      We’ve been going through a bit of “moving in” ourselves! Finally installed a lot of shelves around the house to get the boxes of curios and Knickknacks up. I cleared out the room that will be our secondary media room (read ManCave), painted, and I mounted the TV last night. We also have started getting more pictures hung and are converting several older ones to PDF and are getting a few digital frames to alternate the pictures… Starting to settle in after 9 years…

      I hate this adulting shit of not being able to live out of one room. I'd still do it were it not for the family revolt I'd have on my hands.

      Karla was asking me how I am adjusting to having the kittens. I said the kittens are great, but it’s the new additional stuff we need to have in the house… We finally start decluttering, opening up space, and now we add in multiple cat trees, big honking litterboxes, and other new stuff to keep the kitties happy.

      Yeah, we have the same issue with grandkids....

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              I dunno what you're talking about with that second one. I often race to the bathroom only to find that one of them beat me in there so you know what? Buddy system, kitty, I gotta go and I'm bigger than you.

              We talk in the bathroom sometimes.

              Please love yourself.

                  Thanks, blondie! I didn't really work at it with any intention, I just... never got rid of any books. And the way things are going now, I'm glad I didn't.

                  Please love yourself.

                    Love the collection, Aqua. Reminds me of my friend Sondra who had an incredible book collection that was sadly scattered to the wind through her estate sale.

                      @Aqua-Letifer You inspire me Aqua. I’ve been downsizing for years now, but have this little remaining collection of books from my dad. Early prairie homesteading, farming, ranching stuff. I’ve no one to leave these books to, have been looking for a small town museum or something similar, but ya know, I might just keep them. They don’t take up a lot of space. I like that they’re from my dad and his dad & grandpa before him.

                        That's great, blondie! I'm going to give mine to my daughter if she wants them (I'm going to try to get her hooked early but you never know with these things), but if that doesn't work I'll donate them to a library or writer's center. My grandmother would really like that.

                        Please love yourself.

                            I go back to mine all the time. I'd be silly to get rid of them.

                              I once considered suggesting to Mrs. Phibes that we could get rid of all her old books and slowly replace them with Kindle versions.

                              Luckily I came to my senses before opening my stupid mouth, because the alternative would have been coming to my senses in a hospital ward at some point later.

                              I was only joking
