I managed to dig deep and get a slew of things done today. As anticipated, the work going into the guest room meant needing to make room for things to 'return to' Tommy's room since he'd been using Lauren's old room as a storage facility and chaotically. So, like somebody else, we know—learned habits. Of course, as I peeled back the layers of HIS room-onion, I ended up spending a far greater time on things. I washed all his bedding and ordered replacements, too. I moved his bed from against the wall and assembled and inserted the otherwise unused drawers. Space is a premium, so that's essential. But that all took time, as did putting the bed together correctly. He'd rushed it and skipped screws, and the bed support was 50% F'd up. It's all rock solid now. I even cleaned the entire bed frame, headboard included, and then started on the shelves and his closet. I have more to do tomorrow, but once it's all done, including a probable run to IKEA to manage some final storage needs, it'll be a vast improvement. I took a break to put the house lights up while Jen did the tree. We ended the night with Christmas music playing and immensely enjoyed the space and the tree. I'm glad I put the time into Tommy's room as it ties into the guest room setup and the garage, which is #3 on my list of tasks to tackle this week.
