Move a little, buy a little

rug

With all of things we still have to move, you've got to wonder how we could possibly need to buy anything at all. But amazingly enough, even with all we have to choose from, sometimes nothing fits the bill.

Yesterday we bought an area rug, which should arrive in about two weeks. All the rugs we currently own are primarily red, which doesn't work with the aqua/natural/black colors of the great room.

And among the millions of tables we have to choose from, what we don't have is one that's side-table height with a drawer where Bud can store his collection of remotes. So we bought one of those yesterday also, but it won't arrive for eight to 12 weeks. So it's box city on Bud's side of the sofa 'til then.

Today, we're planning to move some larger pieces of furniture and the treadmill. The 'mill goes upstairs, and since Gary and Jimmy are going to replace the handrail on the front stairs Monday, we thought getting it up there before then was a good idea.

Laura's dad does, in fact, have pancreatic cancer. And it's inoperable, which isn't surprising but is very sad. Chemotherapy could be an option, if he wants to pursue it -- but even that's not certain until after a consultation with the chemo docs.
