We got a phone call about 7:20 this morning: "Hi, this is Steven with American Furniture Warehouse. This is a courtesy call to let you know we'll be there in about 10 minutes." Obviously, they are running ahead of schedule - the delivery window was 8:30 to 8:50.
Just enough time to get dressed and get the gate unlocked. The e-mail yesterday said they'd be delivering the tall table and 2 chairs, and an outdoor couch/chairs/table set that we were previously told was back ordered. When they got here, we found out it was just the tall table and chairs... so, we'll be seeing them again.
We're getting used to this pulling up in front of the house...
These delivery people move quick. Judging by the placement of our stuff right at the back of the truck, we were the first stop of the day for them. They put the furniture where Joan showed them, and they were off...
It's the same table and chair set that Steph and Dan had delivered yesterday, but they went with 4 chairs.
More unpacking on the agenda for today.
--------
Joan and Steph made a run to PetCo and Home Depot. Rufus is still eating good; after the vet visits last week, we had to try other flavors to find something he really likes. Rabbit is the current favored flavor, and we'll get him whatever he wants.
When they got back, Joan asked if I was up for more mounting of stuff in the music room... the only stringed instrument not hanging is a ukulele that I have mostly forgotten about. She didn't forget about it - she ordered a shelf/hanger for it (some assembly required)...
It's the little thing at the far right. While Joan moved on to other projects, I spent some more time in the music room, getting a few more things set up. It is slow going - I'm working on the best positioning for sound and convenience. A couple more hours in there, and it will be up and functioning.
Joan brought more boxes from the garage into the living room; I thought they made an adequate coffee table, Rufus was thinking more of a cat platform...
He and I got in a couple short walks today. A couple coughing episodes. Day by day. Such a good boy.
--------
Another call from the furniture store (AFW) this afternoon: the patio set that was back ordered is now "officially" in. Yes, the e-mail from them yesterday said it would be delivered with today's stuff. We are on their schedule for Saturday. I would say that is it, for what we're getting (outta room and money), but I know better than to say it out loud.
--------
We didn't quite make it through the boxes that had migrated into the living room - back to the garage with them. Rufus hopped into one empty container...
As the sun went down behind the mountains, Joan finally took a moment to re-hydrate and sit in one of the new patio chairs...
Yes, Rufus and I were out for one last walk, this time around the yard - we can do it all without having to leave the pavers.
