…I’m still suffering from CMS. Except on mornings when I have to get up and go to work. Those mornings I’m a little less motivated, but I’m starting to have trouble remembering which day it really is.
IKEA day was today. I didn’t have access to anything big enough to move the larger pieces of furniture I needed, so I wound up getting a 15′ truck instead. Not my first choice…I had wanted a club van, but this was the best they had. So today I was that guy in the Ryder truck doing 60-65 on I-96 out to Canton and back. The amount of space all that lovely flat-packed furniture took up in the back of the truck was almost as laughable as my moms’ and my attempts to move two flatbeds and a cart through the warehouse, but I made it there and back without running into anything.
Tomorrow is the big furniture-assembly day. We put together my TV stand and my desk today after getting everything unloaded at the apartment, then I came back home and took apart my kitchen table and put the hardware on my coffee table drawers. The screws are all 30+ years old, so some of them are rusty to the point of being stripped, but I figure I’m never going to have to take this thing apart again. I’ll post a picture of it once I get it in the apartment; it’s a pretty cool piece.
The mattress arrives on Tuesday morning, but even without that, I could pretty much live there now. My kitchen is over there, I’ve got Internet (every bit as important as heat and electricity and running water) and a sleeping bag and a pillow. However, it will still be a few more days until I’m over there. Tomorrow I move the rest of my big toys, I’ll probably get a Chistmas tree (half off is a pretty good before-Christmas special), and I’ll go into work for a few hours to make up for playing hooky today.
Now I just need to finish my thesis project and I can clear the next major hurdle.
