tonight after a long and hard day of pirating, I took it upon myself to go to the grocery store so that I could pick up a few things before heading home and spending a night in and relaxing....
stopping home first to drop off my heavy bag and extra jacket, I walked towards the store taking a short cut which cuts up the small street behind the main road and lets me enter through the back door of the supermarket.
lo and behold, on that short cut I walked passed the front yard of the house from whence came my shabby little desk/vanity just under a week ago, and sitting on the sidewalk were two little drawers lost, cold, and alone - just waiting to be reunited with their proper home.
oh what miracle of miracles!
I've decided that either the drawers had been hidden under other objects that were left out last week, or the person who abandoned the desk took it upon themselves to put the drawers out in the event that the same desk snatcher came looking for the rest of the pieces.
The reunion was a bit tricky, as the drawers were a bit wet from the rain but everyone is now and place, and working happily.
Oh what changes once piece of furniture can make! Now I not only have a place to put my computer and books and sit and type, but I also am blessed with not one but TWO drawers both of which are perfectly suitable to securely house such things as pens, pencils, spare change, post cards, letters, and the many other items which might, in do course, find a home in my room. Finally I don't have to use the pockets of my suitcase as a storage facility... I can just tuck my suitcase away under the stairs and out of my room...
Such a great day. It's the little things that make all the difference on a day like today!
Cheers,
- Chris

Awesome - nothing like a little bit of furnature to make it feel like home, eh? I feel similarly about a great bookcase I got - on sale! No longer do I have to stack my books.
