    AHHHHH! They are here and I am going to kill someone. I was out for the first hour and half, came home, put away my groceries, then vacuumed out my car, a job I loathe. I am now sitting out on the deck. I said hello to them, but I will not engage in conversation. DH is ready to kill me. I am not going out more, because I have nothing to do, and we are going on a ride later. Basically, they moved all of the living room furniture around in a different configuration, and took our coat tree out of the entry, moved our bench/cubby for our cycling stuff (it's from Crate and Barrell, for God's sake) in an awkward spot for me to get my stuff out and put on my shoes, and now they are taking all of our art work, ceramics, etc and moving it around or putting it away. They put a copper pot on top of the dining room table, and it looks really dumb. This feels really invasive and I did let them hear me say that people are watching too much HGTV.
    I think what is bothering me is the invasiveness of the process, as well as the fact that people must be really stupid if they can't envision their own stuff in a house.
    ETA:
    A few hours have passed. DH was really mad with me, after I looked at all of the changes they made and went nuts. Some are laughable. They put a crystal vase on top of my dresser and a top hat that DS#1 had in his closet on his dresser. They moved prints around to places that look really dumb. And I can't find my magazines that were on the coffee table in the family room, because the table is now in the living room. They took what few books we have left (we've been purging for a few years) and put them in random, awkward places, not on bookshelves. No one would live like this. Any trace of us is gone from the house, except you might get that we are cyclists. I did get DH to agree to move the bench/cubby back to where it was, as the front door could not open all of the way to where they moved it. And, who puts a dining room chair in the entry way? But, I calmed down and we went out to a kitchen/bath place and started planning the remodeling of the condo. Now drinking wine and looking forward to a long ride on the south coast of MA/RI tomorrow.
