raw notes )

Thursday was a hell of a lot more work than I expected. I did get about half a day's working from home in, mostly while waiting for things to arrive, but it was still a long, stressful day that seemed unproductive even though, objectively, it really was.

In the end, the bedroom and guest room got cleared out, the carpets steam-cleaned, and one of our two hospital beds installed. It fits beautifully, and looks like it will work. Damned if I know what I'm going to do with the bedframe, though. Colleen suggested putting it in Kat's room and giving the YD the double-sized futon; that makes a lot of sense. I was up in the bed (it's an Ikea loft bed) and it's shaky enough that I wouldn't want anyone to sleep in it even if they weren't prone to seasickness. The YD might be amenable, since the queen is really too big for her room, and a futon frame would give her a huge amount of space.

Apria screwed up completely; two different drivers arriving at three different times, even after a couple of phone calls on my part telling them that we wouldn't be ready before 8pm. (Steam cleaning didn't get finished until 7pm.) And only one bed at the end of it all.

I'm going to need twin-sized sheets and mattress pads. I installed some Elfa standards as a replacement for the headboard -- those look as though they'll work out well. The Container Store's 30%-off sale runs until a week from Sunday :).

Colleen's home at last!!!

Even going to Cosentino's on the way home I was strangely anxious. It wasn't until we got home and ate lunch that I started relaxing. The house has its Cat again, and everything feels right at last.

I'm still worried about care. But we'll deal with it.

Meta: the discerning reader will note the transition from the colleen-200904 tag, which I used for planning the Cat's return, to colleen-200905, which will be used for health-related issues now that she's home.

The second hospital bed arrived about half an hour ago. I get to sleep with my wife tonight!

Happy Bear.
