“I’m tired. I’m going back to bed.” -George Reeves, American Actor
Today was supposed to be my day of triumph. It was supposed to be the day that I had all my furniture done and my room ready for decoration…
Unfortunately, I am writing this from the mattress, on the floor, in the middle of my room, with a half-finished IKEA bed where I should be sleeping.
Apparently, IKEA does not sell it’s bed frames 100% complete… apparently there are multiple parts of the bed that is used to hold up the mattress in the frame. All I have is the empty frame that is unable to hold up the mattress and so tomorrow, I have to go get these parts and build them before my friend comes over tomorrow afternoon and makes fun of me because of the state of my bedroom.
The only bright side is that I have the bookshelf, desk, and wardrobe completely finished and so the majority of my stuff is put away at least in a suitable, but not a permanent way.
What happens next will be, finish the bed frame so I can live like a human, get my desk chair, then finally put up my posters, maps,Ike albums, and art to make my apartment into my home.
I have to buy a LED light for my main light, then put up the LED strip that I have to decorate my room with sweet light and it is going to be sweet because I have a brilliant idea to give it some nice ambiance.
When I have it all officially done, I will post an update with photos showing off my bedroom.
Tomorrow, not including the IKEA trip, I have a meeting to register with the city in my new apartment, (We have to do this within 15 days of moving in to a new German apartment), meet a friend who I haven’t been able to spend alone time with for a while for lunch, then I am going to go for a run, continue my fitness program and then start some decorations.
