Everything's Gonna Be Alright.

I finally emptied all of the big furniture pieces from my outbox. The desk that I had stuck in the kitchen nook/kitchen was the last to go and that seemed to lift a HUGE weight off my shoulders. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the Cure. :)

Even though there are only two weeks left, and I still have a lot do, I'm pretty confident that I'll get it all done.
I'm being a Thanksgiving grinch and staying home by myself to work on my apartment. A four day weekend is exactly what I need, both for my sanity and for finishing the Cure. Thursday and Friday will be spent "curing." Friday night I'm going to make myself a mini post-Thanksgiving day dinner. Saturday I'm teaching a friend how to knit (exciting times!). And Sunday will probably be mostly relaxing, with a little bit of curing thrown in. I might also stroll the neighborhood a bit and maybe pick up another candle or two (I've managed to go through one of them completely already).
Oh, and I'll promise to take lots of photos over the weekend to document my progress. :)

I also need to figure out if I want to coordinate a way to pick up the Ikea Malm bed on Friday (Black Friday, mind you) for $99. I'm fairly certain that it won't fit in my car (81" long definitely will not work), so I'd need to borrow a truck... which is possible, but I'm not sure if I'm up for doing that much work on my time off. We'll see....
