My stuff is here!

My stuff was delivered yesterday around 17:30--they just dropped the pallets off at the door and we unwrapped the plastic from around them and brought the stuff into the house. A bunch of our friends, some truly wonderful guys who live a short walk away, came over and helped us carry stuff inside. We fed them some cookies, and they hurried on their way. The evening was then spent happily organizing stuff in preparation for unpacking. archinonlive got the server cabinet moved to the other side of the closet in which it resides, so now we can access the clothes hanging rod in that closet and have a space to store the garb. I assembled my paperback shelves and we got them attached to the wall and ready to fill. If one counts the shelves I have now unpacked 12 of the 50 items that have been shipped. I would have loved to do more, but we needed to get to sleep at a reasonable hour, since today is a day that archinonlive has to start his work day with a four hour drive, which meant that he had to get up at 04:00 so that he would get to the site at a reasonable hour. Therefore I managed to restrain myself and *not* start unpacking any of the boxes of kitchen stuff.

The plan for today is to focus on finishing the editing job which is due tonight (I managed to complete the first pass before the stuff arrived, so now it is just a matter of reading it a couple more times and tweaking it a bit to read even better) and, if there is still time get the kitchen stuff unpacked and washed and arranged in an organized manner on the table and counter, so that once he gets home he can see what needs to be fit into the cupboards and we can work out together where things will live, and if there are now duplicate items if we want to get rid the extras, store them, or if they will be used and so kept. I also have Swedish class to attend. But I may need a nap first--getting up at 04:00 when one didn't go to bed till nearly midnight isn't the best thing to keep one's energy levels up...
