No idleness today.

.
.
Beside getting the shelving down and stowed, the weights out, and the electric piano upstairs with a little help, I got going on a few other things.  I first searched for adjustable rod holders.  Amazon wanted $8 for a pair.  No way.  I looked for other options.  I found nothing.  I kept the one set on my mind, but needed to get a printer anyway, so decided to look while in.  They had no such thing.  However, I did find more inexpensive rods, with shorter rod holders, that would work easily for the sheers.  I also bought a few more of the bigger ones.  Those will really do well for the main curtains.  Those things are heavy, which is why they work.  Currently they are on cheap(er) plastic than what I found... for less money.  I'll do some mixing and matching of rods, rod grabbers, and what holds what.  Yeah.  Probably still wouldn't make a woman, or matron anyway, happy.  No problem, I may have 99 problems, and change, but... that's not one of them.

I could do that tonight.  But, you know what?  Nope.  I did get the new printer, set it up, programmed it in, got it running, and printed off the return labels for this and that.  That should make up for what I blew on these other things, and the curtains coming in.  Actually, easily.  Amazon is getting wicked expensive.  I have to check everything from hereon in.  They are becoming absolutely ridiculous, price-wise.  Anyway, the printer worked, labels are ready, I just need to find boxes.

I also got the trash out and out to the curb.  I kept the printer box until I was sure it worked.  I will take that out next.  Along with tiddly bits, extra, etc.  Quite good, really.  I am pleased with it.  I don't think I'll be doing heavy work tomorrow.  Besides, the wood is wet.  Not the best to work as such.  Though I might collect what is in the field and at least get it over the fence, perhaps even sorting it for final prep... depending on rain.  Mostly, tomorrow, I believe I will be working on the window treatments.  I am sort of excited to get at it and finally have it done.  If I do end up heading out next or the following year, I will just leave them.  This is a starter home, so it might work well... if they can sell it... ever honestly these days.  Then again, you know how some women are.  They might well hate the things, take them out, burn them, buy what "looks good", and end up regretting it.  Not one of my problems.

Music, tea, maybe a bite.  Oh, the last box out to the trash.  Then, sometime, on to bed.  I saw a song I played long ago.  Not sure what it's all about but I liked it then and now.  Enjoy or not.  Good night.
