If you're going to provide tracking information for something, it really does help if you update it once in a while.
The last information on the rug I ordered on November 29 is that it left the Columbus, OH airport on December 7. It's supposed to be delivered today. (I have my doubts about that, considering the weather.) It'll be fairly obvious if it's waiting for me on the porch when I get home, at least; it's hard to disguise an 8' x 11' rug with a shipping weight of 82 pounds.
This morning Lily was running foot races with a mouse between the DVD shelf and the front corner of the living room wall. They went back and forth about five or six times. I would have intervened, but I know she's better equipped to catch mice than I am, and if I did catch it, I'd have to figure out what to do with a live mouse. I don't have anything to put one in so as to take it elsewhere, and I think I remember reading that it's illegal to do that in Boston anyway. I sort of wonder whether Lily would actually want to eat mice these days, since she gets fed regularly. And besides, mice don't live underwater. (Now I have a mental picture of a mouse wearing scuba gear and flippers. Snerk.)
I keep waiting for HMS to acknowledge the fact that the commute home is going to suck pond water through a flavor straw, and they keep not doing it. I wonder how long I'm going to have to wait for the 5:17 bus?
[ETA: We were sent home as of 1:00. I bailed at 1:30. The bus got me home at 3:00. Maybe I should've walked?]
