Today, I had to wake up early. I hate, absolutely HATE waking up to an alarm! But this was necessary because I was getting a new washer and dryer today. Between 10:30 and 2:30 so I got out of bed at 9 o’clock.
Cleveland knocked on my door at 10 o’clock! I was excited and my Mom put Leia in her cage. He came in and started working on my washer and dryer and I could hear him doing stuff.
And then things started moving so fast! A second young man came to move my washer and dryer out of the house. They just strapped both the washer and dryer to their waist and carried them out together.
As they were bringing in the new washer and dryer, I called to them as they were almost in my room, “Best Christmas present ever!” and I thanked them. They put them on the lawn and my brother took them to be repurposed:
They had it all hooked up in ‘two shakes,’ and then Sean came over and put my Christmas tree up finally:
He put the tree up by himself and fluffed it. My Mom thought that she would always do that but it seems like Sean is starting to do it himself. He knows what to do!!!
My Christmas tree is 19 years old now. Sean was four years old and we were living in our first apartment when I bought it. I went with my Mom and called the building manager (we were friends) to see how tall the ceilings were in the apartment buildings.
He told me that they were 8 feet tall and I bought a 7 1/2 foot tree. It cost me $500!!! That was SO, SO, SO expensive for me at that point, but I LOVE my tree!!! even if we don’t put ornaments on this year, I still love it!
When Sean left today, he said that we will do Phase 2 tomorrow.
