The last couple weeks I’ve been having to do something I don’t much care for, excercise patience. 
I’ve got the following things supposedly coming in this week:
- The set of golf clubs I ordered for my birthday (yes, back in September - I finally ordered a set that fits). I’m hoping they come in while it’s still warm out so I can use them a few times before winter.
- The blinds for the rooms in the basement (due last week - hopefully will be here today so I can install them tomorrow).
- The final furniture pieces for the basement (due last week, just heard it may be delayed for another month, ugh! There are a couple of gaping holes in the basement right now).
- The dual-core PowerMacs (due last week, now Wed.?) - I’ve been waiting for them for almost 2 months now, even got sufficiently tired of waiting that I was considering going w/ a PC instead.
- The mats to fit the frame (due this week) and print I ordered from Elco (the print came out pretty well).
- I need our contractor to come back and hang the rail for the bedroom closet in the basement so I can put in the closet organizer system (late this week or early next week).
- The painter needs to get the main house color painted so I can put up new light fixtures I bought last weekend (should be done this week).
- Lowes didn’t have a ‘1′ in the style of house numbers I wanted, so I had to order those online (should come in this week).
- Local HD stations over DirecTV - do I keep waiting for them to become available “in the next few weeks” as the installer claimed, or bite the bullet and buy an antenna?
- I can’t install the new screen door locks until the painter paints the screen door frames - also I bought left handed locks instead of right handed and have to exchange them, doh!
It’s irking me that I’ve got so much stuff incomplete and unresolved right now - I like to get things done. Especially since I’m reliant on others/deliveries/etc. to get these things off my list.

Lights, Blinds and PowerMacs - oh my!
Yesterday the blinds for the basement windows came in and the painter finished spraying the base color for the house. I was able to knock a few things off my list last night:
Replace the outside light fixtures (no more brass!)
Install the blinds i…
