Yak, check. Razor, check. Shaving cream... Can someone hold my yak?

We have been trying for some time to clean the sewing room, on the assumption that, once cleaned, re-drywalled and repainted, the sewing room will be a nursery. After about half an hour in the sewing room this afternoon, however, we determined that in order to clean the sewing room, we would need to clean the study.

It is probably a good thing that we decided, before touching the sewing room, to move the sofa out of my room with an eye to eventually putting a crib where the sofa used to be. Unfortunately, that means that the space where my computer used to go in my room no longer exists. Leaving the laptop on the couch was fine, but leaving it on the empty floor is not, so my computer stuff has moved back up to the study.

The study is not the infinite waste it seemed, back when I was thinking we would put stuff from the sewing room into it. The study is not even the minimal waste I imagined when I thought about what it would look like once we got all the random junk out. The study is a postage stamp sized room with a slanty cieling. I have no idea where the stuff from the sewing room is going to go. I'm glad we're not in any rush to put the baby there.

When are you due again? I realized as I added Steuard to my "Peter" set of private entries that you're not on that group. Did you want to be? It's mostly dull stuff about his day-to-day life of the type which is only interesting to new mothers, so I dn't put people on unless they express interest.

I'm due in late March. I'd love to see the "Peter" entries, but am pretty terrible about asking to be on filters, etc., when it comes up.

. . . I could swear I remember seeing a completely empty room in your house . . .

There is one. We moved the futon up there, and it's being the guest room. (bookdivalia will have a comfy place to sleep when she visits, with a door that shuts, in case she wants to hide or keep the cats from eating her socks.)

There is a logic to having a guest room instead of a nursery, especially when the baby is small. I imagine we've got at least a year before a seperate room just for Schrodinger becomes a pressing concern, and I sort of expect that to be a guest-intensive year.

I'm terrified to ask where I'll be crashing while at your place.

Like... last year my friend Janey told me I was getting the guest room, but... think of a New Yorker's version of a guest room. I kid you not, it was actually a large hallway. They use their kitchen door (which people wider than 2.5 feet can't get through) as their entry, blocked off the main door, and hung two curtains.

Don't worry. Much of this mishagas is to avoid putting stuff in the room you're going to have.

It's 12' x 12', has it's own door off the second floor landing, a real closet, and everything. The only things in it at the moment are a futon and a torchiere.

It's about equivalent to the room ricevermicelli has (well, she's got a walk-in closet), and frankly better than mine.

Real room. Promise.

Uh. It also has some folding chairs. And a mirror. And maybe some other stuff I sort of shifted from the sewing room. But not much! Honest.
