Furniture Store Selfie

New Furniture Day

Two Before pictures of the living room (after moving the old chair and the old ottoman out yesterday):

Two not-quite-finished-yet pictures from after the new stuff was delivered:

Two After pictures, specifically After we agreed that the coffee table was a mistake and needed to go away:

I love you, Mr Couch, but it’s safe to say that your days are now numbered. Live it up while you can, bro.

No Photowalk or Covid-19

Did I get up in time to go out and take some bad photos of random spots in the Merrimack Valley? Yes. Did I do it? No. I went back to bed. Who didn’t see that coming! Tomorrow, for sure… assuming the weather holds.

Today we are scheduled to get a couple of pieces of furniture for the living room. Small upgrades to the décor. They initially told us they were going to be here during my morning meetings and I was not looking forward to having to step out. A few minutes ago they updated their expected arrival time and it’s right after my meeting so thanks, folks.

When I did eventually get out of bed I had a little bit of a sniffle. Huh. Unusual. Given that we were going to have people in the house I took a Covid-19 test. Negative. Oh yeah, my Covid-Free streak remains intact!

I’m thinking of some ocean pics tomorrow. Maybe Salisbury Beach. Also maybe spend 10-15 minutes shooting the boardwalk and some of the surrounding neighborhood. We’ll see. I might also hit a spot or two in Lowell on the way home. Again, we’ll see. I need a new tripod (I’ve mentioned that, right?) but fortunately the one I have broke while in the correct position to take sunrise pics and it remains in that position to this day. Cute, eh?

As Traffic once said (on John Barleycorn, I think), “who knows what tomorrow may bring?” I really don’t care at this point so long as the furniture delivery goes off without a hitch today… and they come after my scheduled meeting.

Right on.

Rainy Morning Drive

Things I saw this morning while driving to the polls and the post office.

Things From This Afternoon

There was a pretty monumental occurrence this afternoon. For the first time since the surgery…

I ate peanuts.

One ounce of peanuts has seven grams of protein. Sweet!

I kept the bite sizes super small and chewed them until my head was about to fall off, and then I waited a full minute after finishing one bite before taking the next. In other words, I was uber careful.

And it all went fine. I can officially eat peanuts again. What a happy day!

Let’s celebrate with a picture of the cat!

Also, here are some flowers that I picked up at the grocery store because I am ALL CLASS, BABIE!

The flowers in the photo were back lit. Did I use exposure compensation again? Oh, you bet your sweet ass I did!

Happy Return to Peanuts Day!

Labor Day Weekend

We had the obligatory Labor Day cookout today. It was just the two of us so there wasn’t a lot of food on the grill. Still, we did our part.

Also, trees.

Daniel Webster Highway in Nashua, NH, as seen from The Great Glass Elevator (aka Bernie and Phyl’s). We went furniture browsing. Not shopping, just browsing. I couldn’t resist.
