Sigh (Freecycle annoyance version)
Alas, when I blew off ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
etaine_pommier's sewing night for a Freecycle pickup, I was not aware that the Freecycler's "Tuesday" actually meant "Wednesday", however I have now been informed that "Wednesday" now means "whenever she can find someone to help with the furniture wrangling". I got the feeling that she was hoping I'd offer to do all the furniture wrangling on her end as well as mine (including removing her current bed to make room for the one she's taking off my hands) but I've been practicing having boundaries lately and somehow failed to volunteer to do so. I told her that if she hadn't taken receipt of my bed by the end of the weekend, I'd have to re-list it. The bed is currently taking up space in the living room, where I'd staged it to be ready to load into the Element, so at least it won't be in the way for carpet-ripping, spackling, and painting. It will, however, be in the way for temporarily moving other stuff out of the bedroom, so I guess I'll have to tote things upstairs to the dining room instead.
Dear universe, when you call dibs on a Freecycle item, be prepared to take it immediately or you'll break the system.
