The past four days, RT and I have been slowly emptying the two storage rooms I’ve had rented since July 2006 when I moved in with him.  Fifteen months of paying monthly storage room fees.  Each time we uncovered another item, I was thrilled to see yet another old friend.  It has been like Christmas in October.  My dining rooms suite - I LOVE it!  My curio cabinet, my antique desk - the pretty rose-colored bowl that belonged to my grandmother.  My favorite bedroom suite - my first furniture purchase when I was newly single ten years ago - is now set up in the girls’ bedroom (i.e. downstairs guest room).  I’ve dusted and cleaned, vaccuumed and sorted, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.  And there are still a few more items left.  So Christmas will continue for a few more days.

The past two days I’ve been off work - my two personal leave days for the year.  Tomorrow I will get back into the routine of work.  I sure wish I had a couple weeks at home with nothing to do but work on getting this house exactly like we want it.  It is a lot of fun.  Exhausting, but fun.
