Posting for posting’s sake

Things are going pretty well in the “moving into the house” department. We’re, well, we’re moved in and the number of boxes is decreasing by two or three per day. I’m told that there are more boxes in the basement, but I’m not too worried…

Monday

Good day at work with NAME BRAND CORPORATION today. I had been fairly worried about it being a long and painful session because of REDACTED. It wound up being long, but not at all painful. It was simply the structured working through of a bunch…

Unpacking

Another milestone, I’m brewing the first pot of coffee in the new house. Maia discovered the basement, only three days after being relocated to the house. I was carrying stuff around and left the cellar door open. On the next trip I saw cat ears…

Boxes within Boxes

The house is really coming together, and I’m starting to think a little bit strategically in terms of what is going to go where. My cleaning philosophy is simple: Pick a spot and clean it. Once you’ve cleaned / organized a patch of space –…

Civilized

Woke up this morning in our very own house. The lion’s share of our stuff is here, including the real box spring and mattress. So much better for back health than a futon mattress on the floor. We woke up, dressed, and walked over to…

My day

node005:~ root# mkdir fooonode005:~ root# rmdir fooonode005:~ root# mkdir foo Can’t even spell “foo” right today.

Paperless, but with Paper!

I’ve moved. All my historical paper records are in boxes and piled up in my office. I did this deliberately, rather than shoveling them straight into the basement. They’re here and will be *organized* or (better) scanned and destroyed. I’ve realized that I can’t get…

Riggity jig

Home again from Atlanta. Since I’ve now exceeded the number of days that they can casually put me on the “visitor” list, I’ve been put in for badging. This will be the lightweight background check version (no outstanding felonies) rather than the “full polygraph” to…

Beautiful Day

Woke late, after much wine and laughter last night. Egg sandwich, packed two cars, drove to the house. Unpacked. redmed returned to the apartment to pack more boxes. I attacked the ceiling fixtures in the bathroom. The goal is a functional three-way switch for both…
