I finally got a call that my table is finished! I paid the balance of $1125 this morning. It won't be delivered until Wednesday afternoon, because the delivery guy is slammed with work. That means I can't get on the road for my Thanksgiving trip until Thursday morning, but that will be the best time to travel, traffic-wise, anyway.
It's unfortunate that this is happening right before Christmas, but I think I have enough in savings that it will be okay.
I'm going to start ordering gifts on December 1, to roll the expense onto my December budget. I am trusting (fingers crossed) that the orders will be fulfilled before Christmas. Everyone on my list has pretty full and varied Amazon wish lists, so I think it will be okay. If orders can't be fulfilled, they will get cash. Given my budget, my gifts are not a tremendously exciting part of their Christmas, anyway!
