Ikea has hit our home

This blog has not been generating a lot of comments lately and I’m certain this new post will do nothing to change that. That’s ok because I have my hands full trying to put together all of the Ikea madness that hit our home recently. I can barely feel my fingertips due to all of the twisting of the little screws and the particular pain that Ikea exacts. Here’s what I started to tackle last night.

Bear’s new dresser (I hope)

This lovely thing comes with a million and one boards, even more connecting parts and 56 steps.

Yowee!

I decided these needed to be organized a bit.

Ta da!

At 9:15, I threw in the towel and acknowledged I had lost the round. I’ll be back again tonight and am determined that the dresser will look as the god of Ikea intended.

So. Much. Crap.

New house with crap from old condo

Everything up from the basement in the condo

Progress!

Ta da!

Empty!

Seriously empty

I seriously can’t believe this is empty

Big kudos and lots of gratitude to AO for all of his work to make the basement look like this. I did work, too, but I hung with Molly for most of Saturday while he did the final (read: five) load(s).

Done!

I think we should probably move every two years or never move at all.

Molly’s empty room

Remember when this was her room?

Bye-bye, condo. Thanks for a good run. You will be missed. Especially come December.

We’re really leaving. I swear.

And … scene!

April is the cruelest ?$&@&$!?$& month

Early this evening, we made the painful decision that Gracie’s rapid and serious decline in health made it necessary for us to end her suffering and let her rest. We are truly devastated, but feel some solace knowing she is no longer suffering. This blog will go silent for a time as we mourn the loss of our sweet baby girl.

True love

Can’t concentrate

I have so much work to do. A ton of work to get done before we go on vacation (!!!) next week. It is kind of making me queasy to think about how it will all get done.

But I can’t do it.

I can’t concentrate.

I’m going crazy.

Where in the F&^$#$#(*))^$#*@#!&* is that F*&%#!@&*%@!ing plane!?!?!?!?!?
