playing hooky

29Feb08

When the alarm went off this morning, I was already feeling like playing hooky. Getting to the car and finding out that we’re definitely going to be late for the train just made that feeling stronger. So now I’m home with Fredrik instead of sitting in class. Here’s hoping that there wasn’t anything terribly important that I cannot make up. Although there doesn’t appear to be any indication of anything important on my class schedule. I also made Fredrik promise that we would go over the material that would’ve been done in class.

I assembled the drawers for our wardrobe and there is 1 extra part and 1 missing screw. We have assembled quite a few IKEA items lately and we noticed that they all had some sort of imperfection. Most of the time it’s legs that are not levelled. There is always some sort of wobbliness. I guess that’s what you get with the price. But other furniture stores are either too expensive or had ugly furniture, so IKEA is the best choice for our life. I personally love IKEA. More wonderful thing about IKEA outweigh the not so nice things about IKEA.

Hopefully today we’ll get the other half of the wardrobe assembled and then we’ll be able to get the sliding doors (!) assembled and on and be able to start using the wardrobe. As you can see, this thing is quite massive.

We also have the matter of finding a place for our old mattress. Our storage space in the basement was one idea. We also thought about giving it to Fredrik’s mom if she has a use for another mattress. And our last option is to chuck it.

Anyways. Off to enjoy my day.
