Mental clean up on Fridays

mishadayLosing Dad today - he'll be snagging a ride down to Portland this afternoon and taking off for home by tomorrow. And good timing, too - he's done almost all the packing there is to do. I've still got kitchen and bathroom and clothes and other last minute things - I'll be sorting through stuff this weekend, but the bulk of it all - the books and tapes are done: 55 boxes of books, and another 4 for the videos. My walls look like they're made of cardboard.
I'm itching for a zip drive on my iMac at work. All we've got wandering around are the SCSI drives, and those won't exactly work. I'm slowly bringing in different music and ripping it to the hard drive, and as a result, I'm more often than not tied to the computer by my headphones - they don't reach far enough to type at the other computer. Oh the pain! I'd really like to be able to write from my work computer.
Laurier's not feeling well - he was being a pukey kitty this morning - couldn't even keep water down. Dad's keeping an eye on him, and if this continues, to the vet he goes. This does make me glad that the main common areas aren't going to be carpetted. Cat puke is so much easier to clean off of wood and linoleum.
I have about half of my new room planned, in that I have a vague idea of where things will go and which bookshelves will work where. The windows, though - they're throwing me off a little. I'm not quite sure what short things will be going where - foldy shelves and the bureau... the cat perches, really. There's going to be this lovely open space in the middle, though - I'm envisioning dancing space or reading on the floor space or just open, lying in the sun space.
I may be buying more furniture come October - another dresser, tv shelves for downstairs, chairs for the dining room... it'll depend alot on what the others bring in, though, so I'll be patient. <drums fingers> Sort of.
