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
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:
1. The FWiB.
2. The Christmas tree is down and away.
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.
