I was all set to go downstairs and play video games, and instead I cleaned out a kitchen cabinet and reorganized two drawers. At least I did something productive? I did eventually play on the Switch, but the diversion was a strange left turn from what I had been expecting to do. I blame the french press coffee for a) taking more time; and b) making me dig through the cabinet that holds my coffee supplies and decide it was time to reorganize it. Then I still had time on the coffee, and a bunch of kitchen towels that needed to be put away, so that drawer got redone, old ratty towels got tossed, plastic freezer bags got consolidated, etc. Then the dishwasher got emptied, which meant some minor reorganizing of the drawer that holds the various plastic food containers. Whee.

The two big excitements of the day were getting some more furniture delivered (a sleeper couch for the husband's top floor space, and a reading chair for the downstairs room), and figuring out how to turn the alarm system's fucking door chime off (the one that beeps every time an outside door opens). Both things tend to send the cats under the bed, but with the alarm now off, hopefully Benjamin won't go into full on under-the-bed panic every time we need to take recycling to the bins in the garage.

Past that, I remembered we still have two clamp lights that have Hue bulbs that we hadn't put up, so I attached one to some shelving in the slightly-rearranged office. Still need storage for there, and a real office chair, but frankly it made more sense to prioritize the husband's spaces first. And we did try to get some shelving at Ikea yesterday, but they didn't have the one we wanted.

So after hanging the light I spent a good chunk of the evening watching movies on my Kindle fire (clamped to a side table with this handy little stand) and finished a big chunk of a cross-stitch I'm working on for the rest of my nuclear family now that they've all moved to Texas (a "home sweet home" design over an outline of the state). Not as vigorous as knitting, but it was what I needed for the day. Oh, and I unpacked the last box for the bedroom and rearranged some drawers in a better way (waiting for furniture to show up is deadly boring and I needed something to do).

Tomorrow's plan is to try cooking a pork tenderloin and see if the husband will eat it. And figure out something to do with the green beans and the broccoli in the fridge.
