Mood:
lazyFriday evening after work I loaded up the car with stuff and drove over to the new house. My new bed and Merlin!|s new cage were scheduled to be delivered that day so I was anxious to get them inside and put them together. When I got to the house the only thing sitting on the porch was the bird cage. I unloaded the car and started to put together the cage. The instructions were HORRIBLE!!!! I was lucky that I managed to figure it out. I have one little thing to fix but that isn!|t a big deal. When I started cleaning up, UPS arrived with half of the bed. Only the rails. I told the guy there should be another package. He checked his truck and said there wasn!|t anything else. So I have the rails but no headboard or footboard. I called Overstock and talked to Armond. After about an hour all he basically told me to do was to wait a few more days and see if they arrived. I told him the box was marked 1 of 1 not 1 of 2. He just said to call back in a couple of days. *sigh* I just love customer service.
Saturday morning I got up and went in to work at the pub. As I was setting up the tables and chairs in walked this guy who I thought looked just like Lennie. He started walking towards me with this HUGE smile on his face and I realized IT WAS LENNIE!!!! He wasn!|t suppose to be back till Sunday so what was he doing here? Not that I was complaining. He gave me a huge hug and kiss which seemed to anger bartender Chris because he seemed mad at me all day. But then again he always seems mad at me. *shrug* Lennie told me how they had driven back Friday night and when he got to Norfolk he couldn!|t stand it anymore and rented a car to drive all night back to Raleigh. After work I met him over at the new house to give him a tour. He then handed me my housewarming gift. A tool belt, a home improvement book, and a Lowe!|s gift card. Apparently I am supposed to wear the tool belt and nothing else. *giggle* I am so glad to have him home.
Sunday morning I got up and took Lennie home before heading down to the pub to work. We were busy but not as bad as everyone thought it would be. Lennie came into eat at one point but I was too busy to talk much to him. He left at some point without saying good bye. We had planned on getting together after I finished work so that we could install an outlet at the new house. When I got home I decided I wanted to take a break from the house so that I could spend time with Lennie. When I called him I told him that we could wait to do the electrical work till later this week. He informed me that he still had a lot to do at his house and that if he got done he would call me and we could do dinner. From the tone in his voice I just knew that I wouldn!|t see him at all. I was a little upset and disappointed but then I realized that he had been away for two weeks and needed to get settled in and get his stuff back in order. It is tough for me some times because I can be very selfish and self centered so it is easy for me to get hurt when someone tells me that they don!|t want to spend time with me. But I think the fact that I was upset and not relieved that he cancelled shows me just how much a care about him.
Tonight I am taking over yet another load of crap to the house. I have also ordered new blinds that I will need to pick up as well as a lock set from Lowes. It is amazing how every time I go into the house I see things I want to improve. I just need the money to do them. One thing I really need it s cordless drill/screwdriver. I have dropped a few hints to a couple of people so I am hoping I will get one for a housewarming present. ƒ?
Well I guess I should end it here. I am loaded up on NC BBQ and fried chicken so all I want to do right now is take a nap. Only 2.5 hours to go.
