The Project

And, here you have it.   Come winter the air conditioner will roll into that spot in the top closet - just there on the bottom left. 

And the vertical floor fan will sit in the bottom closet there on the bottom left. 

All nice and tidy.  And there is more I can trash or take to downstairs storage if I need to.

And now I can find stuff.  Finally. 

Those curtains hide each cabinet.  And I vacuumed and I removed the dead parts of the geraniums and watered.  All is nice there now.

Then I had a shower.  Whew.  And watched Chelsea Lately from last night.  I'm still trying to figure her out but so far, she's filling in while my other quick junk hits are in reruns or stupid teen tournaments.

Then I decided I was hungry so I walked across the parking lot and got some Orange chicken from the Thai place and brought it back and that did the trick.

My friend, John, died a year and a half ago.  We were close friends for a dozen years and very good friends for his last five.   We were not lovers or soul mates or anything dramatic at all. I miss him but time heals.  What time isn't doing is removing him from my dreams.  The bastard is always turning up in them and it's beginning to annoy me.  There is a lot of him in this house - pictures from our travels, stuff he brought me, gifts and stuff that I really treasure and don't want to get rid of.  But, if he doesn't get out of my dreams I'm going to consider it.  Geesh. 

In the closet purge I found a box of cigarette lighters.  He spent two years in Japan and two years in Australia when he worked with the Olympics (he worked for IBM).  I still smoked and hated those fucking child proof lighters.  At the time, neither Japan nor Australia felt the need to protect their child smokers so good lighters were in abundance and he kept me well supplied.  I eventually tossed out all of them except this batch.  They are really nice ones with the characters from the Nagano Olympics on them. 

Guess that's what got him into last night's dream but I'd really really really like it if he's go be in someone else's dream or just go mind his own dead business.
