Before – After

Off work. It took me a while to get started on today’s project: the books. I forgot to count the boxes, but they were lots and lots and they were in a big pile. There are a picture of the mess in yesterday’s entry. Anyway. I decided to go for it. I got halfway. Then I fell asleep in that very comfy bed of mine. I guess I needed it. I haven’t slept ok for a couple of days. I have a lot on my mind, the rats build their castle out of newspapers they rip apart all night and I constantly wake up to check my phone… Don’t ask…

Before I fell asleep (for two hours!) it looked like this:

Now, when I’m done and I’ve had dinner, it looks like this:

I couldn’t find all the things for the shelves, so there are three shelves missing, but this looks much better than a bunch of boxes, if you ask me. I also put the door between the living room and the rats’ room back in, because I really hate being awake to the sound of them ripping paper. It drives me insane! Last night I had to get up and pile a lot of heavy boxes in front of the doorway, just to silence the sound for a bit. I was desperate and I told the rats to shut up. They just understand love, so they continued ripping as if nothing had happened at all. Gah!
