table fail

susandennisThe table came and the dudes who brought it were not underemployed... I am a true fan of second hand smoke but they both smelled like very stale cigarette smoke and they were clearly not the brightest bulbs in my new light fixtures.
But, they got it together and it is a fabulous table. The minute they left, I headed out for the pool. I worked hard at the pool and then it was on to the store to return a radio. I grabbed a Wendy's burger and fries (no need to do that again) and then home.
The dryer was finished but clothes not folded.
Tweedledee and Dumber salted the entire condo with styrafoam.
My two new plug/usb extenders arrived.
There was dust everywhere.
So I folded all the clean clothes and vacuumed up the junk and replaced the outlets in the bedroom. Now I have NO power strips or extension cords in use in the house. None. And I can charge both phones and my Kindle Fire in the bedroom off the wall outlets. Nice.
Then I washed the new table. There was one spot I could not get until finally I realized it gouges in the undercoating. Yikes. I called the store and the nice woman who answered the phone asked me to take photos and send them to her which I did.
She called back in about an hour to say that they were going to replace the table but they didn't have any so it will be June. Actually, I'm ok with that. It's not bad enough to even notice unless you are cleaning the table. I just won't let anyone clean it til June.
Then I spent an hour trying to figure out my latest doctor bill/insurance/health reimbursement... I'm pretty sure I've now paid $500 too much - but I'll get it back one way or the other. The hour I spent made me feel more ready to communicate with the table delivery boys.
I think all this dust and junk flying around the house has fucked with my lungs. It's not as easy to breathe today as most days. It's not horrible but I do notice the difference. I think it's all under control for today and the next dust storm, if there is one, won't be until next Tuesday and there might not be one then, either. I've been breathing so nicely, I'd like to keep that up.
