Now We Should Be Done ...

Well, our new couch arrived yesterday - here's a bad photo of it for you:

The delivery truck arrived about 12:30 PM and of course, the things that took the longest were: 1) putting it on a little cart to bring it down our street to the house, because the truck was too big to come onto the street; and, 2) bringing it up to the third floor. But once it was in place, they popped on the backs and it was ready to go. Of course we had to fiddle with it, as far as the *exact* location in the room, but that was easily done as well.  

The cats are very suspicious. Tim wanted couch where part of it would recline, since we didn't see any reclining chairs that we both liked. (He told me he was in his "reclining era.") This particular item is called a "power sofa" because you push a button to recline it. Well, you can imagine how mystifying and also concerning that is! So far, Milo is the only one brave enough to jump up and sit with us, and even then, he can't really settle. 

Wimps. 😉

So we are done with new furniture and its delivery. I'm hoping that the person who wants two of the chairs in our bedroom can come sooner rather than later to pick them up, and then this weekend the spare chair can go up to the bedroom. Chair-palooza in the living room is giving me anxiety. Not just because it's so cramped, but I know that The Tim will want to bring up boxes of Christmas stuff soon, and get a tree. He is not in any way bothered about Chair-palooza, and doesn't understand why it makes me so anxious. 

Sometimes I wonder how we have not killed one another. 😂

I'm leaving in a bit to get and get my hair cut, and then I'll walk up to Barnes & Noble for a couple of gifts I've ordered for pickup. Then this weekend, I'll get the things that need to be mailed all wrapped up so they can be on the way early next week. 

Then (except for the chair situation), all I have to think about the rest of Christmastime is our own stuff we want to do, etc. I'm proud of myself for being more on the ball than usual.  No worries though, something will come along to show me I'm not as on it as I think ... 

I'm just glad I have no more reasons to have to stay home and wait for something to be delivered. Not that I'm out doing things all day, but I like to feel like if I want/need to just run out for something, it's not a problem for someone else. 

And that's the exciting news from here for now. I hope whatever your plans are for today and/or the weekend, you will enjoy at least a part of it. I'll check in again next week.
