[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 661206, member: 1963"] Well, I found a computer desk, stark modern light oak finish, doesn't even exist in the same reality as the rest of my bedroom furnishings, but sits nice, and has everything I need within easy reach without straining any arthritic bits. It's USEFUL AND VERY EFFICIENT and comfy, which is a lot more important than aesthetic considerations. I'd love to be able to put up a folding screen around it to hide it from view, but several rather traumatic experiences over the years have taught me that decorative screens and lunatic cats just do not go together well. Dinner tonight was a the trout, which came out rather nicely, I enjoyed a couple of glasses of the chardonnay it was poached in and B made a nice pork chop using my recipe for Greek style marinade. Made the kitchen smell really weird from cooking French fish and Greek pork at the same time, but it was tasty. Tomorrow is the rest of the stroganoff, after which I am giving my poor liver and gall bladder a break for a bit and going vegetarian for a week or so. The early part of the day was taken up frantically calling various vendors, etc to correct my ship to address on their records/BOLs/manifests, etc., I have to go tomorrow to a couple of places locally and see if I can find bedding and towels, or at least bedding. Friday is going to be absolutely insane what with all the deliveries showing up. B has offered to help me unpack when household goods show up. Add in that I still have to find my way out to the far SW suburbs of Chicago to pick up my good china and some table linen, which will require sleeping over at the house of he friend storing them for me, and its gonna be a while before the insanity ends. I'll have to leave the cats at B&J's while the stuff is being delivered in order to prevent escapes. It's either that or lock them in the bathroom and listen to them howl. It'll have to pick up a couple of floor mats to put under the littepans as it looks like I'll be parking the litterpans on carpet, which hoovers. Speaking of which, have been researching vacuums to try to find one that is light enough for me to hoik around, but heavy-duty enough to pick up cat hair and dander. So far, the Sharp (of all things) ounds like the best bed. They make one designed for pet owners that is getting good reviews. Expensive though. However, if it works, it'll be cheaper than replacing a vacuum every couple of years due to it choking on pet hair. [/QUOTE]
