Office progress
Not much today, but I forgot to mention my exercise in measuring the back bedroom, sketching it out on graph paper (to scale) and plotting out the placement of future shelves. I got shelf measurements from the IKEA catalog.
I went through IKEA on foot, and would have bought some shelves, but they were too heavy to lift. A self-serve furniture store is more of an advantage for strong people. I went to the IKEA website and tried to order the shelves online, but got stuck when registering - an error message came up telling me that my city and zip code didn't match. Well; I know my city and my zip code, and both were correct, and several attempts did nothing to improve the situation. I wrote an email to IKEA's customer service people to tell them about the problem, but have heard nothing back as yet. I may have to contact my sister-in-law, Mary to ask her to remind me which family members are currently working at IKEA. (The sister who was does no longer.)
Today: laundry and reading. I took Terry Pratchett and The Monstrous Regiment with me to lunch at The Buffet King which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

It was very good, but the salmon was dry compared to what they serve at the Super Grand Buffet in the Hi-Lake strip-mall, and I like the wontons better at the latter place. The Tilapia was definitely better at the former, and they had more seafood and sushi alternatives.
