general Back to regularly scheduled programming

I hung my great big wood mirror on the empty wall of my bedroom. It’s centered, and level, but it’s lower than I’d like—but it’s so heavy that there’s no way I could get it any higher.

I hung the two little column-capital-shaped shelves on either side, and put the Death statue on one of them. I can’t imagine what I could put on the other, really. They have yet to come out with a Sandman statue I really like.

I unpacked three boxes of books and distributed them between my room, Lin’s room, Max’s room, and the basement.

I unpacked the last two duffel bags of clothes, and still did not find the black tuxedo jacket I plan to wear to Angela’s wedding on Sunday. Drat.

I pried the piece of wood with the house numbers off the front of the house. I ripped off the old house numbers and painted the piece of wood with three coats of flat black exterior paint, which matches the shutters well enough. I put new brushed nickel (matches the door hardware) house numbers on it. I remounted it to the front of the house with epoxy putty. I feel like I already told you this, but I didn’t, at least not online, that I can see anywhere.

I forgot to pay Angie on Monday and she cleaned the house anyway.

I ordered new checks. From Wal-Mart, online, which it turns out is dirt cheap.
