Today I don't feel like doing anything....

So today was supposed to be a super active day. However, neither of us slept worth a flip last night, so this morning we slept a little later than we meant to. Then, when we did get up, Hans was doing more administrative type stuff (banking changes, address changes, etc.), which took longer than anticipated. The active stuff we were planning to do today was full day stuff, and at the point we were ready to start, the day was over half spent, so we decided to flip flop things a bit - run about half our errands, then start fresh tomorrow!


So off we toddled to Ikea. Yeah, I know that doesn't sound necessary, but it was. The nearest Ikea to Kenner, LA is Houston, TX! That's more than five hours away! And there are things we needed that are a quarter of the price if we get them at Ikea instead of going to Wal-Mart or Target, plus some things that just can't be found elsewhere that we have grown to love. So we pulled out the Ikea gift cards we had stashed and filled the cart. (Plus, we love walking through the showrooms and getting ideas, I admit it!)


After Ikea, we hit the Dollar tree for a couple more necessities (I'm addicted to this one brand of men's razors that I have only found there - 6 razors for a buck, and they work a treat! You can't beat that with a stick!). After Dollar Tree, it was off to Home Depot to do some pricing for a couple of other things that we'll pick up when we get to NOLA, but wanted to budget for beforehand (like a step stool thingy for Shorty McShorterson here to reach the upper cabinets!). Quickie shared dinner at Zaxby's, where the assistant manager was eager to hear about when I worked at the original Zaxby's in Statesboro, then to our final stop - Harbor Freight - where we loaded up on some freebies and super cheapies that we also needed ($2 for a tarp! Seriously! Necessity to cover the stuff in the back of the truck with the summer rains!).


Now it's home to relax a smidge, accomplish a few things, then crawl into bed and try to get some sleep. Hopefully we'll hear from the movers tomorrow. Hans will be spending the day sorting and organizing his office, while I will be out doing more running to the schools and doctors and such, then meeting up with a friend from work for lunch. Then, back home to clean out all my outdated cosmetics and do the little bit of housework I need/can do. Hopefully tomorrow evening can be relaxing, too....


If only we knew when the movers will be here....
