I'm back, and I survived

[mousme]

The little hamster on the wheel in the back of my head is SCREAMING at the amount of money I spent today, even though it was in the budget and I planned for it and I know it's okay.

SCREAMING.

Oy.

You'd think I'd be over these little neuroses by now. :P



Anyway, I ended up not getting anything other than the sofa-bed, because the little hamster was screaming too loudly. (Sorry, ankhorite: my hamster appears to be more neurotic than average)

So I'll probably head back to IKEA next week, or maybe even someday this week, to get the bookcases and TV stand. Is anyone out there interested in coming with me? That way I can enlist help in schlepping the stuff (it's too heavy for me on my own), thus saving me a whackload of money for delivery services, and offer a car ride to IKEA in exchange.

Anyone interested? Bear in mind I'd be going on a weekday, although an evening trip could probably be arranged, even this week.

If no one steps up, we maybe can arrange something for thursday in the day, then I could help.

I am taking Wednesday and Thursday off (as holidays) and other than an oil change on Wednesday, I should be free during the day.

I am also off on the Monday next week.

NUTS!!! Double darn and CRAP.

I'd've loved, loved, loved a trip to Ikea (without my wallet). Work and an ill-timed (for trips during the day) dentist appointment prohibits this.

I am still offering help in other ways, though, especially grocery shopping for fun salad-type stuff.
