Yes, I had yesterday off. To celebrate this rare event, I went to the mecca of pseudo Scandinavian furniture and forced globalization, IKEA. I bought large items that came in oddly heavy flat boxes. I had swedish meatballs. I got stuck in traffic. Things we pondered while waiting to get these items: if you hire someone to put these things together, do they have the right to sit on your living room floor and swear like you do while putting them together? Why are we here again? Did we just spend way too much money on flatpacked furniture? How the hell do we get home? I can no longer enter my family room due to the boxes now. But that's okay. The fact that those same heavy boxes need come upstairs now? Not okay.
