Slightly ahead of the game

I counted my money after I got home this evening and discovered that I am two dollars ahead of the game.  Which means I haven't, as I feared, spent more than I've sold at the garage sale, but it's a close thing.  Ah well, it's all for charity.  I will say my little blue Fiat performed admirably.  With front and back seats flipped down on the passenger side we were able to slide the shelf unit easily into my car so getting it to my apartment building was easy.  Getting it from the parking garage to my apartment was a bit more of a challenge.  I borrowed a luggage cart from the office and that made getting it into the building fairly easy.  A nice young man helped me with the double doors.  But I discovered that it was too tall, standing on the cart, to fit into the elevator, so I manhandled (womanhandled?) it into the elevator, watched in dismay as the door closed and the elevator took off without me, waited 'til the same elevator came back down again, with my shelf still on it, and finally made it up to my apartment.  I am happy to report that it fits and looks good just where I had planned to put it.  Which is a good thing because I'm not hauling it down again.
