My Daughter Has Her Own Bedroom

qosThanks to several hours of hard work on the part of my daughter, my parents and myself, my daughter now has her own bedroom.
All my things were moved out of The Yellow Room, including my treadmill and several large rows of books (approximately half of which are going to the used bookstore).
Her bunkbed was broken down into movable parts, moved into Her Room, and re-assembled.
Her desk was cleared, moved into Her Room, and put back together.
There is a lot left to do with all my odds and ends which had collected in The Yellow Room and don't have A Place now -- but much of it is clutter I haven't even thought about for a year or more, so will probably be going out to the trash, recycling, or charity.
Her bookcase in my room still has to be cleared and we have to find the right balance between her clothing and books on the shelves in Her Room.
But overall, the Change has been accomplished, and my daughter is very happy with the results. So am I.
It's been a very, very long time since I have truly had A Room of My Own. I had my own office in the first house my Ex-husband and I owned, but since moving here six years ago, every space has been shared with my daughter. The Yellow Room never worked out as retreat/office space. I'm hoping that My Bedroom will be a retreat again.
I'm tired and hungry and there are still dishes to do and my daughter's bed to make.
Time to order pizza.
Final note: Are there any Oz fans on my Friends list? I have the complete Baum Oz books, plus a handfull by other authors. Some of the Baum editions aren't in great shape, but the others are. They could go to the used bookstore, but I hate to just drop them. Is there anyone who wants them?
