Canada Day House Projects
Happy Canada Day!
What have I done? Besides not sleep well and be up at 4AM, of course?
Well, I had a rebound shopping trip up to Wal-Mart. I say "rebound" because I blithely spent $90 plus taxes on a bookcase to compensate for the ruined furniture painting projects. Almost bought a large mirror, but that was an additional $70 I couldn't swing.
I wasn't sure where to put the bookcase (it's an open-backed one), but it fit nicely upstairs in the hallway. I did try it in a couple of spots downstairs, but nope, it didn't go well in either. So upstairs it went, and the bookcase I had up there came down (again) to go in the corner beside the couch (again). The cheap, low storage unit I got at Zellers back in the winter currently is holding my microwave. I really need something a bit higher for that spot, but this will do for now. I'll pick up some baskets for the towels and dishcloths, so they're not just sitting there in a pile.
So, with the brisk hour+ walk up to Wal-Mart (and yeah, I did stop at Tim Horton's to get an iced coffee and cookie), the cab home, the assembly of the bookcase, the reorganization of furniture and the clean up, well, I've had a reasonably productive day so far.
Hmm, thought I was on vacation for a handful of days. That's okay, I'd rather keep myself busy, thanks. :-)
