Ok, later in the morning I was able to borrow a snow shovel and a coulpe of guys helped me get my car into a parking space. I dug myself some clearance in order to be able to leave without incident. Made it home ok and promptly discovered I had locked myself out. I had taken two mailbox keys and left behind two keys, both of which open my parking garage, main building door and apartment door. Caught the landlord on an errand run in progress and was into my apartment in under half and hour. Ran the Ikea kitchen planner to make sure everything was correct and took my laptop with me to Ikea to make sure I had all the data. Made it to Ikea with an hour and fortyfive minutes to spare, walked in the door to the restroom and promptly heard the anouncement that Ikea was closing early in 15 minutes.

That's right folks, I drove all the way out to Ikea in order to pee.

 Went back home and assembled my bikes, got rid of most of the remaining boxes and drank $0.99 worth of German beer. For those of you keeping count, it was three beers.

Thursday morning was better. The German Telecom guy showed up on time and I now have a phone line in the apartment. Roads were cleared to a reasonable level today and I was able to stop by a hotspot to save my kithcen layout to Ikea on the web. They will have it online so all I have to do is be there during business hours. I hope.
