End of a Long Day

I started the day by carrying 10 tons of stuff downstairs.

At lunch today I carried two tons of stuff downstairs.

After work I carried five tons of stuff downstairs and put together the TV and hung a bunch of things on the walls.

Just before turning in for the night I carried 20 tons of stuff to the cellar and packed my bags for working in the office tomorrow.

Now it’s 10:00pm. My legs hurt. My back is in utter agony. I’m exhausted to my core. I should really go to sleep.

Naw, I’m going to watch the new episode of MoonKnight instead.

What’s Next for the Cellar

I am on a late lunch break right now, posting a late lunch break bloggie post. So what, you ask? Well I’m doing it from the cellar, the new location of my home office.

This morning before work I brought my desk and filing cabinet along with both computers (one for work, one for not-work), my gigantic monitor, all of the hardware I use for work (camera, headset mic), and a few other things. Most of it is setup now. I have a podcast playing on my MacBook, airplaying through an old HomePod, and a few lamps with internet connected light bulbs. It’s nice and bright down here and everything is working fine.

There is just one hang up, and it’s one we saw coming a mile away. It’s a little cold down here. Not too bad, but a little chilly. I have a light jacket on. I’m fine and dandy. We have a little space heater upstairs that isn’t being used. I’ll probably bring it down here at some point.

So what’s next for the cellar? Tonight we’re going to mount the new TV in the little living room space. There are a few more things to bring down from upstairs, like the exercise bike and the guitar nook. We have some pictures to hang and some signs and things like that. There’s a shelf we want to put on one wall, and a curtain we want to hang in the one little cellar window. We have a bookcase coming and another little cubbyhole looking storage thingie.

After all of that? Just sit back and relax and watch a movie and have my internal organs hacked up and stapled back together. Yeah, that.

Cellar Cat

Back in the pre-cellar flood days, Patches used to enjoy hiding out downstairs. She also seemed to think she wasn’t allowed there too because anytime someone would catch her she sprint up the stairs at a world record pace.

After the floor and the walls were ruined we made sure the door was always closed to keep her out. Safety first, right?

Now that the construction is complete we were planning on letting her explore again. Tonight Jen and I spent a few minutes just enjoying the space. Patches snuck down the stairs and, after a lot of reassurance from us, joined us on the new couch.

She was a little hyper. This was the best picture I got. She’s both furry and blurry.

Win and Winning

The Bruins beat the Panthers tonight. Woah! Sure FLA is the best team in the East by a mile and have nothing to really play for in the last days of the regular season, but still… cool! We beat the Panthers!

I checked the Red Sox score too, expecting some karmic balancing, but the Red Sox are leading the Blue Jays in the eighth. Wow! I probably jinxed them, of course, but cool!
