deck, at the dining table, on the folding chairs, under the umbrella. After that I went to work on the bedroom furniture, getting the bed together, and then spending more time and effort on getting the bench together. But everything worked out. The wood on the bed and bench don't match the nightstands and dresser exactly, but it's close enough, and Tracy had picked out a perfect sized rug for the bedroom too. She also got the dining rooms chairs out of the boxes and set up in the living/dining room. So seriously coming together. All that's left is the desk to put together tonight, and then some wall hangings, and then waiting for the couch, and decorating. And, we're planning on actually sleeping there tonight. First time. Only 17 days after we bought it. Nice. We'll have to pack up some clothes at the old place, probably not all of them. It's a good chance to do some closet cleaning out as well. Speaking of the old place, the remote is on the fritz, and I need to reconfigure it, which I can't at the old place because there is no internet, and the Harmony remotes use the internet to configure, which is awesome. I should probably just take it to the new place, and just use the old remotes at the old place. This just means we haven't been watching any TV for the past week or so. Just using the Apple TV.
