loving Craigslist...

The desk is gone, sold to a young couple who will be moving into a new place in a couple of weeks (actually on my birthday). It is so nice to see some actual empty space in the apartment...

It now looks like I'll be in DC for another year before heading overseas so I definitely want to make some changes to the apartment since I'll be here for another 18 months. Heck if I unload a bit more stuff, I might even be able to move the furniture around- that always makes me happy!

Progress...

A nice young man who just recently moved to DC just took away my box spring to help bolster the IKEA mattress he has been sleeping on since he arrived. A nice young couple is coming to look at the desk tomorrow night; I offered to deliver it if they purchase since they don't have a car. I listed two IKEA desk lamps that I found that haven't been in use for couple of years. I feel progress is being made, and I have a four-day weekend coming up...

Funny how a tiny change can have such an impact...

I don't like to cross reference to ATDC too much, but I have to post about my mom's bathroom. I bought a new faceplate for the outlet there before Christmas, but it didn't fit because of the trim around the door so it has just been sitting there waiting for me to buy a chisel. I finally hit Home Depot this weekend, and this project is officially off the list. I still need to touch up the paint, but that will be done one evening this week.
