House of Shame Progress Report - Day 2

The living room is complete (at least complete enough for me).
I decided that as I was pulling furniture out to sweep, I might as well try a new furniture layout.  Now the treadmill doesn't seem to take command of the room.  My view out the front window is blocked a wee bit but I don't think it will bother me as I can't see the sidewalk from my chair anyway.  I can still see the sunset view through the trees. 
I thought about starting another room, but other than doing dishes and picking up the laundry in the hall, I decided to take the rest of the day off.  After all, it is the weekend. 
Here is a picture of the end result.
 
Part of my laziness today is due to the fact that I stayed up all night watching Hannibal on Netflix.  I thought I'd watch one episode then head off to bed but after the first one, I was hooked!  I managed to get through the day with only a couple short naps so once Misty has had her insulin, I'll be going to bed for a long night's sleep.
 
While I'm here, I would like to send kudos to SaskTel.  I've been having trouble with my internet for a while now but thought it might be my computer.  However, while I was away and using my friends' internet connection, I had no trouble so I knew it wasn't any problem with the laptop.  As usual, I was slow getting around to calling them but finally did so today.  Amazingly, I got through to a person after only about 30 seconds on hold and they are sending a tech out on Tuesday to fix the problem.  They guy I spoke to was very patient with my lack of computer savvy and talked me through my email problem as well.  Now I can send and receive on my SaskTel address.
 
If you are my friend on Facebook, you will likely know about my good luck on Friday.  I had thought I lost my chain with my mom's, Howard's and my wedding rings on it.  Every time I thought about it, I felt sick that I had lost something so precious to me.  Friday evening I was looking for something in my bathroom cabinet when to my utter joy I found the chain!  I did a happy dance and sang all around the house following.  Kayla thought I'd gone crazy but joined in on the fun by dancing with me and joining in on the singing.  I must admit that her voice is much better than mine!  I just had to share my good news on FB and to my amazement I got 24 likes!  That may not seem like much to some of you, but to me, knowing there are at least 24 people who actually read my status and were happy along with me was the icing on the cake!
 
Ain't life grand???
 
Have a super fantastic day (or night) and I'll see you tomorrow.
