- relaxing after a very active day.
- have helped mom and dad unpack in their new apartment, it's a whole life packed in those cardboard boxes. Kitchen stuff was the most awful stuff to unpack, clothes will be unpacked later, when their new bedroom closet gets assembled.
- later, their new sofa, dad's new chair and foot stool arrived together with the bedroom closet. We unpacked the chair, footstool and sofa (I *hate* vaccuum wrap plastic!), and I assembled the sofa, hefting it around, up, down, upside down and all, to screw the legs on the thing.
- when I got home, I went bananas and started drilling holes for all the stuff that I've so far been using nails for, and I put up a coat rack behind my bedroom door, which has been lying around for ages - it felt
wonderful to
finally be able to put that one up, and use it for my clothes!
- hung a couple of old-fashioned brass candle holders on the wall in my wee hallway, plus drilled in a screw for my mirror the same place. I won an electric screwdriver at the christmas dinner yesterday, so all that screwing-in-screws was a piece of cake.
I did have an electric screwdriver already, but this new one is better quality, and the engine in it is stronger - yay!
I love power tools!
And dad let me have his old hammer drill when he cleaned up his workshop at the old house, plus a few other tools (jigsaw, sander), so now I definitely need a bigger tool box - I want one for christmas.
- pondering visiting the local burger joint, Charlie Burger, for a pork sandwich (- big!), and the neighboring Blockbuster for crisps and maybe a good movie.
- may I sleep now??? *giggle*
to you and the Mrs Charles!
Finally all those years of being a pack-rat might have paid off for me!
