If by "magic" you mean "cleaning a bathroom and carting a carload of crap across town tomorrow so I can finally start sleeping here"... well, yeah.

That can be magic as well, a good night sleep that is.

Your first overnight stay will probably seem utterly strange but, that'll pass.

The mattress cover get dry yet?

Your desktop looks like icons-r-us

I dunno, I had a nap a couple weekends ago and didn't have any trouble feeling comfortable. And it's certainly a lot more peaceful here than in my old neighborhood.

Yep. A friend came over today for a couple hours and I took advantage of that to get done a couple things that I knew would be far easier with two people. Getting the cover back on the mattress was one of them.

Already got the pad and the fitted sheet and one pillow on there, just need to add the cover sheet and a bankie and a couple more pillows and bring my comforter over in case it turns cold again.

Lol, it's usually not that bad. I had to download a lot of docs in the course of buying the condo and I just saved them all to my desktop for easy access. I'll have to go through them later and "file" them all in a proper folder. A lot of the other stuff is mods I've downloaded for Skyrim but haven't looked at yet, so once again they're stowed on the desktop so I don't forget that I still need to check them out before possibly adding them to the mix. If and when I ever get back to playing.

OH SKYRIM I MISS YOU SO MUCH.

Gotta love a Skrim junkie.

OY WHAT A DAY.

In anticipation of my first night staying over in the new place, I packed and transported two carloads of stuff starting about 9 AM this morning. It was all made even more fun by the fact that I woke up about 3 AM and couldn't get back to sleep for a couple hours, so I'm already tired when I get started. But pretty much everything is out of my bedroom except for some holiday stuff in the closet and, you know, furniture that I can't move until we have the truck. So not too shabby.

Anyhoo - got everything carried in and where it needed to go temporarily, at least mostly, and ordered my first LaRosa's delivery at my new address since I was starving. Had a hoagie for lunch and got a salad for later which I never ate and will have for dinner tomorrow I guess. Finished eating and got started on laundry and getting the master bath cleaned and set up so I could start actually living here.

Yikes, that took... WAY longer than expected. Doesn't it always? It was complicated by the fact that I spent about an hour and a half trying to hook up my showerhead, only to have it leak/spray water all over me and my nice mostly clean bathroom every single time no matter what I did. And I hooked it up right, but either something got busted in transit or I'm missing a washer somewhere. Took apart the showerhead left by the last owner and pulled washers out of that to see if they would help but nothing worked. Maybe whatever I needed is still in the bathroom back at the apt, I wonder if a washer got stuck up in the pipe or something and I didn't get it out.

Anyway that was getting really frustrating, here I was *this* close to being done, just needed to hook the showerhead up, and looking forward to having a nice shower and getting all the grime and sweat off... it's REALLY hot here today, even with AC running and ceiling fans there's just no way NOT to be hot and sweaty when you're working in a small upstairs room. Another reason I really, really hate cleaning bathrooms. I couldn't get my Waterpik to work and there was no way I was using the one that was in there when I arrived, it was really icky. Fortunately I remembered there was also another showerhead in the guest bath and checked that out and it looked relatively new and was a snap to clean up. Why it wasn't in the master bath to begin with is anybody's guess.

So, that was my day, and I didn't get done near what I'd hoped I would, but at least I accomplished something. And I did take a few pics.

Frau Kaleun has books!

Most of what's stacked along that wall is just... books. And there are still more boxes of them in my apt.

Laundry done?

CHECK.

Bathroom acceptably clean and functional?

CHECK.

And what about sleepy time?

Bed is ready, repeat, bed is ready. Makeshift nightstand reports Monday morning alarm is set. Pillow fort enabled. Comforter and extra bankie on standby. WE ARE GO FOR BEDDIE-BYE!

It'll be interesting to see how screwy my morning is, I'm not a morning person so I have a routine and have had for many years, I know exactly where everything is that I need, which hand to use to reach for it and when, what drawer to open, what order to do things in to get ready in the shortest amount of time possible so I can sleep as late as possible.

Tomorrow, nothing will be where my addled early morning brain will expect it to be. I've got stuff laid out and handy but I'm sure it will still be interesting.
