I am a huge fan of Ikea furniture and I have always longed for an Ikea store that within reasonable driving distance of Boston. The good news is that my wish is finally answered with a new Ikea store slated to be opened in Stoughton, a 20 minute drive from Boston. The bad news: it won't be opened till the end of November. Having a need for furniture for my new new apartment, I drove 2 hours to the Ikea store in New Haven last Saturday. I got a lot of stuff that I had wanted to get and even picked up gifts for 2 weddings that I will be attending next month. Notwithstanding the long hours of driving, it was a productive day for me. Unfortunately, I pulled a muscle while lifting a package at the Ikea parking lot. The back still hurts today despite spending the past 2 days nursing it. I have to remind myself that my back isn't as strong as it was 5 years ago. Alas, the consequence of growing old.
