The Doctor's Lair

Shopping spree! That is what I will call it. Reached friday evening and the post dinner session was spent at Meijer buying lots of stuff. Then next morning it was time to get the apartment. So we went to the place and saw a nice board "out showing apartments, will be back shortly." So bro called them and they said 30 mins. Then we went to see the place around. Found a board saying garage sale, so we dropped in. Well, an old electrician was retiring and had all his wi?(a)res on sale. Found nothing nice and we decided to come back. The place was open but there was a long line. Saturday would be a busy day for these people, since all the office people would come in to give in their problem on saturday. That said, we waited and finally were seated on a table and were waiting again. I did a walkthrough the model apartments that they had behind. Pretty nice they were, as models always are!

Got the paper work and done and that started the long day ahead. First hauled all the stuff upstairs. Suitcases, Meijer's stuff etal. Next stop. Walmart! Big shop here. From a bathroom shower curtain to soap and salt. Next stop american mattress. Manager-> named Tony. Looked like a short italian with amazing selling power. Forever dropped prices to sell stuff. Somehow managed to get out of there and went to lunch. Forgot the name of the place, but anyway, had a big meal making me sleepy. Next stop,target which yielded just a papertbasket. Now the things that were left were primarirly a table and a chair. Looking for those, we went to Kmart. No luck, there was a nice small table for $50. Went home, unloaded everything. Boy, was it a lot. This guy called Ajay helped my bro to find apartment and all and he came over to help get the stuff up. Settled the place, and then went to this place called Wiches furniture. Damn expensive place, but they did have a lot of nice furniture. It was already 9 by this time. We went back and reached taiji place when it was near 10. I wasn't hungry but bro way. So he had some little to eat and I left him at his hotel. And I slept.

Come sunday and the hunt for the desk and chair led us to a famed new place in woodfield called IKEA. Really a growing brand here, IKEA opened a huge place in woodfield. We heard it was inexpensive and good stuff, but alas, it was not. The full morning yielding two bar stools and an assortment of hangers. Finally we found an office depot. The search of the place was helped by us reading their sale paper that morning and finding a nice deal in there. Finally got a nice desk on sale along with a chair with a mail in rebate. That done, it was home and assembled everything for him. That is where I left him, at 6:30 eastern time and was home at 11:30, 5 hours it took me to get home.

A nice shopping trip. I am slowly evolving into a house settling expert. Moving into a new place. No problemo.
