TimesToCome

Love the stereo, I have the 3 Tenors and some favorite opera cuts blaring through the house. The husband tells me from the second floor there are four wireless networks beside ours that he can see.

Tv and Dvd are now hooked up. Once we can get mail I’ll start up Netflix again. Very busy day here. I made another major cleaning pass, we put more furniture together and did more errands. I did a ton of shopping online last night, that was a big help. The junkman comes tomorrow to haul stuff away so we can start on the next round. We’ve a pile of styrofoam and cardboard that is about 4′x3′x12′. It is seriously encroaching on living space. We also fixed many of the little things on the to do list and the air filter system is up and running. It’ll be interesting to see if it helps with my allergies.

I love wearing the ipod when I am out doing errands, instead of mugging you when you enter a store, the help just smiles knowingly. It is much better than having to deal with them.

The Walmart candy section isn’t all candy down here. About half of it is beef jerky in about 30 different flavors. They also have microwavable pork rinds. ( ewww !! ) Another odd thing down here is all the mattress stores. Every strip mall has a mattress store. I don’t know how they all stay in business, it looks like there are at least a half dozen mattress chains.

The water bed is helping, now I don’t wake up sore every day. It is the tallest water bed I’ve ever had, kind of strange I’m used to low sitting beds.

We found a living room set that should mostly come Friday, a stereo, tv and assorted little things yesterday. We got the built in stereo up and running, sounds great. I think they are the same speakers we had in the old house.

I’ve two clogged drains, I think from the contractors using them to clean up. I did get the two broken blinds fixed today.

I’m glad the gym is coming soon, we got a scale yesterday and I was not happy, much more of this lifestyle and we’ll be waddling.

The new water heater was installed yesterday, the installers tried to tell us the old one wouldn’t fit through the attic door and had to stay up there. Right. I’ve seen that trick before, out comes the tape measure and they go through a head scratching routine. But since the new one was the same size they couldn’t make much of a case.

We have an amazing pile of styrofoam, cardboard and other assorted packing material. I’ll have to call the junk man to get that this week. The house is starting to feel livable now.
