The Christmas tree is down and away!
Sep. 5th, 2024 10:24 pmI got up around 11 today, and had breakfast and coffee. Then I did my reading and discovered to my delight that the new Ben Aaronovitch novella was out and available, so I downloaded it to my Nook.
Then I started on the tree. It took me a long time, but eventually I got everything off and packed away, without any breakage, and the tree itself put away behind the TV. The living room is empty now and feels larger, and it is a great relief to my mind.
All the time I was waiting for UPS to deliver my etagere from Walmart. It was supposed to arrive between 2:30 and 6:30. It did not.
At 7:00 I Skyped the FWiB. We had a nice time til a little before 8:30, and just when we were getting ready to say goodbye the door buzzed, and it was UPS. I hope that my etagere is OK, because the box was pretty bunged up. We shall see tomorrow, there was no time to start putting it up tonight.
So anyway, I brought it in and said goodbye to the FWiB, and then it was almost time to call Middle Brother. I called him, and all is well, there was no barbecue on Labor Day, but they had Chinese food which made him just as happy.
After that I had dinner, and texted a little with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mashfanficchick. Then I went to the bedroom and started reading the new Aaronovitch. It's called The Masquerades of Spring.
Then it was time to feed the pets, and here I am.
Gratitude List:

3. My delivery arrived, even though it was late.
4. New Aaronovitch book.
5. Middle Brother is good.
6. My electric screwdriver, to help with the assembly tomorrow.
