things what I have done today

I cleaned the house! Like, really cleaned it. Well, cleaned part of it. It's going to require a couple more passes through before it's completely done, but. Vacuumed, dusted/cleaned baseboards, dusted the knick-knacks. Then Matthew and I moved furniture. Oi. Our couches are heavy, btw. We shifted both (and I'm embarrassed by the sheer amount of garbage that was under both), and moved his desk. Dusted and vacuumed some more. Moved the corner cabinet into the kitchen, as well as the trunk I got from my grandma. Matthew says, "but mom, my XBox stuff is in that!" to which I replied, "it's five feet away. You can manage that." Heh.

The living room feels more open and accessible now, and my kitchen doesn't seem quite so empty :) I also found a very cheap little dinette table and two chairs for sale on Craigslist, and the folks selling them brought them over here to me!

I had to sit down a lot in between stuff, but I stuck with it and actually accomplished a lot. I'm tired now -- and my muscles feel kind of like jelly -- but it's a good, hey-I-was-productive tired :)

We've had a LOT of Teenaged Angst and Drama (tm) in the house this week: Matthew's and Justin's. But things seem to be settling a bit, thank god, so that's definitely a plus.

And now Matthew and I are watching Gangland. It makes both of us cringe and shake our heads, but we're kind of addicted to it, too.

I think I want a nap. Maybe I'll give in to the urge :) Hope y'all are having a good Saturday.
