MOVING DAY!!!

What: Moving Day
When: Saturday, July 7th
Time: 9am
Where: Start at the Doma
Why: I'm moving

If you are planning on coming out to help me move, even if you have already told me so verbally, please send me an email at baronessekat at hotmail dot com

I will need to know the following:
Who is coming (you and anyone else? animals? I do have a fenced in back yard)
When you plan on arriving
Can we use your vehicle for moving stuff?
Are you able to lift heavy stuff or can only lift light things/put things away?

If you are crashing at the Doma you will need the following:

bedding If you have an air mattress, bring it, just in case
Armor - fighters bring your gear, I don't see the moving part taking more than a couple hours so the afternoon will be yours to have a fight practice in the back yard. Front yard might be available too. (I will not say no to people who want to help unpack though or act in the capacity of "put that box there" organizers)
Dish to pass - going to do burgers and dogs on the grill for food. There are several grocery stores within a 5-10 minute drive of the Doma if you want to wait until you arrive to get something.
Beverage(s) of choice- if you want beer, please bring beer. If you want a specific kind of soda, please bring it. I will have a flat or two of water and a flat or two of generic sodas.

If you are crashing, keep in mind I have three cats. I do have one room guarnenteed animal free, potentially another.

Thank you in advance!

Further adventures with the Carpet Saga

I go out to my car on my lunch to sit and read. Get the "you've go voice mail" beep on my cell phone.

Check the voice mail. It's John, the install guy for the carpet that is supposed to be installed tomorrow.

Notice the supposed to part?

Apparently, when the "shipping inspectors" unrolled the carpet in georgia for one last Quality Control inspection, they found something wrong with it. It has been reordered and by the computer it is listed as still being in Georgia.

What this means is... the carpet is not going in tomorrow. John's not entirely sure when it will be here. I said "I need it in by the 6th of July. I'm moving into the house on the 7th."

He totally understood my frustration.

He said as soon as it arrives, which he believes will be in by the end of the week, and he will call me right away to make arrangements. He will also bump someone else if he has to to get my carpet in.

So now I have to just wait, pray that it arrives before the 6th and make arrangements for someone to be at the house to let the install guys in.

I just can't win. Maybe I should just rent a power sander and sand the subflooring and seal that and live without carpeting.

*sigh*
