Move it, Move it, Move it!

So it's movin time again... this time, helpin my folks. With all of their new purchases, they have to make room for them.

The New TV

First was movin their old tv hutch from downstairs to upstairs. It was relegated to the basement after their last new tv didn't fit in it. Mom hated that... the hutch matches her Victorian themed decor, but that tv was supposed to help equalize the sound to help Pop's sensitive ears and still let everybody else hear what's going on. That ended up a bust. So now they're trying an LCD... and it fits in the hutch! So up from the basement it came.

This happened Friday night. You know... when I was in pain and on drugs. But I'd already promised them I'd help them... and it had to be done that night cuz the tv was showing up the next day. At least the movers had agreed to haul the behemoth tv downstairs. I'll say this much for pain, drugs and moving furniture: On the one hand, adrenaline produces pain-dulling endorphins. On the other hand, my pain medication makes me short of breath, lightheaded and a bit unsteady. It was an interesting evening. But I obviously survived.

The New Bed

Next came the bed(s). Mom and Pop have gone through one specialized mattress after another, trying to find something comfortable for the both of them. Their most recent reject is a Tempurpedic, currently being replaced with a Beauty Sleep mattress. It's poofy. If this doesn't work out for the both of them, they may end up just sleeping in separate beds.

Amway, the Tempurpedic had to go downstairs in the guest room (this happened Wednesday), while the Queen bed in the guest room came out to perch smack in the middle of the family room downstairs. Until they figure out if they still need it or not. So we may be done moving the beds... or not.

The New Recliner

Next is the couch. I think I previously mentioned that I'm taking their old couch off of their hands, to help make room for another reject recliner in the basement. Their new recliner has yet to be delivered. Amway, we may be (hopefully) moving the couch this weekend. Pop's concerned about getting it into the back of his truck with the permanently-fused camper shell, so I asked IHOP Buddy if she'd mind lending us the use of her truck... and possibly her hubby.

It was the gameplan for a while, but then IHOP Hubby's sister's premie died this week, and my friend thought they might be having the funeral over the weekend. After talking to her last night, though, I found out the funeral's on Monday... but her hubby is still driving back home kinda late on Saturday. So it depends on how he feels... hopefully we can get it done on Sunday.

Rollin Right Along

I have a bit of furniture shifting to do, myself, to prepare for the couch. There's a big old cabinet smack in the way of where I want the futon to go in the game room. I can probly handle that on my own, but I'll have to have help moving the futon. I hope to get a lot done in the library too... including putting together my last two bookcases and finally getting all of my books out of the pile of boxes in the corner.

Either way, I'm lookin at a pretty busy weekend. :) At least I got all of my plants potted, repotted and squared away this past week. A lot of other things were waiting for them to get done, so now I can forge right on ahead.
