This was supposed to be a typical Tuesday with me going to work, but over the weekend Home Depot called and said they were a bit upset that I hadn't picked up the closet doors for the nursery yet. I was a bit upset about that too, but who can find the time until their hand is forced. They gave me until Tuesday before they would call and explain to me again that Home Depot was not a permanent storage facility.
Part of the issue with picking up the doors, was that I don't have a truck, so I was going to have to rent theirs, and if I was going to rent theirs, I was going to take the old sliding doors over to Habitat for Humanities' ReStore while I had a truck. But the ReStore was not open for donation drop off when I was in town or on the Sunday when I wanted to do this. Tuesday morning was my best chance to deal with this, and since it's all for Grace, I took the time off work to get these things done.
Chrystal came over to help me unload the truck and move the really heavy closet doors down to the nursery. She also helped me load up the truck with the much lighter old sliding doors. The plan was to go back to work after dropping the truck at Home Depot, but before leaving with the sliding doors, I took one look at Betsey and could see that she was dreading my return to work.
Betsey had a lab to finish and Grace was being very demanding. I let work know I wasn't going to be coming in, and Betsey took a power nap and then got down to work. I kept Grace out of Betsey's hair most of the day, but not completely. For one thing, Betsey didn't want Grace out of her hair really.
She was crafting her lab papers well into the morning. I'm so proud of all the effort she's been putting into this final stretch towards her masters, especially with Grace here. She's an amazing wife, mom, and student.
