At about 8, I started to get nervous. What if they didn't show? I was starting to feel like they wouldn't. I mean, 8 is not late by any stretch, but I felt like things just weren't going to go as planned, just the same.
I made phone calls. No answer. I left messages.
BD, much later, called a number in his cell phone and magically reached the moving truck driver.
He was in Philadelphia.
We do not live in Philadelphia.
So today's plan of receiving, inventorying, unpacking, and arranging quickly turned into visit the assigned elementary school (even though we knew they didn't offer preschool - annoying), call and
Regarding the furniture, back when BD and I got married 67 (or 4.5) years ago, we both had full houses of stuff. We narrowed down what to keep and what to sell/donate. It wasn't so bad. We also agreed that after the next duty station, we would start fresh in a couple of rooms and get things that we both liked.
Yay for compromise.
Except, we are not great at shopping. It's been difficult. I'm considering just signing up for a sectional construction class (someone has to offer that, right?) and making a couch my damn self.
There was a success today, though. We found a dining room set. I hope it looks ok when it gets her in a couple of days. Showroom does not equal my home, y'know?
Unfortunately, again, today, I ate crap. For like the 23rd day in a row. I tried to do better though. Instead of losing my mind at Sonic tonight, I had
Tomorrow will be better.

Hopefully, you will get your stuff today...but if not look on the bright side, you won't have to unpack and find a place for everything today. I absolutely despise unpacking. Great blog!
Regarding the house phone issue, we have a house phone and two cell phones. And the house phone is prohibitively expensive in the grand scheme of things, and we rarely use it. However, with a young child I just feel so much more comfortable to have a constant way for people to get in touch with us. What if our cells are charging? What if my cell is buried at the bottom of my purse on another floor of the house because I'm wandering around in my pocket-less pajamas? I hate to shell out so much $$, but feel more much more secure with the home phone.
