We finally got our room divider….but fedex, in it’s great handling, punch a hole in our package and damage it! And it not only 1 pane, which they would’ve replaced and we could’ve sent 1 of them back, but it is 3 panes! We’ve waited this for way too long….I’m actually pretty pissed by it. Luckily, the customer service rep we spoke to is shipping out a new one without having to wait for receiving of the damaged one. Now we have to reship it out the damaged one Tues, but the good thing is we have it until then. We are hating the fact that we have to wait again…icks.
Well, karma hit fedex, but I think it hit the wrong guy. When we were on the phone with the cs rep we keep hearing the fedex truck and honking, couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on. A neighbor from cross the street came over, we had to move the jeep, because the truck was about to roll into it! His drive shaft was in pieces on the road and we live on a steep hill. Very dangerous.
We moved the jeep and got his truck braced with what rocks we could find, but that still didn’t relive the worry of it rolling down the hill. The driver stayed on the break, called 3 different people and left messages. Harold is like forget this, we can’t wait and called the police. Luckily we only live 2 blocks way from the police station. The cop that got here and put his ram bar against the fedex truck and with the rocks was a big relief.
Unfortunately, that tied up the cop much longer then it should’ve since it took forever for the tow truck and mechanics to show up to the help the guy. Cops are there to help and that is a good thing, but he shouldn’t had to spend that much time with that when there are crimes worked on and traffic to be monitored. I feel much better when they are doing that since that is what they are trained for.
Last night and today has been productive.  I finally got the china and the rest of my knick-knacks unpacked. We also got all our pictures and prints hung up. Harold hung my curio clock that I love. We even unpacked my 2 antique cook jars and found my missing Purdue fleece!!! I’ve been looking for that for years….over 4 in fact! I thought I lost it. I am so tickled that we found it, I love that fleece, it is so warm and soft and it was given to me for xmas many years ago.
We brought a new shower rod. The one that was here was too short by an inch and rested on the shower ledge. Which sucked, since we ended up stepping on the curtain. Our old ones were able to go higher but were easier to knock down. We ended up getting one of those rods that curves out so you don’t feel like the curtain is right on top of you and it is anchored into the wall. Don’t have to worry about that falling down any time soon.
We brought more shelves for the garage, since that is the last really huge project to do and we will be done settling. =) It is feeling more and more like home.
We walked down to the farmers & artist market here in town this morning. Boy, it is a very small one. We picked up some corn, raspberries and a tomato. Also brought a Navajo vase. It doesn’t look like we’ll be getting much from there, but at least it is walking distance. We don’t like the idea of having to drive. We like living here, because we don’t always have to drive to eat out anymore and there are little shops to visit.
I want to get the garage done early tomorrow after tanning, because looking at the area around my desk…..icks. I have a bunch of work that I have got to get done…..and I really need to start that tomorrow…I really don’t have much of choice on that if I value my sanity this week. And we want to go camping for a few days during the week. I won’t be able to do that and enjoy it until I get caught up.
