Furniture

I took a vacation day on Friday because I felt like I was desperately behind on getting ready for the game on Saturday (among other things). I spent that time getting the rest of the furniture I had acquired from Freecycle and stacking it on my front porch and in my garage. All told, I probably spent about 8 hours disassembling, carting, loading, driving and unloading various heavy wooden office furniture with occasional help. Thank god I have a hand truck. Sure, it's all free, but it was still costly in terms of spending a full day moving stuff in 100-degree weather before a game weekend.

In the process, I got a nice cut on my sternum (where the corner of the falling desk drawer hit me), several down my shin (where I scraped it against a metal desk leg), and one little one on my forehead (where I leaned too close to the keyboard drawer). There was only one piece I was unable to take - a desk that basically fell apart when I tried to take it apart. Now I have to figure out where I am going to use this furniture. It's nice stuff, but I doubt I'm going to need it all. This will take some time.
