Weekend blahs

I know I haven't updated this week, but honestly not much interesting is going on. I did finally go out and get a portable air conditioner...which was MUCHO expensive but I was just worried I wouldn't make it through the summer without one, since I can no longer sleep on a mattress in the basement if it gets hot due to my back. This model in the pic is the one I bought.

I had to wrangle at the checkout about delivery because I need it carried upstairs (since it's for my bedroom). They're trying to tell me they only deliver inside the front door. And I'm like, what good is that to me? I may as well load it into the car in that case and skip delivery, since carrying it is what is the problem. Finally they conceded and I got them to write it on the delivery order that it's to be carried upstairs. So the delivery guy arrives and he's ALONE and he says it's too heavy to carry upstairs, so I point it out to him on the delivery slip where it clearly states UPSTAIRS and I say I'll wait for him to go get someone to help him carry it up. He asks if *I* can help him and I say "no I have a back injury!" that's why I need it delivered upstairs! He then tries to get me to sign the delivery slip and I say "I'm not signing anything until it's upstairs!" He finally tries it alone (sort of dragging it up) and well anyway, the job gets done. But man, can I anticipate problems or what? I just knew getting it upstairs was going to be a hassle and I just really had to exert some assertiveness to get the job done.

Anyway, right now it's sitting on my upstairs landing as I haven't even opened the box yet. Will have to do that soon.
