Yesterday Aleks said to me right after waking up
And I went "okay" because that would, in fact, be a Nice Thing to Be Able to Do, use my ThinkPad again after not using it for like...two? three? months.
So he set off to assemble my L desk:
Which admittedly doesn't look like much considering it's in, you know, quite a few pieces. And features hex screws, Aleks' favourite! (Note the sarcasm.) After having to assemble the bed frame out of hex screws and using a provided wrench for nuts that only maybe half worked (and nothing else would because lol proprietary nuts), he's kind of tired of anything that requires some kind of hex key.
AND YET... We have a huge collection of hex keys now thanks to buying, you know, all of this assembly required furniture lmao and this company was kind enough to provide us with TWO!
It didn't take him that long to assemble, maybe 45 minutes total? And I can have it more or less where I want it, so yay!
( The final build... )
SO TODAY Aleks put away all of our Bath and Body Works sprays and lotions (that he could find of the latter) because we have this AWESOME built-in in the bedroom with 9578349534 drawers that are really deep??? and can fit all of our body sprays which is nice. There are shelves on this built-in as well which is where the lotions are. Front and centre are Sadie's ashes and her little peet prints. I bought some flameless candles to put around them that will always be on. I do want a proper memorial table of sorts for her so we can place pictures as well, but for now... It's a nice space.
I found a really nice memorial ornament for our sweet girl...and what stole my breath away was the default picture:
It was for a Sadie. Not the Sadie, but someone's Sadie. And though I've seen the name on plenty of dogs and a couple of cats, it's not really a common name you hear for someone's cat, at least in my experience.
It was a toss-up between that one and one that said
IN LOVING MEMORY
[PET NAME]
IF LOVE ALONE COULD HAVE KEPT YOU HERE, YOU WOULD HAVE LIVED FOREVER
I chose the one that says Sadie by default because I thought it was, in some small way, meant to be. I was meant to pick this one in particular out.
Our last pictures together. These were taken on the 7th of November... The last pictures I took of her were the day she crossed over a week later.
Until we meet again, Grey Lady... You will always be Our Meowjesty.
I want to get your desk built so you can finally use your computer again.
