Part of an email that I sent earlier….
I have my bedroom (backroom) totally decorated now. I have my bed and wardrobe setup and all my clothes put away in the wardrobe. I situated my bed under a window, my wardrobe is in the corner, and I have some plastic shelves that all my bathroom\hygiene stuff is on. Then in the other corner, I have my red plastic tub that I take a bath in…I bought the biggest one I could find so I could sit in it…but my legs still hang out…LOL!! I have a small desk\table that the school is letting me use that my computer is on that’s near the bed…I sit on the bed when I use the computer, and just pull the desk over to the bed…it works out well this way. It’s convenient, because I can lay on the bed and watch movies on the computer right next to it. I made curtains and hung them up; along with a mirror I got in Pretoria. Then on the other walls, I hung up cards and stuff that people has sent me in the mail…the decorating in here reminds me of how everyone decorated their dorm rooms!! However, I like it and I’m happy with it, and it feels more like a home…I spend most of my time in the bedroom area.
The front room is a whole nether story…I have the fridge, a table with the stove and kettle on it, then I have a metal strip with pegs with my pots and such hanging from it. I also have a small plastic shelf with dishes on it. Then, I have an old love seat that my host family let me use. Then, I have the extra full size be setting in the middle of the floor in the way…cause it takes up most of the room!! My host family should be moving it out in the next few days I hope…’cause I can’t really hang-up the other pictures I have of my family and friends until the bed is gone. I’m hoping that I can find a small bookshelf for cheap that I can add to the front room. I did get curtains up for the front room, so I have curtains on all the windows in both rooms now. I’m also going to save up so that I can get a small rug for each room, since it’s only concrete floors. I want a small one to go next to my bed, and one to go in front of the door in the front room. The circuit is still supposed to bring me a table and two chairs to go in the front room. So, it’s coming together little by little.
I was missing everyone pretty bad last night. I spent a bit of time looking at all the pics on my computer of when me, you, Kay, and Sarah when to the lake, camping, 4-wheeling, etc. Some of the pics really made me laugh….we had so much fun together!!
I’ve really been missing Daisy….
