It's pretty remarkable when hurricanes move in - I've seen that leading edge, a rounded "shelf" of clouds move over an area several times living here in Texas.

Tonight I stuck with moving things around in the house. I rearranged my living room, putting the television on the raised hearth (it looks good) and moving the leather and rocker chairs in front of it. I've never had my sofa against the wall, but I moved it over to take a look and it makes for plenty of room for a coffee table and lots of clearance over to the dining room table on the other side of the room.

I also rearranged my bedroom. It's one of those Chinese puzzle affairs - you must move things in such a way to leave space for other things so you can finally move objects to where you want them. I took out a small table and vacuumed lots of dust in the process. It looks better, and Kat, this is what I was talking about a while back when we discussed sleeping comfortably. Just like you wanted to have a dog in the house to be more comfortable, I find that if I can sleep on my right side (as I prefer) and can see the bedroom door, I rest easier. It just took finally deciding to do it. The house always feels more interesting after moving stuff so I should do it more often.

Stay dry, everyone!
