Realm: Apartment - Subrealm: ...well, room, furnishing of.

Well.
I have acquired a rug.
It is the nicest* kind of rug: free. (From one of Dad's friends) It is in good shape, and not unattractive (although I suspect it clashes with the pastel green walls). It is 8' x 12'.

The maximum distance between my bookshelves and my dresser is about 7'9".

Long-term, this is going to require me to disassemble the bookshelves; get all the dust bunnies, empty moving boxes, flattened moving boxes, still FULL moving boxes, plaster dust etc. out from under my bed; dust same; replace and re-position the rug (though where in God's name it's going to be while I'm doing the other stuff I DON'T know); and rebuild the bookcases on top of some sort of prop:* hopefully some boards but probably made of back issues of Speculum and the AHR.

Short-term, I have an extremely lumpy rug.

(Also, why does this sort of thing always happen when I have two projects due the next day?)

* OK, the MOST ideal rug would be the kind you get just before winter, but...gift horses.

**(so that they don't collapse from have one side on the floor and the other on the rug)
