Intro

I entered middle age a few years ago...okay, a little more than a few. Our daughters are 28 and 26. After they left, I cautiously redecorated their bedrooms. I did the usual, donated "Lucky" brand jeans (left from 3rd grade) and stuffed animals to a local thrift store. Next, I threw away countless plastic bags from "The Gap" and other retailers. Some of them included various amounts of change, which of course I took as my housekeeping fee. Every $6.40 helps!

I slowly bought new furniture items that I liked - a futon and frame, small roll-top desk, area rugs and lamps. One room was starting to resemble my new "office" which would double as a guest room when necessary. One morning as I was getting ready to leave for work, I heard (and felt) a very large boom-crash. I cautiously walked upstairs to find the dust clearing and about half of the ceiling of my new room on the floor. Ah, the joys of owning an antique house...

...and now the 'after' picture

I know it doesn't look that much different to the naked eye, but I had already given a bunch of the containers away last year. I did fill a small box to take to the thrift store, but the main thing I gained was a drawer for a few small appliances. Now my collapsible salad spinner and immersion blender have a home and the Magic Bullet is off the counter! Yay, I was able to go to bed feeling good about that!

Tomorrow after work, I get to have a facial. Nighty-night.
