So... chapeau!

I'm going to start building a Murphy bed today. The wife and I are moving downstairs in to what is currently my office so that the kids can each have their own room upstairs. We were talking about this last night when I mused to the wife, "man, this is going to be rough on the little girl - she's going to hate sleeping in a room by herself."
"Oh, well the boy said that she can still sleep in there with him."
"wut."
"Yeah, he needs more space to himself, but he doesn't mind her sleeping in there."
"So we're going to leave her bed in there?"
"Yeah."
"But she's 'moving' to the other room?"
"Yeah."
"And all of her blankets and pillows - I suppose those need to stay, too?"
"Well, obviously."
"And her 87 stuffed animals and dolls to protect her from bad dreams?"
"Yeah, she'll want to keep those in there, too, I guess."
"Okay.... and her books for bedtime stories?"
"Oh, well, yeah, I suppose those stay, too."
"Got it. But she's 'moving' to the other room?"
"Yeah."
So yeah, as near as I can tell, this'll net the boy the additional space currently occupied by the girl's dresser aaaannnnd... yeah, that about all I'm coming up with. And all I have to do is give up the primary space where I can unwind until such time as we should move.

At this point, the hope is that we're going to move to a new development, maybe next fall? If that's the case, I'll probably build out the case but not do much by way of embellishment unless I get bored (or if the wife passive-aggressively hints at it). After we move, I can put it in a guest room and then trim it out to match built-ins and whatnot.

Had a pretty rough crash this morning. Car pulled out enfront of me but it just happened to be intersection I needed to make a left turn so I had already started slowing. Not sure if I hit the brake again or what. Saw the car and the next thing I know I was on the ground and I was no longer attached to the bike.
Looks like my elbow and left hood took most of fall. Knocked my left hood a little crooked and my elbow and hand are starting to hurt. Destroyed my toe covers not that they were really working anyways. Somehow my chain got knocked into my wheel. I was worried the hanger was bent but shifting seems to be ok.
Only other thing that i have noticed so far is my front brake is rubbing and sporadically. I took the wheel off and checked to make sure everything was tight and put it back on. I thought it was good and then randomly it started rubbing. This was on my bike stand and without me touching anything but spinning the wheel.
Just picked up new shoes and booties.
