I never claimed to be a genius…

My wife went out shopping on Sunday….so I decided to be a good husband and clean our room up a bit.  Now…by a bit….umm…I decided I should completely change the layout of the bedroom.  Now…I have a bad back due to a stupidity injury I got about 9 years ago….so…I decided to move all the furniture on my own anyways.

What furniture does that entail?  Simple…a bed, a wood dresser, a wood entertainment center that has drawers, oh…and a HUGE (about 7 and a half feet tall) armoir.

So yea…after about 3 hours of moving this stuff around in my bedroom (which really isn’t very big) I finally got it all set in to place just before she got home.  She walked into the bedroom surprised and happy that I did all of that…….but….

There’s always a but…..

But she really doesn’t like the new layout since she’ll be too close to the window……

@#%@#^@#$@^@#$^$@^$%$!@#%^$@

Now…mind you…every muscle in my body is aching, my back hurts just sitting still.  I can barely move my arms, and my legs feel like knives are cutting through them…..

Dinner with my daughter’s new “boy” friend was in about an hour.  I showered and got dressed….had dinner…and then….

Off to bowling?

Now…that’s entertainment…it hurt to press the button on my tv remote to turn off the tv….now I have to hurl a 16 pound bowling ball down a lane for 30 frames?

Somehow I pulled it off and my team (The Ball Busters) won all 7 points for the first time in weeks (we usually take 5 of the 7).  We are now solidly in 2nd place.

So….I get to bed…in pain….and…what do I do on Monday?

Relax?  No….Work on Serendipity Deals? No….

I completely re-arrange the bedroom….AGAIN.  I’m already in pain….what’s a little more right?

My biggest problem was going to be lining up two mini dressers that we want to use as night stands on each side of the bed and getting them up against the wall.

This time I was smart (again not a genius)….I measured the night stands and the bed.  Okay…night stands are a “little” less than 2 1/2 feet long…bed approx. 5 feet wide.  Hmm…so…about an inch or two less than 10 feet.  Let’s measure the wall….

…..

…..

10 feet

Yea….a bit of a squeeze because of the molding around the bottom of the wall.  However….I got them all in there!  My wife just can’t put any marbles or anything that will roll onto her night stand….lol

So…now I sit here today….every muscle in my body aching….every joint cracking…and even typing this out hurts….

But….it won’t stop me from working on the store today….oh no…no pain…no gain….

Somebody…catch me….I’m about to fall out of my chai…..
