[Appointments only given covid-19.] It's a huge purchase, but one that should last for the rest of our lives. It's lovely and good quality! We left our old one (that was wearing out with some damage - IKEA) for the buyers of our old house. Unfortunately, we will have to wait 9 weeks to receive our new furniture. Everything takes a while here. Even receiving orders from Amazon.de takes much longer than receiving stuff from Amazon in the US.
The handymen are nice guys, but boy am I happy they are gone! No rubbing shoulders. No moments of awkwardness because of my Czech language difficulties. Heck, I can go downstairs in my underwear now, if I want to! I also look forward to eating healthier and stuff the handymen wouldn't likely like.
I did unpack my scale, but I haven't gotten on it yet. The moment of reckoning is soon.

I'm so glad your home life is finally settling down! It will be a joy to cook your own food, in your own kitchen. Heck, go downstairs in your underwear and dance the hootchie-kootchie in the kitchen!!
