take me down into your paradise

song+ Cool for the Summer -Demi Lovato
book+ nothing presently
quest+ getting the middle bedroom ready for Rory
upper+ progress being made
downer+ my bad ankle
attire+ pajamas
drink+ water


mom's picked up Rory by now and they're on the much less direct part of the road trip. i haven't been here a week yet, but i've gotten a respectable amount done. less than i'd hoped, but in my grand planning i forgot that i needed breaks so my body doesn't give out on me. i actually pushed a little too hard yesterday and while i made some visible progress, mostly what i have to show for it is a nasty boob-bruise and a swollen ankle. fortunately, today being Sunday i'd already planned it as an off day, so rest and elevating it should help me be ready to go again tomorrow.

the front third of the room is re-floored, there's still some carpet that needs to go out, but that can happen tomorrow. the thing that's taking the most time is shuffling the food storage so i can work around it. i got some shelving assembled and SEVERAL boxes unpacked and sorted onto it, but there's still tons to get through and i'm pretty much out of shelf space. the boob-bruise came about when i was assembling said shelving. they were clearly designed to be team-built. while i did manage in the end, i caught myself in the plastic anchor pieces trying to wrestle a shelf into place. it's less swollen today, but still a vivid reddish purple patch about the size of a thumb print. the ankle pain came about going up and down the stepladder for hours as i sorted boxes and got cans on shelves. not an injury, just over use.
