I'd kill for that space at the moment. Typical conversation at home:
mrs bd139: "stop burning and drilling holes in the dining table. they're everywhere"
bd139: "you threw all my cardboard in the recycling bin"
mrs bd139: "well we're going to have to go to Ikea now and get that one I wanted"
bd139: "it's ok I've filled all the holes with superglue and sanded it"
mrs bd139: "hrumph!"
Actually, I'm the one who's usually kvetching at the wife & kids to take better care of the kitchen table; it's a 3rd generation family "heirloom" (HER family, BTW) with shellac finish. I'm constantly having to wipe it down with alcohol to fix the white spots they make with hot plates and burritos... and it's MY workbench THEY keep covering with every damned thing they don't know what to do with. I can only imagine this phenomenon will increase tenfold now it's all behind my computer desk in the corner of the living room instead of behind a closed door.

That sounds like an excellent time to bring up a haircut!
And to make absolutely SURE you wind up sleeping on the couch, don't forget to mention handbags, shoes, and the ol' mani-pedi every Wednesday... gotta go for the whole Trifecta!!!
