I am stuck!

I managed to pack away some of my books into the library, but for the moment, I am stuck. I have things that I am not sure where to put them.

My tv console arrived and I have set up an ad hoc television connection so that I can continue to watch tv and if necessary, do a DVD recording. But my memory has failed me with my components connection to the amplifier. So I had to call someone by the name of ET, to come and do up the connections for me, and set up my home theatre. He can only come on Wednesday. Moreover I have a lot of CD to store, and I now realise that I need those two CD towers I saw last week at the Woody Teak Collection. So the need to order them. Until they are here, the CD's will remain in their boxes.

Coming Monday, the workmen will come to do the finishing touches to the walls and other areas. Soon as they get that done, I can then put things into the display cabinet and move things that will not get in their way. I can also get rid of the cardboard covering the floor.

Tuesday, my sofa will be delivered. With the leather sofa and chairs in place, my living room will shape up and I will have to move the furniture.

Anyway, I have set a dateline by 2nd October, to have the movers collect back the empty boxes and refund whatever the balance to me. The stack of empty boxes is quite an eye sore. Hopefully I can finish my unpacking by then, with perhaps a few boxes to be kept in the store.

Consulted my doctor this morning and surprised that I have lost a couple of kilos in weight. My doctor told me that it is due to the stress lately. Happy that the few curry puffs and chicken pies that I ate did not add to my weight including those winged cakes that my daughter craved for. Everyday I walk past that bakery and all the goodies glared back at me. Yesterday I walked past with Emma, who had picked up the habit of stopping by to buy something for breakfast. A habit she recently picked up from her mummy and fat aunty.

This Thursday, I am attending a seminar for the new Adobe CS4 Photoshop online. Instead of going there as was done in the past, this is now conducted online. At 10:45 I login and at 12:00, it will be over. It will be interesting. Hope I can get a discount to buy the new software.

My readers will be surprised to see so many postings this month. Since I am stuck with my unpacking, I decided to bang out my frustrations in my blog.

Till then....

Looks like everything is falling into places smoothly and you deserve a whack on your back for a job well done! My neighbour moved out last week and now the place is under renovation. How nice I could have you as that new neighbour and enjoy your home theatre system, new sofa, home cooked dinner, etc... Lily

Strange but I was thinking about that place just the other day. Lucky for you otherwise I shall be bothering you all the time. Hope I can be ready for visitors soon.
