Expect nothing and ...

you wont be disappointed!

One thing that has bothered me but not terribly surprised me is his reaction to my cleaning

the room formerly known as "office".

Last weekend, before I really got into cleaning that space, he complained to me that he needed to work in "the office". That he needed that space and to get a desk in there and phone etc. I told him "fine" and that I was going to be cleaning it this week.

I spent at least 12 hours in there. (It was REALLY bad.) I had to drag up a folding table from the basement and also moved a chair up there. I set up his charger cord. He never said thanks. Didnt even acknowledge it. Kept right on working in the kitchen where everyone had to tiptoe around him.

I had put a lot of stuff from the library into the MILs addition. (She's gone until January.) I planned to sort it out and put it back in its rightful place. So when I got the library clean enough, I started cleaning out that stuff. This morning I sorted it out and moved it back in this afternoon. I think he was partially upset because he thought I was moving him back into that room so I could have my room. That was my plan. This may be why he is not acknowledging it and why he was so angry. He said to me "I suppose I have to move back into here now. I dont want to. It sounds silly but its bad luck."

Maybe I'll move one of the twin beds into the library and have him sleep there instead.
