Well, we got completely moved in on Saturday, but we’re still unpacking boxes, and probably will be for some time.

The near daily trips to Home Depot have yet to end. Actually, this evening we mixed it up and went to Lowe’s in Batesville.

We didn’t put the child locks on the cabinets and drawers right away because we knew our painter would be starting on them soon. Luke’s been making up for lost time by dragging everything out of the cabinets. Today things got worse because the painter actually started refinishing the cabinets and the cabinet doors are at his shop.

Cassie and the boys have been spending a lot of time in the new backyard this week. Right now all they have are a couple of riding toys, their play wheelbarrow, and their imagination. That works for the most part, but we do plan on getting them a playset soon. Swings, a slide, and that sort of thing.

The cable installer was supposed to come last Friday afternoon to get us setup for Internet. About 4pm they called to confirm my appointment for the following afternoon. Hmmm…someone got the date wrong, and I don’t think it was me. Then, instead of showing up in the afternoon (1-5pm), he showed up around 11am, just as we were trying to unload a trailer load of stuff. He left after telling me everything was working. I usually hover and chat with the technicians, but I was busy unloading.

A couple of hours later I got a break and came to check on the Internet. It wasn’t working. It was Tuesday before I could get them back out here. On Tuesday the tech (a different one) discovered I needed a new cable run from the box at the street. That’s right, they’re going to have to dig up my yard. Did I mention I was switching to DSL in October when it becomes available?
