12:52. That’s what time the delivery men showed up with my new lamp.

(And yes, I do remember that I gave up buying new lamps as my New Year’s resolution, but believe me: this one was worth breaking it for.)

Anyway, I was told to expect the delivery between eight a.m. and one p.m. today.

“Can you narrow it down at all?” I asked, when the driver called to make the delivery appointment. “Like closer to eight, or closer to one?”

No.

And, to give them their credit, they were here between eight and one . . . with eight minutes to spare. So, basically, Sam and I wasted the morning hanging around the house, attempting to entertain ourselves with trains and Carl the Dog books (him) and laundry (me).

Ah, well. At least my clothes are now clean, and my pretty new lamp is here. And I have a dentist’s appointment this afternoon, which is always something to look forward to.
