The second delivery attempt for the new couch will be tomorrow, 1/11, between 1 and 3pm. They're going to try to get it up the back steps. I hope this works, because otherwise, I have no couch and am back to square one. *sigh*
So, I've been clearing out the landing and the upstairs back hallway in anticipation. As of right now, there is one thing left to move, and it will have to wait until tomorrow when I slide it into the kitchen so as to be out of the way.
I took four metal dining room chairs to Savers today. I'd bought them a couple of years ago at a thrift store. I'd re-covered them, but had never gotten around to putting the backs on, because I realized that the plastic things on the legs which prevented them from gouging the floor were mostly missing and I couldn't figure out how to replace them. So now, after two years, in the spirit of letting go of crap and cleaning out my living space, they have been re-assembled and removed FROM the house. I also have another chair loaded in the car that will be "liberated" tomorrow morning. The progress may be slow, but it IS happening.
I have to pack a few things up and set things up to move tomorrow so there is a clear path to the living room (in the expectation that they WILL be able to get the couch in here).
I'm planning on leaving work early tomorrow, and I'm also gearing up to pack up some stuff in the downstairs hallway if my lovely neighbors aren't able to finish it up tonight. (and no, I'm not being sarcastic. I know they've been busy.)
On a slightly odd and macabre note, while cleaning in the back hallway, I picked up a bucket that's been sitting tucked in the back for a while and discovered a petrified bat (looks barely bigger than a kit). I have no idea when or how it got INTO the bucket or when it died. It may have gotten in sometime this summer when the window in the back hallway was open and then couldn't find its way back out. I'm not quite sure what to DO with it. The ground's too frozen to bury the poor thing...and, well, it's petrified. Very strange.
