Having yesterday off was like mana from heaven. We got so many things accomplished, even with 80 degree weather. B got up around 9 and we went full steam from there. Our first stop was Target for some stuff she needed. Then we *finally* went to Chik-Fil-A. Only six weeks after they opened were we able to get in. Was it worth it? Meh, it's chicken. But it was the principle of the thing. We also went to Costco. Have you ever tried going there on a weekend? No thanks. Which is why we were happy to have a Monday free. We only needed three things and trying to do that on a Saturday or Sunday is impossible. We were in and out in 15 minutes. Beautiful.
The big part of the day actually came in the late afternoon. While we were at the vintage store on Sunday, we saw a dresser we liked. It was marked at $175. The dresser we've been using is an IKEA special which I bought back in 2010. The drawers are a little messed up and it looks six years old. This one was a nice wood one that had been refinished and painted in a nice seafoam green color. I offered them $125 and they came back with $140. Done. The fun part was loading it into the car. We managed to do it and squish B in the back with the dresser. That was a harrowing ride home. Right in the middle of commute time too.
Once we got home we struggled a bit, but managed to get it upstairs all on our own. We then spent the next three hours trying to rearrange everything to fit it. In the end, I took our old dresser and put it with me here in the office. This way we both have our own six drawer dresser. I end up getting dressed in here most morning because I don't want to turn on the lights and bug B. This way I now have everything in here with me. Plus it opened up the closet big time for both of us. We finished around 8:30 and both of us just collapsed. We watched a little TV and I went to bed around 10:30.
A really productive day off. Totally enjoyed it. Now to talk to my boss to figure out the rest of the week.
