furniture and appliance changes
I got a desk for my room. I might decide that it is too large, but for now it will do. It is a bit wobbly, which might or might not become an annoyance. Also, the floor is noticeably slanted, which makes using the rolling chair an interesting endeavor.
I also replaced my digital clock for a different, slightly brighter digital clock. The one I had was very difficult to read any time the sun was out. It is in the phone room now, where I felt there was a need for time-keeping.
More substantially, we got a second refrigerator for the house. It should prove useful, and hopefully will not be too much of an electricity sink.
