Nov. 1st
Thursday Morning: My phone rings while I am at work I see that it’s the CounterTop people.
“Morning!” He says. “Could we install today?”
I look at my calendar. We had made a schedule for them to install next Tuesday.
“Umm today? What time?” I say back.
“Within the next 30 minutes.”
I don’t work in the same town that I live in, and BoyScout can’t just swing over there either.
“Yea….let’s just keep our Tuesday appointment,” I say. Well that’s new, having someone what to install something ahead of schedule.
At this point I have bigger fish to fry. I have to acquire another stove for a multitude of reasons listed (see previous post).
Afterwork we run over to Home Depot. After arguing once again over brands and styles of stoves we end up reaching a consensus. Thank you God.
BoyScout wanted a stove warehoused in Houston, a newly refurbished black stainless steal Samsung, but after the whole BestBuy drama (See previous post…again) I didn’t really want to with the potential drama of buying something sight unseen.
BoyScout didn’t like me vetoing that. We look at a Kitchenaid, which is basically the Rolls Royce of appliance brands, nixed that one too. We gotta save money somewhere you know.
So we decided on a Samsung, which would match the microwave! Woohoo finally. I somehow managed to force myself to open up a credit card at Home Depot, where I grudgingly put the entire cost on the card.
Not a proud moment for me, but hey it’s interest free. Big Kahuna gets to our house in 3 days.
Quirky meet Kahuna, Kahuna meet Quirky.
This motivates us to get the microwave up. You would think that this wouldn’t be that involved of a process, but once again the 1930s house proves to be incredibly strange and unmeasurable.
Handyman Dad makes a surprise appearance and very methodically works with BoyScout to get the thing up. It only takes 3 hours.
From there we zoom off to run a zombie obstacle course for Halloween shenanigans. I must say it was kind of a stress release.
Sometimes you gotta have a little fun….
He must’ve shit himself to death…IDK what else it could be.
It’s the little things right? Sometimes we have to step outside our bubble and realize that our personal stressors really are not that big of a deal.
Tuesday here we come. Final Push!!
