So yeah, after a whole lot of irritation yesterday morning (after getting an email from the delivery company that they needed to reschedule for today) things worked out fine. Upon receiving the email, I sent them a message stating I expected delivery on the time and date originally set up. As I walked into school yesterday, the delivery guy sent me a text saying delivery would happen as planned. When I got home yesterday around three, I was chit chatting with Jim and my phone rang. It was the delivery guy saying he'd be here in 20 minutes. The machine was delivered and ready for me to put it together by 4:00.
Here's what I'm proud of:
- I put the thing together all by myself.
- I put the thing together in about 3 hours without losing a single piece of hardware
- I didn't cuss (well maybe under my breath a little).
- Jim, at first, tried to help before he left for work and of course, messed things up.
- The directions for assembly were, at best, confusing. But I got it done even if it did take me about 10 minutes with each step to riddle out what I was being told to do.
- There was one direction that effed me up and I ended up having to rethread one of the computer cables back into a tube which took about 20 extra minutes.
- I didn't get to workout (I know I already mentioned that but it REALLY annoys me.)
I got on the thing a bit last night just to make sure it was running properly and I believe all is well. I told Jim today to just make sure it was level. I read the manual last night and it seems pretty easy so I'm excited to use it today. Needless to say I hope to get an extra long workout in but who knows since it's been over a week since I've been on one.
And that's all I've got. I need to get a move on because I have a 7:15 IEP and want to make sure I'm ready to go with copies made before hand. Happy Tuesday! Later!
