calic0catStill not completely over the cough-and-cold, though I'm doing somewhat better in the sense of not feeling as totally lousy. But my freetime is going to take another big hit thanks to RL.
My bedroom is carpeted - 20+ year old carpeting. I've been talking about ripping it out and having either hardwood or wood laminate installed for a few years now and the time has finally arrived. Except that the room is about due to be painted again, so it only makes sense to paint it first. And I want to replace the light fixture with a ceiling fan to help with air circulation in the summer (we don't have central air, just window fans). So this weekend is dedicated to emptying my very full room. Then the week will be spent painting and getting flooring quotes and so on. If anyone has any experience with either the wood laminate or hardwood flooring (pros and cons), I'd love to hear about it since I haven't reached a decision which route I'm taking yet. Whatever I have installed will have to stand up to a dog running around on it (just a Sheltie, she weighs less than 25 lbs but her nails tend to be long - they bleed if I try to cut them as short as they "should" be, meaning short enough not to click so loudly and scratch so badly).
Assuming I have any free time at all this weekend, there should be a new LWH at some point plus a website update - I've got a *ton* of guest fic updates to take care of...
