Step 95: Some Semblance of Normal.

Ever since I got to the new house, I'd been putting off unpacking "my room" and setting things up. A lot of it was because I was busy helping set things up in the main part of the house, and was too tired by the end of the day to do much in the basement beyond sigh deeply and go to bed. The rest of it was simply not wanting to do it.

For me, things like setting up a home are nigh to impossible for me to just get done. There has to be a moment when something in my consciousness click into place and I'm "ready" to get it done.

It took a couple weeks for me to finally be ready to set up the basement, and I got it done in just under three hours. (Plus the time it took for me to assemeble my bookcase and desk, but whatever, those are separate events.)

Speaking of my desk! It is fully assembled and I still love everything about it.

It's been nice to have my nice, clean space all set up, but there is one minor drawback. I decided it'd be a good idea to set up a play area for my nieces (Nephew is too old for toys, being all of 16 years old and whatnot). I failed to realize that while I'm a 10 am or later kind of kid, the girls are 8 am or earlier types. So I've not been getting to sleep in lately. Poor ickle me, ne?

It's been nice to have the kids around, all in all. They're big fans of their aunt Sarah and tend to monopolize my attention all day. T likes me to chase her through the house saying "I'm gonna getchoo!" L likes me to do girly things for her like straighten her hair and paint her nails and M likes to talk video games and wisecracks. They're cool kids.
