Furniture Shopping

I bought an Ikea dresser from a lister on Craig's List. When I got to her place, the dresser was bigger than I thought. We were not sure if the dresser could fit in my car. The couple asked if I knew anyone with a bigger car but I didn't. They helped me move it to the trunk. Half of the dresser was sticking out of the trunk.

(side note - the couple look so cute together! the guy was really nice and helpful. made me kinda miss having someone....)

As I was driving slowly home, it started to sprinkle. The sprinkle turned to rain. I was thinking, "Oh no! My dresser! It's getting wet!" When I got home, I was trying to move the dresser out of the trunk but I couldn't. It was horrible. I was getting soaked. I even skinned my ankle against the screen door. I called CS and asked if he was coming home anytime soon but he wasn't. Later on that night, Son called me and asked if I needed help moving the dresser into the house since he noticed it sticking out in my trunk. We moved it into my room.

This made me realize I am so glad that I have a roommate and a great landlord. When I was thinking of living by myself, I never consider all this hassle of moving furniture and having to do everything by myself. I would probably be even more lonelier living by myself.
