I can't wait to get the kitchen shipment from Egypt so we can return the kitchen stuff to the lending closet. I packed up the bedding, towels and some other things when ours arrived, but we are still using the plates, glasses, silverware, utencils and coffee pot. I don't want to return anything until I return everything because bureaucratic problems can happen that way and I don't want to end up paying for the stuff because they made an error in recording it. I find that you really have to work hard to make sure things don;t get screwed up and sometimes, people still find a way to do it. The lady at the lending closet seemed pretty sharp when I went there before, but I don't know if she is the only one working there. Anyway, when I get that stuff returned it will free up a lot of space in the closet.
Yesterday, I found a place for all the books, office supplies, craft supplies and technological stuff. I put the books in the shoe closet in the front entry way. We have all of our shoes stored there and there is still tons of room. I put most of the rest of it in the second Master Bedroom Closet. The second MBR has a dividing screen so one one side we will have a guest bedroom and the other side we will have the office. We will use the closet to store all of our supplies. The shower in this bathroom is Roxxy's shower because it goes directly on the floor, no stepping into anything and lots of space for her to move around. I thought we were going to have to buy bookshelves quickly, but we don't need to, we can wait until we find something we really like. We've been told that a lot of people keep the furniture from Housing the whole time they are here. I really want to get a different couch/coffee table and dining set, but I think I will use the nightstand to set the computer up on and the printer is on an end table. The tv is on an end table as well. That can stay for awhile.

The only problem we have is that our bed is coming in the Egypt shipment and so we really need to get the bed from housing out of here but we want to keep the other stuff. This could cause a problem, but we are just going to have to risk it. We still have to decide what to do about the American refrigerator. It is not plugged in, but it is the only magnetic surface in the kitchen. Still, I think we should get rid of it and hang the dry erase board. You have to use special hangers so that is a pain, but we could put the water dispenser there if the fridge was gone and gate it off so Ian couldn't dispense water and then plug it in so we could have instant hot water. Also, when his Learning Tower arrives, it will be a good spot to store that when it is not in use.
The cable guy was supposed to be here at 10am. It is now almost 2:00pm. Somethings are universal.
