Furniture shopping

Mere words cannot describe the deplorable condition into which these premises have fallen under the stewardship of my predecessor.

This morning has been spent fumigating, sanitizing, sterilizing, eradicating, pesticizing, irradiating, burying, burning, deodorizing, painting, dismantling and exorcising this building so that it may become habitable. The ever-present Karl is busily chopping and hacking away in the yard with that rusty blade of his. There have been a phalanx cleaners, exterminators, painters, carpenters, iron workers, construction workers, deliverymen, chefs and even a few members of the clergy whipping these headquarters into shape.

Perhaps even a candlestick maker or two will make an appearance! Ho ho! Yes, my dear friends, levity can be of good service in even the most trying of situations.

My own medical personnel, including several highly trained doctors and nurses and various technicians, are occupied with installing themselves and their equipment in the second-floor suite as we speak. My legal team has agreed to live off-premises. They and the doctors are like oil and water together. It can be somewhat tedious.

But now comes the enjoyable part. The Player and I are happily doing some furniture shopping on-line. I have my own delivery system in place, so it won't be long before we are living in a more fitting environment.

Pictured above are some pieces I am considering. Aren't they magnificent? But I wonder if I might have several of those hides sewn into a carpet. I might also like to have some big game heads to stud these walls ....

Oh dear heavens! A high pitched shriek is coming from one of those medical contraptions and suddenly it is becoming increasingly dark in here. I am becoming quite sleepy.

Au revoir, mes amis!
