walkitoutC. was available as an in person sub for A. for her dance / fitness class but that didn’t get scheduled until fairly late and we missed it. Oh well! She did go to her other class and I brought her down and back because R. was Busy. I had both the chicken lettuce wraps AND the poke salad at the Yard House with a Kish and Tell. It was way too much food, but I did not eat anything for dinner other than half of a Rubicon blackout 4” cake. Which was plenty!
The rest of the day was spent going to the Old Circle Furniture Warehouse Sale. I had no idea what I was going to be walking into, but I’ve been planning the furniture purchases for the new house for months now and we’ve been customers of Circle for over a decade so we had a lot of familiarity with the things that might be present in the warehouse.
And we did _great_. I got 3 recliners (2 with integrated foot rest, 1 with an ottoman), a sleeper sofa (for the music room — not the gaines that I wanted but the perry which is fine, and obviously a different fabric but it is lovely and will work perfectly), a nice live edge with metal oval legs console / wall table also for the music room, and a half dozen of the Corinna chairs that R. likes. We ALSO got 3 hiteak palm dining side chairs and a hiteak dining director chair. And a ton of Houe — a big outdoor bamboo and granite table, a smaller but still substantial Pico table, 10 stackable dining chairs (lamella), 2 lounge rockers (ditto). Everything but the sleeper sofa is already in our house (the teak is on the covered porch, and one of the recliners is in the garage awaiting transfer — I’m going to reuphoster my wing chair again).
I was really uncertain about the Houe for the big deck, partly because I felt quite cold sitting on the plastic lamellas, and partly because they are powdercoated steel and if the powdercoat comes of it is going to rust. But then I thought, hey, this would work fine in the pool room. So that’s all different than planned and not a problem at all. I’ve made some further adjustments (still need storage, but now going with Chili for the color instead of the Ash Blue, and I think cubby cabinets instead of the lower console). I’m not going to bother buying the fancy Gloster dining table and chairs for the big deck. We’re going to mix and match what we already have and maybe add a few pieces from hiteak, and get a manorhouse expandable — until I change my mind again, which feels inevitable at this point.
I redid the slides and spreadsheet to reflect the changes and started collecting images. It was a really fun way to spend the day.
Oh, and I think A. has some of my sorbitol sensitivity issues, so I’m going to start giving her gas-x whenever she has peaches / pears / apricots and similar. She was up late last night feeling like something was horribly wrong but nothing was localized. I’ve given her ibuprofen and a gas-x for this type of thing in the past since I had no idea what it was and that always worked, but I bet I could JUST give her the gas-x and it would be fine. Probably pre-emptively would be better. I mean, not when she eats the fruit, but a couple hours later.
