Liveblogging Deliveries

Since I will be doing a fair amount of hurrying-up-and-waiting this afternoon, what better way to pass the time than to make a liveblog!

1:07 PM - I am in the new house with my laptop tethered to my phone. FIOS is scheduled to be installed tomorrow. For now, I’m waiting for a washer/dryer delivery.

1:14 PM - Oops. Moved laptop from kitchen to living room so I could sit on the sofa. The most convenient plug for me to use is, of course, not grounded. So I’ll have to move the power cord when the delivery dudes get here.

1:40 PM - I suppose it would be bad if I fell asleep before the delivery guys showed up. Just being able to sit here for a few minutes and not move something is pretty sweet.

1:46 PM - Phone call from delivery guys…

2:20 PM - Delivery guys are gone, having left a washer and dryer. I am not sure I fully understood the guy’s instructions for using the washer for the first time, but how hard could it be? It’s just a washer. :)

2:33 PM - So the next delivery (a mattress) is not scheduled until 4 PM.

3:03 PM - Fixed my mailbox, which I accidentally smashed with the rental truck yesterday. My mailbox is in a row with about five other mailboxes, and by some extraordinary luck, mine was the only one I hit.

3:29 PM - Okay am cooled off again and now moving bookcases into a staging area.

4:26 PM - Got a call from the mattress guy that he would be here at a quarter to 5. Yay!

4:49 PM - Mattress guys are here and installing.

5:13 PM - Bed assembled, complete with mattress protector.

5:32 PM - Unpacked some kitchen supplies. Now sitting down because my feet are killing me. Next delivery/installation is sometime tomorrow, and that should be the last one.

5:44 PM - Okay, nothing else to blog for now.

Saturday

8:39 AM - Survived a night in the new place, and now the Verizon FIOS guy is here!

9:33 AM - Something beeped.. I think that’s a good sign.

10:35 AM - And FIOS is up and running! The world is back to normal.
