Kit Kat Needs an Assist

Kit Kat has taken possession of her new apartment. She will have movers officially bring all her stuff there next week. However she has been slowly emptying her storage unit and setting up her apartment. Little Kat spent the night at her apartment, helping Kit Kat shop and assemble small furniture.

Today Kit Kat was expecting a delivery of a couch cover. Since her couch is being delivered to the apartment, the cover will come there too. But Kit Kat had plans to see a movie with her friends and brother. So Momoko went over to her apartment this morning to wait for the delivery guy.

I got a call from Momoko. She was trying to install contact paper in the bottom of Kit Kat's shelves and cabinets. But the top cabinets were too high. Momoko was also hungry. So she had me get pizza for her and an Italian sub for me. I also brought along folding tables, plus a step stool to reach high cabinets.

I ate lunch with Momoko. Then we took out a lot of trash, which included a lot of empty cardboard boxes. We brought them to the dumpsters near Kit Kat's apartment. They were overly full. Luckily I stuffed a ton of boxes folded into another to save space. I left Momoko to continue lining the shelves. I have my own weekend chores to do.

Kit Kat Takes Possession of Apartment

Kit Kat took the day off from work today. She was scheduled to get her apartment today. She left in the morning to get a certified check from our bank. She had all the other things she needed, like proof of renter's insurance and utilities turned on.

Then we got the text from Kit Kat. She got her apartment. It was on the second floor. Immediately her and Little Kat went to Kit Kat's storage locker to pick up some stuff to bring to the apartment. Momoko and I had scheduled an afternoon visit to the apartment after work.

Kit Kat has a fireplace in the living room. There are also two pocket doors that lead into her study. So she is not sure where she can put her couch and TV. Her couch will come from IKEA. They have 6 at the local store. But delivery is not available right now.

Kit Kat has full size washer and dryer in the closet of her bathroom. He kitchen is more spacious than the model we saw. She has a full size fridge and dishwasher. There is a balcony with its own outdoor closet. The bedroom and den are carpeted. Everything else has a gray laminate flooring.

You need a key to unlock the front door to Kit Kat's building. Then she has to use another key to open the deadlock and handle to her apartment door. The hall in front of her front door is spacious. There are strangely 2 doors leading into her bathroom. One of from the hall and the other from her bedroom.

Tough Day to be on the Road

I had a bunch of meetings at work. So I got up early and left to get some breakfast. On the way to McDonald's, I saw that the opposing road was blocked due to emergency vehicles. I did not want to be jammed up in that mess. So I did a quick U-turn to go to another McDonald's.

I went on the highway. McDonald's is only one exit North of me. The Southbound traffic on the highway was a parking lot. Maybe it was due to rush hour and/or an accident. I made a not and decided not to return home via highway.

Picking up breakfast was easy. I got a Big Breakfast without the hotcakes. As usual, I substituted English muffins for their biscuit. On the way home, I decided to take a back way. It was all backed up due to traffic too.

 I immediately got off that road and went the normally slow back way. There was construction that closed one lane. But hardly anybody was there. So I got home, ate my breakfast quickly, and ran up to my first dial in meeting.

Dominos Does Not Deliver

I had a $3 coupon from Dominos for picking up my order last time. I stacked this with a buy two for $6.99 each. I was annoyed that bone-in wings cost extra. But I settled for boneless buffalo wings. Ranch sauce cost extra. I added Parmesan bread bites. Had to accept the 32 count big box. The 16 count was not available.

The food tracker said my order would be ready in 10 to 15 minutes. I drove to the store. Arrived around 11am. The front door was locked. Strange. They open at 10am. There were people inside busily running around. I called the store on my cell. They ignored the call. I waved at them. Eventually a buy let me in.

I told the guy I placed an order online. He said the store was closed, and that there were not any cooks available. The only reason he let me in was he thought I was the Coca Cola delivery guy. They told me a manager might be back around 30 minutes from then to help me cancel my order. I called back 45 minutes later. Nobody answered the phone. I guess they would have to figure it out themselves.
