Grinding to a Halt

The fridge and microwave were delivered this morning. This will stay in the front hall until I swap it out with the old one.

The delivery guys removed most of the packaging (styrofoam and cardboard) before wheeling it into the house. I haven't peeled off the plastic, organized the shelves, nor even plugged it in yet. 

Then I got a call from the cabinet person only to learn the cabinets will NOT be installed on Monday as originally scheduled. They haven't even been built yet. Apparently he was supposed to confirm with me the dimensions of the appliances I selected and that was never done so the manufacture of the cabinets was not started. 

So I have about half my cabinets emptied into my dining room and will need to put most things back in the intervening month or so until the actual installation will take place.

The bright side? 

• I don't have to clear the rest of the stuff out yet
• I have lots of time to dispose of the excess kitchen stuff
• I don't have to spend my weekend doing all this
• I can resume my normal slothful or creative activities

On a completely different tangent, I spent a bit of time online trying to find where I can buy sugar-free or light tonic water. Today would be a great day to crack open the gin I purchased on my way home from Iceland.

I must remember to get some limes while I'm at it.
