I thank my husband for insisting that we work on cleaning up the back bedroom today. Even though I had found a great means of procrastinating (watching the History Channel's mini-series on the American Revolution, which my husband knows little to nothing about thanks to the British not being so keen on teaching their school children about that particular series of events).
End result: we got the table in the back bedroom completely cleared off of stuff. We even rewarded ourselves by pulling out one of our new unopened jigsaw puzzles and working it on the table. Sure we've only got the border done and some of the interior sections, but hey -- we haven't had anywhere we could work a puzzle since the move.
And we have plans to spend part of tomorrow cleaning up even more.
Our hope is to have that room be available and useful during the time that guests are in town from all over the place for our wedding celebration next month.
Oh, and related to that -- he and I have finally gotten ourselves a dance lesson to get the basics down on some steps so we won't make complete fools of ourselves. :)
And yes, I'd be asleep right now -- I even tried once tonight -- but my body's not being cooperative. And the Tums I took a bit ago haven't helped at all. oh well.

I know a little bit about the American Revolution, but I did take History for GCSE (exams aged 16) and A-level (exams aged 18), and both times the course focussed on the period 1750-1850. I know a lot more about Factory Acts and Public Health, the birth of the trade union movement and the battle for universal suffrage in the first half of the nineteenth century though (all very relevant when visiting West Yorkshire - especially Saltaire).
I was actually under the impression that Silas had taken Geography instead, so you might need to be generous and let him off. Or, being two years younger than me, he might have got the revised syllabus that Gill did, which featured Hitler and Stalin endlessly repeated, and very little else.
Yes, I took Geography. I got History up to about 1834 and the Reform Acts. However, it didn't cover events in America much.
As for the miniseries, Netflix!
