So, funny story. I ordered a lampshade for the guest bedroom before we went out of town, but then it didn’t arrive before we left. Matt and I sort of talked about having a neighbor check things, and also they usually do without having to be asked, so I didn’t think about it till a few days after we got back. I asked Matt and he hadn’t seen it and hadn’t heard from any neighbors, so then I thought either it wasn’t delivered or it was stolen and I got a refund. Also, during the cabinet saga we had lots of random boxes in our garage with all the random parts of our cabinets.
So anyways, I had seen a small, flat box in the garage but it looked old and also like it was part of the cabinet ransoms. So today I was putting something away and decided to see what it was. Imagine my surprise to find that it was unopened. Imagine my double surprise to find my lampshade! It was rolled up into a scroll, so very different size than I was expecting. And also, I don’t know how it made its way into the garage. Whoops.
The most exciting thing happened today! The painters came and primed the cabinets for paint on Thursday! I received the work quote from him August 24, 2024 (!) so I was very happy he honored that amount. And also, he was 1/3 the price of the only other estimate I got, so we got a great deal which is why we were able to hire out for this project. I’m *SO* excited to get this done and organize my cabinets! I thought they already were fairly organized until they took the doors off. 😆
I was torn between adventure and relaxing today. We talked about an escape room but one was too expensive and the other one would only book parties of 4 or more. Since we were missing one member of our crew, that didn’t work. Instead, Delaney and Adi went to Target and got goodies for a movie day. We ❤️ movie days.
Another exciting thing about today is Frankie came home! I picked her up from the high school at 8pm and it was fun to hear about their competition and 3 trophies (Varsity only won 1!) and bad food and her sunburn. It sounds like it was a good experience for her and I'm glad she went and glad she's home.
And the last exciting thing is that I got everything done from my to do list by like, 3:00. 📣
We're all heading to bed early tonight in preparation for the dreaded first day of school. Let's do this, I guess. 😒
