I woke up at 12:30pm after about 6 hours of sleep. Hurting. I wonder if that was contributing to my inability to sleep last night. I took half a pain pill with my morning meds and waited for it to kick in. Shortly after it did, along with 2-3 cups of coffee, I was off and running again! It's tiring, and sometimes painful, but I'll take these bouts of restless, "I can do anything!" moments of energy over depression any day.
So off and running I was: washed down 2 more bookcases, unloaded three boxes of books into them, moved one (before I put the books in it), then I tackled the entertainment center! (If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the moooorning, I'd hammer in the eeevening, all over this laaaand! ...and yes, I really wandered around singing it while I searched for, and miraculously found, the hammer.)
There I was! Armed and Dangerous! Well, wielding a hammer and a screwdriver, so I guess not really dangerous, but I was armed! First step - untangle all these wires left over from my "Tech-No" experiment trying to hook up the TV antenna. Still no signal and I have no idea what I did wrong. Well, really, I have no idea what to do right, so obviously I didn't do it. We wait for Dad. :-)
Second - move the center away from the wall! Somehow, I managed it. Pop out all the useless nails and screws. Replace useless nails and screws with strategically placed, useful nails and screws. Done!
Third - dust off shelves and set in place. Place equipment on proper shelves and thread wires through holes conveniently made for this purpose. Allow me to mention that said equipment included a "too-heavy-for-me" TV. Yeah... I probably shouldn't have done that...but I did!
Lastly - move entertainment center back near wall...or at least closer to wall since at about this time my degenerating back decided it had enough! I'll wait for Dad. I probably should have done that all along. My friend says I am just over-ambitious.
