So it's Monday, then?

I think I put in a full two days' worth of work over the weekend. Didn't get home until 11 last night. Urrgh. I have a whole week in front of me?

Slowly piecing things together

The bed is back in the bedroom, now that we have walls again. The rug is down, which helps with the echoing, too. I still have to wash the curtains properly, so those aren't up yet. We have to monitor the floorboards in the corner, so the computer remains in the living room, the bookshelf in the guest room, and most of the art off the walls. But we can sleep somewhere other than the futon in the living room, we have enough living room over that we're comfortable having the gaming group over again (and can fit them), and we have access to all our clothes again. (We'd grabbed a week or so worth, and then covered everything in plastic. I was down to my last set of underwear when the paint finally dried enough to move back in.)

The stress at work and the construction at home have not been helping each other. Not getting a weekend made it worse. I was a zombie at work today, and I'm so very tired tonight.

But it's amazing how huge our bed feels after two weeks on the futon.
