Here is the new desk with the laptop and the file cabinet in their own area. The wireless "thingy" is hooked up there - sits next to the lamp. The black book looking "thingy" is my external hard drive. This is quite a roomy spot in the living room, behind the sectional. And this arrangement still gives way plenty of space for the living room area. This is about the last place to photograph and show you how the house is looking. I asked the furniture delivery men to move the file cabinet to this corner, because I had filled it with all that goes in there. They seemed to be glad to do it, but said it was heavy - I wasn't surprised and glad not to have to move it myself.
The family gave me a printer for Christmas and it is sitting on the file cabinet now. (I will hook it up in a few days - I probably have enough to do for a few days and want to have a quiet uninterrupted time to do the printer. Even with the laptop there are still lots of cords stuffed down behind the desk. There are places that need artwork or decor hung on bare walls, but still thinking about what will go where.
Last night I made some phone calls, and especially enjoyed talking to my sister Gloria for a while. We had a good visit. She had a bunch of her family visiting over Christmas and they had left earlier in the day. I tried to call Iris and didn't get her so will try another time. This afternoon I talked to Betty Pfaff and she had some great skiing stories to tell.
Today, as usual when I get up, I had lots of plans to get things done during the day, but as much as I would like doesn't get done. I got the dogs brushed and they enjoyed that very much. Raven made it clear she didn't want me to stop. I did vacuum - after brushing the dogs. I'm planning on having the small art group come over on Tuesday and will fix us some lunch. So need to get the house cleaned up some.
Guess the Power Company had enough complaints about them turning off the power in the coldest part of the year to put in new equipment, and they are now going to wait a few months until they do that. Good thinking!
Can't believe it's nearly New Year's Eve and a new year coming up. Well, better go get a "shower" and ready for watching some TV and bed time.
