So finally I got the envelope from UPS!
It was indeed my new birth certificate! Woo!
That's a load off my mind!
In other news, I got my new bookshelf delivered today. Again I was required to use several tools such as a hammer to ram in the wooden pegs (which I didn't have, but my bottle of vodka worked just as well!) and a phillip's head screwdriver (I think. I can't be arsed to look up).
3 hours later, I was still putting up the damn shelves. They have these little grooves at the back where you're supposed to slide in these panels, but damned if I could get them in properly. They fold easily and the corners get bent if you try and force them. I was, again, sweating and swearing. It didn't help that I had a little kitty trying to chew on the pegs, bat around the screws and be underfoot every two minutes.
In the end I gave up on the back panels and just concentrated on getting the shelves up and together. It seems to hold together without the back panels and it fits so close to the wall I don't have to worry about things falling out the back. I was so tired when I finished that I just left all the boxes and whatnot all over my floor. I'll clean it up tomorrow.
Mochi was exhausted as well.
