Life has certainly thrown some curve balls at Ryan and I this past week. The following is a day by day guide to our week of madness:
Monday: Ryan has a new Ford Focus. It's a beautiful fuel efficient little car that he is very excited about. What he is not excited about is the flat tire he comes out to in the morning. No Ford will not cover the tire, because even though he's had it a little over a day he's managed to get a nail in the tire wall. I don't know how this happened.
Tuesday: Car is back. It rains. We find out the windshield wipers don't work. Cue Ryan driving a rental car for the rest of the week while they order a new part. As for me, today my boss announces she's leaving. With her leaving I will be the only person left in my department. Luckily we have a new CEO coming in. Unluckily I cannot tell anyone else at work until the official announcement on Friday. Now I get to feel like I'm lying to everyone in meetings when they ask me what is going on in my department.
Wednesday: We finally get cable and internet and feel connected to the world. Our goal for the weekend will be to get a new couch, not only because our IKEA futon is insufficient, but because my mom is coming to visit at the end of the month and I told her she could sleep in our guest bedroom, on our IKEA futon. It folds out to a bed and is actually really nice.
Thursday through Friday is a blur as I get increasingly tired and go through drama at work with coworkers who can't believe my boss is leaving. I do feel good after people tell me they really hope I am not leaving too. I reassure them I have no plans of high tailing it out of there.
Saturday: We get a couch! For a really good price! And they deliver it to our apartment on Sunday. We find out we are really close to their distribution center, very convenient.
So despite a Lions and Tigers loss....it's a pretty good week. I am excited for possibilities with a new CEO at work and I am happy my co-workers think I could just run off and get another job. Haha.
And Ryan is good as well. He is connecting with a classmate who lives in Minneapolis this weekend. It's a small world after all.
Until the next blog post, hopefully with pictures. I do apologize for the lack of pictures. Keep calm, and carry on.
