In other news, my hubby finished painting the office, and got part of the desk assembled last night. It's nice to have a real desk to work from again, instead of the bay window or the kitchen island. I don't have my computer over here yet, just my laptop, but I can deal with one monitor for now. It feels cozy already (and I mean that in a good way!). I got the spy speaker, I mean Alexa, hooked up yesterday so now I have music in the house, too. Everything's coming together, slowly but surely!
Max really wants us to get some living room furniture soon, though. He thinks this 'laying on the floor like a dog' stuff is for the birds. 😆
(Also, don't feel bad for him. He gets to lay on our bed whenever he wants. Most of the house is carpeted, and the parts that aren't do have a couple of his favorite laying rugs strategically placed for his comfort, and honestly the disgruntled look in this pic is probably more from the fact that we were eating and not sharing as much as he thought we should. He's very spoiled that way.)
Alright, I'm the one who wants us to get some living room furniture soon, and I'm just projecting onto the dog. It's time to take ownership of my own feelings and shout from the roof tops, I AM WHO I AM AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, TOO BAD! Oh, and we also haven't had time to go furniture shopping lately between moving and working, and that also doesn't include the fact that I hate furniture shopping. Well, I'm not a fan of shopping in general, but if I had to rank my least favorite types of shopping in order, "furniture" would be right up at the top of that list. Maybe the very top. I don't feel like finessing that list right now. So, my point being, the fact that I want to go furniture shopping is quite meaningful. Even though we've found plenty of things to keep us busy around the house after supper, or during times when we would otherwise be settling our tired, old butts on the couch or chair and zoning out in front of the TV, it would be nice to have the option to settle our tired, old butts on a couch or chair and zone out in front of the TV for a while again.
Plus, Max needs a place to nap.
And, our living room is just a big open area right now. Well, we have an open-concept floorplan, so the kitchen/living room/dining room are all in one big area, and since we don't have dining room furniture yet either, the open-concept feels REALLY open. The acoustics are awesome, though! I'm not going to pretend that I don't sing my heart out in there when no one else is home. Or even when someone else is home. I am who I am and if you don't like it, too bad! XD
Alright. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining. I'm really not complaining. Just exaggerating my thoughts for entertainment's sake (that's what blogging is, right?!) God has blessed us in so very many ways, and for that I am grateful beyond words. Besides...not having a place to park my lazy butt after supper has helped me set a better habit of cleaning up the house every day instead of saving it all up for the weekends. ;)
And on that note, I have to get back to work. From my beautiful little home office in the middle of the woods and marsh, with my ever-faithful pupper wrapped up in his favorite blanket and snoring away in the corner behind me. Not even kidding.
