Bed time
I ordered a new bed on Monday and asked for it to be delievered today.
The guy said he'd ring up on Wednesday to let me know when my bed had come in, but I was out most of Wednesday and I only gave him my home number. So this morning I went over there (just round the corner.) and he said it was in and he'd deliever it in the afternoon. What I should have asked at the time was, around what time? But because I didn't I stayed in waiting all afternoon, staring out the window. My plan was to go out and run some errands after my bed arrived, but I ended up waiting until just after 5pm.
I figured I'd be waiting until then at around four since the place closes at 5. It messed up my day and because our doorbell doens't work I had to keep an eye out. Besides watching TV and messing about on the internet all I did was read and play Phoenix Wright. Which I enjoy, don't get me wrong, but it's not as fun when you're staring at the window and being impaient.
And when my bed did arrive the guy was surprised that I had no one to help me take it up stairs. He took the mattress upstairs for me, but not the bed. It didn't occur to me to have anyone because when I ordered my bookcase the guys just took it up for me. I didn't occur to me that there's only one guy at the beds place. So he left the bed in the living room and my brother and I got it up the stairs. That wasn't easy, but it's a good thing it's doesn't weigh much.
And now I'm lying on my nice, soft new bed. Ah. It's lovely.
