an inhabitant of ...

The living room has come together sufficiently to have people over, which I've done a few times now. One guest is Comfortable, two are Very Slightly Cramped For Space. Hoping to try three and some gaming sometime soon. If that works out, perhaps a larger game-day in August. Larger would of course require significant furniture arranging, but if I can host one game easily I can host at least two and possibly three.

Still to be done:

• Get rid of carpet and broken bedframe
  
• Clear off the top of the dresser (mostly to storage?)
  
• Hang art
  
• Under-bar wire basket, for foil/clingwrap/etc
  
• New kitchen shelf (to be done at Erin's this weekend)
  
• Move more stuff from coat closet to storage
  
• Deal with four bankers' boxes of Office Misc

And that ... that's it, at least I think it is.

There's other small household upgrades I'd like: a medicine cabinet for the bathroom, a new bedframe or at least a headboard, a couple of specific lamps. Pots&pans are stored on top of cabinets & the fridge, which works well enough that I don't think I'll try putting in a hanging rack.

I'm considering trying to reduce my bookshelves by one, which would I think give me a place to hang my stick vacuum. (I forget whether there's actually an outlet behind the bookcase I'm thinking of, and have so far been too lazy to look.) That would entail a Serious Purge sometime in the next few weeks. Not impossible; it's been on my mind anyway, for whatever reason.

It's been a difficult landing indeed, but it's getting there.
