Plans Changed

 I was hoping to go to Home Centre this morning, but David was called into work last night, by the time he gets home, most of the morning has gone. Hopefully, he won't have to work tonight, so we can go tomorrow morning. One good thing about this Home Centre is that they open early, 8:30, so we can go and maybe get what we need without losing the whole morning.

The doors to the tatami room are a disaster. 


The bottom part is because of the cats. Even before the cats started their artwork, the doors had small holes in them, some from when we taught here, years ago, some from my kids, and I think my mother-in-law put her cane through them a few times. The top part looks bad as well; it just doesn't look cared for, with a neglected feel about it. 

The doors to where the Buddhist altar was

Although this one isn't really scratched up, it still looks worn out and needs a refresh.

One friend suggested taking the doors out and having an open area. I like that idea, but in the summer we will need to run an air conditioner, so that's not really feasible. 

I would love to change the doors out completely, but that will take more money, something to plan for!

I'm still trying to tidy my room. Hannah is coming on Friday, the futon that she uses is covered with clean laundry that needs to be put away. We are going to a museum on Saturday, with Christopher. The Fukuoka Art Museum has a special exhibition of Ancient Egypt on loan from the Brooklyn Museum. Hannah has a whole itinerary planned for the day, museum, cat themed bookstore, lunch at Burger King, and then shopping! I'm exhausted just thinking about it. I'm going to have to pace myself!

At least it's slightly warmer than the past few days, which really helps!
