My fingers squeak

stitchwhichThe Bossman moved desks today, with Opi's help, while ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
donnavenice and I edged hoods. Three desks were re-located; two big, heavy Navy-surplus ones and our massive teakwook rolltop desk. Man... that was dusty. And dry. So I oiled it a bit with the smidgen of oil we had in the house and then made a trip to WalMart (after I promised myself I'd eschew that store, too! But it was after midnight) and bought two more bottles of Old English Furniture Oil. I have a feeling it is going to take almost all of that to get the desk back up to par. Certainly my fingers are nicely oiled.
It is beautiful, though. I had forgotten how much I admire it. It has been a storage-unit for far too long, piled high with stacks of paper and boxes of pens. I'm going to clean out all the drawers and make it mine. Especially since Bossman moved it between the two windows in the library and I have to sit there if I want to see my willow tree wave in the breeze. But that probably means I'll also have to do without my full-sized keyboard for the laptop.
The willow wins. I can adapt to the laptop keyboard if I must choose between them.
