My current lifestyle

It’s still two weeks away from my heat pump replacement and, soon thereafter, the duct cleaning, but I have a lot to do. It’s also miserably hot in my house by the time I wake up. My current way of doing things is to move boxes, etc., in the hot house while dripping with sweat, until I’m too tired or too hot, then I shower, eat lunch, and spent the evening reading in J’s yard and then in his air-conditioned livingroom. I’m really not getting much work done, and I’m behind on anything involving my computer. The time I spend outside in the evening is so utterly lovely, especially with the usual evening breeze.
My current problem is how to reorganize my bedroom, which also functions as my office, given the many piles of papers and boxes of files and also the need to access the vent, which is underneath the bed. Do I move other furniture around so I can move the bed, while still managing to keep a path through to the bathroom, which also has a vent? (This room has a lot of furniture. In addition to the bed, there’s a dresser, a vanity, a side-table, a bookshelf, another set of shelves that could be a bookshelf but isn’t at present, a chair functioning as a computer stand, and… a piano.) Or do I plan to lift both mattresses off the bed and over to the side (from which I moved boxes today), so that the duct cleaners can stand in the bed frame to access the vent? I will probably experiment with the latter.
