Glennalicious: The re-swanking of the Swanktuary

The re-swanking of the Swanktuary

I have been looking for the last few months for a new place, but my plans really have more of a departure date near June. Other places were not to be found in our budget, plus it didn't make sense to move to a new place when I plan on moving out of Brooklyn in about 6 months.

We've made some changes. Michael and his boyfriend Scott have just moved out. This gives us TONS of more space, a more relaxed atmosphere, and a guest room. With the decision to keep the loft, many major repairs are percolating. We took a trip to Ikea and other places for some fresh material. I'm properly repairing the floor in Charlie's area, sealing the rest of the floor, rewiring some other spots, and installing some more fuses.

The projects have taken on a frantic note, as my sister and her family are visiting for Thanksgiving. I would like to have them staying in a place that is welcoming and relaxing. To create this environment, I have put Derrick and Charlie through hell these last few days, but I promise them nicer digs and lots of alcohol.

Home has been really stressful for many months, and I really hope that the steps I'm taking will assure an environment I actually want to be in.

I'd better make sure the porn is hidden. Nothing more embarassing than your nieces finding those videos. Also, if anyone wants to see proof that my insanity is genetic, feel free to hang with my family while they're here.

Wasn't quite sure what you meant - are you moving outta NYC completely in une? Or just to another part of the NYC area?

Goos luck with the family gathering and happy turkey day, if I don't "speak" to you before.

I'm imagining you repairing the floor, doing some rewiring, installing fuses.
