I know it's been only a few days since the big road trip update, but there were some developments. While Alex and I were away, IKEA dropped off a replacement bed for Missy. The same one that they dropped off some weeks ago but only 3 of 4 boxes... this time, there were 4 count 'em 4 boxes! Which meant that on Saturday we had to go down to Muncie to drop it all off and get it assembled. I wish I had brought an electric screwdriver: there were a LOT of screws to put in during assembly, and my hand is sore. But we got it done and her room all put back together. We took the girls all out to lunch, carted away all the massive amounts of cardboard they still had cluttering up their apartment, and headed home by around dinnertime. 

Sunday was the church end-of-summer bash. Beth is still dealing with the ear thing (manifesting today as a migraine), and Alex was working, so I went stag. It was nice enough, there was a huge buffet style dinner (carry-in plus catering) so there was tons of food, and mostly fellowship with a short song service and message. I didn't stay long afterwards.
