Tosh finally showed up this morning, four days and 45 minutes later than promised. The garage is cleared of trash (for now), the three excess cases of hardwood have gone back to Home Depot, and the sum of Cdn$405 has been returned to me.

The small rugs went to the cleaners yesterday in the pouring rain, and I made arrangements for the big rugs to be picked up for cleaning on Thursday.

I am now ensconced in the crowded waiting area at the VW dealer, waiting for my car to go through its semi-annual service routine, wheel change and all. Between the car and the carpets, this will be another expensive week of no-fun spending.
