Today I went over to my grandma's house to help my dad, sister, and
brother move furniture and other things. I was about ten or fifteen
minutes late getting over there but I'll blame my dad. The last I
heard he said he was aiming for noon today and I wanted to check in
on that because there have been times (or at least time) in the past
where I was about to head out the door and then found out my brother
had handled everything himself or that something came up and it
wasn't happening. So twenty minutes before noon I texted my dad.
Never heard back. Shortly after noon I texted my sister and found
out everyone was already over there. So yeah.
When I got there we started by moving one of the chairs in the living
room into my grandma's bedroom. Then we moved the other living room
chair into the office to make room for the Christmas tree. And we
moved the loveseat from the office, back into the living room, which
we originally moved out of the living room when my grandma broke her
leg. We moved it out of the office to make room for the twin bed
that we moved out of my grandma's bedroom. Another remnant of my
grandma's broken leg. Moving the bed out made room for her old bed,
which we wrestled up from the basement. There may or may not be
scratched on the wall on the stair landing from my sister and I
trying to make the turn with the bed frame. Right when we laid it
down in the bedroom the whole thing fell apart. Had I known it came
apart that easily I would have taken it apart in the basement and
made a much easier trip of it. There was a brief worry about where
the bolts for the headboard were but those were found and the bed was
quickly put back together. Relatively quickly. Then we set the
Christmas tree up and hung the Christmas wreath outside the door.
There was a hunt for nails after getting the wreath hung because the
cord for the lights had to go over the door frame and at least a
couple of the old nails had disappeared. But nails were found and we
got the cord safely pinned out of the way of the door.
All of that took about an hour and a half I'd say, maybe two hours.
When I got home I started recording the Yogcast live stream and then
took a nap. I was still a little tired for not getting enough sleep
last night and I knew there was a midnight show tonight so I would be
at work at lest until midnight. The nap was a success.
Work went more smoothly tonight than last night. Not because things
were fixed, because they weren't, but I was aware of them so I could
handle it. And I knew about the midnight show, so I could actually
get that started at midnight. Which was worth it because we doubled
our audience from last night. So, two people came. Silent Night,
Deadly Night is a definite draw.
I spent my night playing video
games. Starting with Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
The slingshot and ax have still not shown up in the shop. I'm
beginning to think that they won't show up until after the store is
upgraded. Which will be awhile. Despite that, I made some progress.
Selling things, buying things, paying off some of my home loan, and
donating fish and fossils to the museum. Then I played a bunch of
Pokemon Y. It is a
pretty addictive game but it also reaches a point where it get really
annoying just trying to get from point A to point B and being
constantly interrupted by battles. And when that happened, I moved
onto Ocarina Of Time.
Such a fun game. I finally made it to the fishing pond and it only
took me a few tries to get a ten-pound fish, which was bigger than my
small child body.
Oh, I also made a paper flower out
of strips I cut out of a magazine. I knew length would be an issue
so I cut the strips just under a half an inch wide to help a little
(the strips we used in sixth grade on Friday were about an inch
wide). The flower was pretty much a success but I was only able to
do the 3D part on one side because there wasn't enough length on the
other side. It still looked pretty cool though.
