Feb. 11th, 2008 12:42 pmIt's bright today, and bitterly cold, but the house is warm. All except this bedroom, which for reasons we can't begin to understand was not included on the original Radiator Master Plan when the house was built 100 or so years ago. It's nearly as big as the other two bedrooms combined, both of which have radiators. Even the bathroom has a radiator (for which we are grateful). But in this, the "master bedroom" we make do with a twin-sized electric blanket on a king-sized bed, and when it's really cold I'll wear a hat.
We do have a portable heater, a nice oil-filled electric radiator with a thermostat and everything, but we don't use it. Our room, far from being a haven from the cares of the world, is more like a walk-in attic with a bed on one wall. Everything that has no proper place ends up here. Anything we take away from the kids as punishment comes in here. All of the laundry is always here. Things that are meant to go to Goodwill come here first, where they're promptly buried by all the other stuff (or knocked over and mixed up with the aforementioned laundry).
Saddest of all, it's probably going to be the last room in the house to ever be cleaned up and organized, much less decorated.
I should probably do something about that. I wonder, though -- if I finished it first, would it inspire and re-energize me to tackle the rest of the house, or would I simply close the door and pretend nothing existed except my lovely bedroom? A worthy question. I suppose that would depend on how well that little heater works...
