setting up my room

Yesterday (Friday) I was off after going through the morning ritual for coffee and beverages. The day was used to decorate my room, creating drawer space and unpacking as much as possible.
Several of the walmart certificates which I received as going-away presents were used to purchase drawers. There was a set of three already here: I bought a second set and stacked them like a chest of drawers. I also bought a couple of single drawers for under the bed storage. A red sheet was purchased to cover the metal and cork coffee-table style table, hiding the storage shelf underneath. A matching red husband-pillow (used for reading) complements the otherwise plain color scheme. The walls and slanted ceiling are off white, with a wall-paper border around the tops of the walls printed with a beige background containing butterflies of various colors. There is no closet and was no dresser when I walked in. The bed is single. There is an upholstered chair with high legs, under which I have put the drawer containing my desk things. Shoes can sit on top of the underbed storage drawers. The tidy cat bucket in which I carried my summer sandles will remain their storage place. T- shirts will have a drawer: slacks and jeans may have to 'live" in the suitcase (which is also red.) What seemed to be an impossible storage situation has worked out. Praise the Lord.
The dresser top also serves as my bookshelf. The table holds the C-pap machine, medecine dispensor, and bottles that are too tall for anywhere else. I was glad that all my pill storage fits into one of the drawers.
Another blessing: the building will allow the computer to be plugged up anywhere. Tonight, while there is a movie for the community downstairs, I can be up here in my chair blogging. This will also allow me to do the blogging more often: perhaps daily.
After the room was done, I did my laundry, which can be done here on the premises. Weekly volunteers have to go to the laundrymat: using the machines is one of the perks of long-term service.
