Furniture Delivery...

Today was on the one hand the last day of work before the holidays, since I'll be having this year the 24th off. What makes for a nice mini-vacation, since I will be off till December 26th. It was also the day I had scheduled my furniture delivery. Could have already had it delivered on Tuesday, but with this being the last time before XMAS and all the work that has to do with end of the tax year, that was just not really an option. And on the other hand even if I had done that the furniture would have just put into the living room and I would have taken time on the weekend to assemble it.
I had planned on leaving work by noon. By the time I left I was already running about 20 minutes late. but I did manage to get to my apartment in time, since delivery was scheduled between 1 and 4 pm. Well, about 3.45 pm get a call form the delivery guys that they will be at my place in about 20 minutes. I was fine with that. They carried all the boxes up 4 flights of stairs. All in all almost 300 lbs...and I certainly didn't envy them that task. That was one of the reasons why I didn't mind paying the 100 bucks for the delivery. And yes I did give them a very nice tip.
After the delivery guys had left I went out to get my XMAS haircut done...and it was more than time. Didn't have to wait long there, about 10 minutes or so. After the haircut I went to the local pharmacy to pick up some meds that I had ordered. Got back home about 5.30 pm. Figured I might as well take Daisy for a quick walk since my grocery delivery for XMAS was scheduled between 6 an 9 pm. When I got back with Daisy I saw the delivery guy getting all the stuff out of the car. So I got back just in time. In fact the delivery guy was about 15 minutes early.
After I had put away all the groceries I realized that I had forgotten to order a couple of things, when I place my initial order. Well, that's not terrible, since I had to go to pick up the meat on Saturday anyways.
So, all in all quite a busy day actually.
