I was completely remiss in the last post! We went to Ikea first and foremost because Lydia's mostly brand new bed frame had two broken drawers after the move. It has been discontinued so we figured we would probably be SOL. We asked the woman on the floor if they might have any, she sent us to the As Is, and I asked the woman at the window there, she hopped on her computer and went into the back scrap heap in search of any possible matches. I am at this point envisioning having to make due with two empty drawer holes and wondering how I could fancy it up.
A young guy walks up with the pieces for both! AND he says to tell the cashier there is no charge!!!
Ed went on for day two at the job today. He is still excited, it's looking very promising.
When he came home for lunch we took Lydia to register at her school and had a mini tour. It's a nice, small elementary school and she will have recess three times a day! The day starts at 8:25 and ends at
3: something.
Afterward we dumped Ed off and headed for TJ Maxx, this is big folks, I had to push into unknown regions, a little shaky with the nerves. But it wasn't bad, we found it easily and then saw on the way home that it is actually very convenient to where we live! The GPS sent me two different ways and she called RT 217,
RT 10 which mixed me up, but I did a U-ey, legally mind you, and found my way.
There might be a law that you aren't supposed to go through solid yellow lights, if there is, I am expecting 2 or 3 tickets in the mail at some point.
We still have some boxes and piles laying around, but once we get to the bottom of all the useless, but can't throw away items, and reorganize, I think we will be okay for space. So far the glitches are, no medicine cabinets, small master bath with no storage and large guest with huge cabinet. The kitchen cabinet shelves are held in place with plastic pegs, which led to the demise of many dishes yesterday, hence the trip to TJ Maxx today. Really closet space/storage are the only problems. Oh, and bad phone reception.
They are reglazing(?) the pavement throughout the complex this next week, that's fun.
Ed and Lydia have been using the pool quite regularly. Ed will be going to the beach with the students the first week of school, and we are so looking forward to the Chris, Matt and Susan's visit Memorial day weekend!!!
Okay I think all is purged.
