Exhausted but Satisfied

I spent most of the afternoon after we got back from Ikea, organizing the house. Not so much the AWB's play area or even HKB's study, but definitely removing junk from the area where the phone was--it had become a jungle of receipts and also moving things off the hutch and using the drawers more efficiently. I worked a solid 5 hours on all that. Neglected AWB a bit but in the end, I feel so much better. I think the whole thing was kicked off by buying that Olfa cutting mat.

I still want to move the desk upstairs so I can put my sewing machine on it and really do some crafting but I am getting resistance from HKB about his clothes. I was going to give him my chest of drawers, but we shall see. At the moment, I'm too tired to think too hard on it.

AWB
I went to AWB's dance/movement class on Friday. It is an amazingly good class for such a dinky space. But I made the mistake of starting a conference call while the class was also starting and AWB really wanted me to be there. She cried but recovered.

She is now actively singing songs from the Tigger and Pooh shows and also spontaneously singing other songs. HKB says that he sees improvements in her.

At Ikea, she fought me with the food again but mostly ate the meatballs. Would have nothing to do with the mac and cheese though. And basically wanted to be in the store counting all things. We didn't let her and she wasn't happy but not so tough. We did wake her after only a 30 min nap though. All and all she was fantastic.

HKB
I am so tired, I have to force myself to complete this post. HKB came back on Thursday morning and he was tired, sad and happy to be home. We had a tiff about JC and how he was sorry we were not close friends. I took it personally thinking it was the previous comment how I should sacrifice myself for AWB's welfare as it relates to friends you don't really want to have.
