. . . and so the nursery begins part one

Well I started on it, but it isn’t nowhere close to finished.

Earlier today I retreated down to the lower parts of the house because our air conditioner was broken.  It was too hot upstairs, the job search was done, the blogs were updated, too hot to work on my latest novel.  I thought, why not go downstairs and try to work on the crib and changing table.

Here’s the reason why that last part of the statement is so odd.  If you know me.  I’m no handy man.  I’m a buyer not a builder.

However, I just felt like today I wanted to work on the three boxes we’ve had sitting in the nursery for a few weeks now.

I opened the box (the crib and changing table came in two – the glider in one) and thought if the instructions were too much I would stop there.  I honestly looked at it and thought, this doesn’t look too bad.  I dove into it and what I found surprised me.  I actually enjoyed doing this and what I thought would be a stress inducing nightmare, wasn’t.  It actually took my mind off of the broken air conditioner and the other things floating around inside my brain.

I still have some work to do on it as you see, but the bulk of it is done.  The rest of it looks a little more challenging and the glider is going to have its own share of difficulties, but it will get done.

By the way – the air conditioner is now fixed and we are enjoying some sweet cool air.  Refreshing – ahhhhhhhhh!
