In all the prepartion for our move, I’ve been purchasing some furniture items ahead of time so that our movers can be the ones to haul them into our new house. Unfortuntely, we of course have to carry some of these items into our current house on our own. My husband might be out of comission for helping me in the first few days of home renos unless he gets something for back pain treatment soon. Earlier this week we purchased a bar table and stools that will be perfect for our kitchen, at great price. I didn’t realize he was bringing them into the house on his own (I was inside with the kids) and in lifting the awkward box he really hurt himself (ack!)
I tease him that at the rate he’s going, among the other purchases we make an orthopedic pillow is going to be on the list. Actually, it would be karma for him – years ago he bought me a pillow for Christmas. There we were, my family all opening gifts and everyone looked when I opened the very large but light box (I suspected an engagement ring box was inside, below a bunch of peanut filler or something). Nope, my husband in his concern for my headaches, purchased me a neck pain pillow for Christmas (there was no ring box hidden below it, I looked!) He’s lucky that engagement ring came a week later. 😉
Anyway, today when I was discussing carpet-install (are you jealous of my phone conversations these days? LOL) I asked for a quote on removing carpet as well – since I think my husband isn’t going to be much help in this regard and I sure as heck won’t be doing it!
