That was a miserable weekend, on many fronts.\u00a0 Things started off well on Friday, with a day off from work.\u00a0 I kind of slacked off all day, not accomplishing much.\u00a0 That evening we hooked up with the Munkirs at the Blue Moose<\/a> for some dinner.\u00a0 Quite a tasty meal;\u00a0 I’m rather fond of that place.\u00a0 The atmosphere was a bit sullied by the mob of children that somebody had unleashed in the dining room, but otherwise an enjoyable dinner.<\/p>\n

Saturday morning started off as usual, which is to say I was up enjoying my coffee and reading the newspaper.\u00a0 Somewhere around 8:30 Donette was rudely startled out of bed by the Nebraska Furniture Mart truck out front.\u00a0 I have often heard people complain about the delivery service of NFM, apparently with good reason;\u00a0 They had called me on Friday to confirm that they would be there between noon and 2:00.\u00a0 Knuckleheads.\u00a0 So, Donette shot up out of bed and got dressed, while I tried to corral the dogs and get them out of the way.\u00a0 Anyway, to make a long story short, none of our new furniture fit up the stairs.\u00a0 Actually, they didn’t even really try.\u00a0 They tried the armoire, and I will certainly agree that piece wasn’t going to happen.\u00a0 The mover-dudes were then convinced that none of was going to fit, so they didn’t even try the remaining pieces.\u00a0 I was pretty bummed.\u00a0 It was nice furniture, all solid oak with solid cedar drawers.\u00a0 Not to mention, we haven’t had a freaking dresser EVER and I was looking forward to not having my socks spread across three bedrooms.\u00a0 Well, I guess we still don’t have one.\u00a0 So, they stuck it all in the garage and said somebody would be by to pick it up in twenty minutes or so, and went on their merry way.\u00a0 As soon as they left, it struck me that I really didn’t feel well at all.\u00a0 Omitting the gory details, this feeling was confirmed very shortly thereafter.\u00a0 I spent the entire rest of the day in bed watching movies and popping nyquil.\u00a0 Bummer.\u00a0 Oh yeah, my day of misery was punctuated when the NFM jokers called at 8:00 that night to let me know that they were finally on their way to pick up the furniture.\u00a0 Apparently 20 minutes had morphed into 11 hours.<\/p>\n

Sunday was about the equivalent of Saturday, except Donette ended up with the same bug I had and joined me in the sick bay.\u00a0 In short, I got cheated out of my entire weekend by an untimely illness.\u00a0 Gosh, good thing it didn’t hit during the work-week, I would have had to dip into my 11 years of built up sick time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
