Bedroom update!

Or, It's Not What You Think¹

Listen up, you yahoos!  I know what probably many of you might be thinking after reading such a titillating and tantalizing title: he's been recently widowed, he's posting this after a Saturday night (spent prowling meeting places, no doubt), and now he's talking about the bedroom, so it must be about that.  Puh-lease!  Give me more credit than that.  If I had found another companioness to companionate² with, I would have informed my family immediat... well, at least one week before our wedding⁴, if past performance is any indicator of future results⁶.
Anyway, after my wife died, I tossed the too-small cupboard (that's the closet... closest approximation that I can think of.  Although it wasn't made to hold cups, it was about the same size and had a shelf which we somehow lost) and only-slightly-bigger "media center" and moved the TV and the computer/computer desk about a month ago, during which time I somehow lost the cord that connects the TV to the cable box.  A few days later, while calling the cable company to find out why the TV wasn't picking up any channels, I managed to disconnect the cable box and lose misplace it as well (Trend?  What trend?).  Then, just yesterday, I built fabricated constructed formed a bookshelf, the details of which can be found in various footnotes. The next step I plan to undertake involves moving books that I had stacked on the bookshelf in the living room to the bookshelf I... had a hand in the formation of in the bedroom.  Plus, while I have more or less separated items of hers that I have no interest in keeping, I still have to get them boxed up and see if my grandson wouldn't mind helping me take them to a donation center.
¹ Spoiler Alert: Unless you think it's me adding a bookcase made of 6 1" x 8" x 6' ⁷ common boards⁸ on top of 12 8" x 8" x 6" ⁷ concrete blocks⁹, in which case, it's exactly what you think, although you probably would only know that if you read the article first.
² Okay, so that's an adjective and not a verb, but it should be both.  I suppose I could have used "companionize" instead, but now I'm on a mission³.  And I only found "companioness" (the word, not an actually female person) after looking up "compaionate".
³ To get "companionate" recognized as a verb, that's what mission.
⁴ Although there were extenuating circumstances, such as even though we had already bought the rings, we hadn't decided on a date until then⁵.
⁵ Red hearings?  No, those were a long time ago with Senator Joeseph McCartney... oh, red herrings.  You mean like kippers?
⁶ Which isn't always the case or so I've read.
⁷ Approximate, as are most measurements pertaining to building materials.
⁸ However, the color of the wood is much closer this and even then the knotholes are somewhat bigger..
⁹ That's two blocks on the floor topped by a board, then another two blocks topped by another board, and so on, not all six boards piled on top of all twelve blocks.
