Weekend Update!
No football game this weekend. It was kind of strange not having to get up at the ungodly hour of 8.00 on Sunday morning! It was a good strange.
My dryer was delivered on Saturday after a bit of a fiasco. I had an appointment window set for 13.30 to 15.30. I figured this was good as I had many chores to get done around my house before my cousin arrives next weekend. I decorated the tree, cleaned the bathrooms, ripped 4 dvds to my computer and played some Uno with friends on XBox Live. Sometime during an Uno game I glanced at the clock and it was 15.20! I figured, oh, they’ll show up right at the end of the window, like most delivery people do. A few hands later and the phone rings. I realize it’s 15.45 and it’s Sears calling me… great. Turns out the person who sets up the delivery routes for Sears home delivery in Phoenix has absolutely no idea of the geography of this metro area. The delivery people are up in Scottsdale and won’t be able to make my appointment window (no shit). I am told by the “dispatcher” on the phone that they will come by at the end of their shift, which could be as late as 20.30! I really had plans to not hang out all night at home but I really wanted my dryer, so I changed some plans and waited. The dryer arrives at 19.30 and all is good, or so I thought. Yeah, who knew that dryers didn’t come with plugs attached to them… WTF?! I had to convince the delivery person to take the plug off the current dryer for me so I could use it to install my new dryer. The debacle continues as I am reading the instructions on how to attach this plug to the new dryer… there is a part I have to buy. I quickly google the closest Ace Hardware and ask when they close and find out I have less than 10 mins to get there. I tell the girl I’m literally 3 mins away and to please not close. I get the part, come home, install the plug as though I’ve done it 500x before, and connect the exhaust to the wall opening. After all this crazy running around, I am pleased to say that the new dryer works like a charm.
Today was spent finishing my laundry (like 5 loads including towels, bedding, etc.). I also wrapped some Christmas presents for family and friends. I watched my team lose to the Patriots and chatted with my Cousin for a bit. A pretty lazy Sunday, but that’s not a bad thing.
