MOVING AGAIN

Now that I have Richard at home on vacation for the next nine days (yay), I plan to use some of his muscle power to help me rearrange my bedroom (again). I have also asked him to come up with some new ideas about where to put my danged bed!

My choices of rearranging and the location of my bed are limited since one wall opens into my bathroom dressing area, one wall is behind the computer wall of my dining room (said computer is used at odd hours when sonny boy is home), one wall is occupied by the sliders to the balcony and the fourth wall is the über-thin firewall between me and my stay-up-all-night neighbors!

I can’t seem to avoid any of my neighbors’ obnoxious 2:00 a.m. cooking (burning food) odors or the cigarette smoke which seems to permeate the air 24/7. I did find a semi-sound deadening spot to place my bed but now I’m getting the above-mentioned annoyances which wake me at all hours of the morning anywhere from midnight to 6:00 a.m. and not necessarily from next door!

Since our building is a little over 8 years old, it must have settled enough to open up some pretty good ventilation cracks which are all aimed inside my condo instead of outside where they would do the most good. There’s nothing like waking up to the smell of burning food and second-hand smoke residue! Oh, and there is the garage under my bedroom and the occasional(?) garage door opener motor noise which is under my bed no matter where I put it.

Anyway, while awaiting Richard’s suggestions, I have made photo copies of Peaches’ head shots to use in a mostly black and white collage on the wall in my bedroom when all is said and done. I just print them on all-purpose paper stock and they look professional even though they are not glossy. Easy, no? I still need to get five 8 x 10 frames in black and will post a photo when the whole project is complete.

But don’t hold your breath. I’ll probably post them sometime in the unknown future just like I’ve been posting those promised great photos using Photo Shop which I haven’t even begun to learn yet!

What’s the hurry?
