Leap Day
Today felt like an extra day. The obvious reason is that it's Leap Day and it only comes around once every four years. But there were other reasons...We've been expecting our delivery of rooftop furniture from Costco Mexico for about two weeks. The online information always said it would be delivered on February 28th, but it also said that the furniture had arrived at a warehouse only an hour away two weeks ago.
So, we kept thinking: any day now!
...and it willfully and spitefully kept not arriving.
But the ‘maybe it will come early!’ possibility cane and went, then yesterday the date mentioned online came and went, and we began to wonder how long it was going to take.
We're long past wondering if something will arrive: It always does. But it comes at its own special pace.
Anyway, since it didn't come yesterday we put it into the 'could be a long time' category and decided to stop hoping for it every day. Then early in the day today we got a phone call that the FedEx truck was 10 minutes away. Squeeee!!!
Yay!!! It's HERE!
The FedEx van arrived and the van was so small we could hardly believe it could contain an outdoor couch and two outdoor chairs...but before they could get that out they first had to pull out a refrigerator to get at our stuff. The van was like one of those tents in Harry Potter: bigger on the inside than the outside.
