The time for the autumnal furniture rearrangement has arrived! Late this year, compared to last year, but weather is weird. Last weekend was HOT, and I was wearing shorts, and Tuesday night was so hot I had the fan on with all the windows open, and then Thursday night we had a freeze warning, and I spent a good twenty minutes yesterday looking for my warmer long-sleeved shirts (still haven't found them, but they've got to be here somewhere).
Anyway, last year's post was very accurate about the furniture rearrange motivations. I have five lights in this room (that sounds like a ridiculous amount of lights, I know), and in the summer I only use two of them. One of them isn't even plugged in. (Two of them, maybe? They're decorative.) But in the darker months, it's nice to have more lights.
Also, where is my stuff? Where are my warm clothes? I have NO IDEA. If I'm going to go to all the trouble of looking through my stuff, I might as well also get the fun part of moving it around some.
Perhaps MOST IMPORTANTLY it provides excellent enrichment for the cat! She usually chooses not to participate in the actual moving, but enjoys checking out the new arrangement once I've figured it out. And I have a chance to find at least SOME of the toys she's stashed under/behind things over the last six months or so.
