The storms began before I had even put myself into a vertical position this morning. And......then for the rest of the day they arrived about every hour or two........exploded above our hill, and after sharing their fury with all of us, they raced southeastward and out of our area. And.......then they would arrive again........
I, too, exploded from my own "storm" this morning, on the phone. Today was to be the day that FINALLY our bedroom furniture was to be delivered. We had received a phone message while we were gone this weekend from the delivery section of Bassett Furniture Direct warehouse. He indicated that we had not told him that we would be here today.........sooooooooooo, I called him at 8am this morning. Again, he stated the same thing and then said that we couldn't get our delivery until NEXT Monday because I had not "confirmed" that we would be here today.
SOOOOOOOOOOO, I unleashed my own storm with as much fury as I have had in a long, long time. Be the time I hung up on the rude, impertinent fellow......well, my BP was surging to the boiling point.......and for the first time I REALLY felt it surging out of control. When I became a bit more settled, I called the manager of the Bassett store where we purchased the furniture. I reminded her of the rather costly purchase I had made in June.....and then told her of the conversation that I had had with the delivery man. The manager said she would check on this.....and about an hour later she called back.....and said that my furniture would not be delivered until NEXT Monday........it was a "miscommunication" between the delivery guy and myself!!!! The rest of my morning was one of being pissed off at everything that went "wrong"............a stormy morning AND afternoon.
The 1st Lady and I spent about 2.5 hours this afternoon......after I cooled down.....measuring, locating the needed studs for the pole supporting brackets, and then getting the drilling done correctly. Sounds easy.....doesn't it???? BUT......it certainly took more time than either one of us had expected. After the drapery panels were hung........well, it was certainly worth the efforts!
As I said, it was a "stormy day" in more ways than just from the weather......but, nevertheless,
Life is Great.......and I hope it is for all of you, also (without the storms)
