Patience is a Virtue

Truly. Patience is a virtue, and it's clearly one I don't have. I decided to move the bookshelf above down a flight of stairs by myself today. It did not go well.

But if I could just slide it down the runner, I thought. The cat took one look at the situation and ran for cover. It was a lot heavier than I remembered, but then again I used to just roll it wherever I wanted it. 

Ah yes, the wheels. They don't really lend themselves to sliding. Two of the casters snapped off somewhere around the fourth or fifth step. The bummer of this entire situation is, well, see the previous sentence, and the bookshelf doesn't look good in its new location. It needs to go back upstairs.

Hey Alicia. I was just thinking about you and wondering how your new house is treating you. I look forward to seeing more of it. I saw your name the other day while reading Indianapolis Monthly and thought that was so cool. I had no idea you write for them. Hope you are well. Jen

i would have done the SAME THING for sure. no patience. ... and of course it never does work.

sorry for your troubles. hope it works out in the end.

It seems like your house is throwing everything at you, hehe. Those casters could ruin your beautiful floor. It would be best to roll your furniture on newspaper sheets. That would save your floor from ugly scratches.
