While I’m waiting
Jeremy here with another semi-regular update.
I thought I’d recap the past few days while I’m waiting at the house for the phone, cable, Internet, and gas guys to get here and hook up their respective utility. “But wait,” you say, “how are you posting if the Internet guy hasn’t shown up?” We’ve got the Kingrey’s and their open wireless connection to thank for that. Thanks, Kingrey.
Anyway, the move was successful over the weekend. We had lots of great help from Grandmas and Grandpas Burkhardt and Fuksa as well as Aunt Angela and Uncle Pete. It was a houseful but it made the tough job go very quickly. The Fuksas headed back to Oklahoma yesterday morning and Robin and I went back to bed for a well deserved extra morning nap. We then spent some time getting things in order around here. Aside from Whiz’s room, there’s not a moving box to be seen upstairs. My office in the basement is another story. However, my dad, Pete and I got some studs pulled out and reinforced in order to open the area underneath the stairs into super magnifico storage. Go team. Soon, boxes marked “Sentimental Poo” and other nondescript things will find a dark home where they will sit until the next time we move.
Stella is here but the cats are still at the old apartment hanging out. I’m going to give another attempt at finding a good, loving home for them this week before we bring them over. If I don’t find a home by Saturday, they’ll be moving over here as well.
Of course, on the baby front, there’s big news… the sex of the baby will be revealed tomorrow! I had a close call at work. I was scheduled to go to San Jose, CA on business tomorrow (I know, rough), but was able to bump it until Thursday so I wouldn’t miss the big unveiling.
That’s about it. Robin’s laptop just finished getting backed up, so I’m off to fix it. It sat for a few days and totally drained the battery. Now it won’t recognize that there’s any battery. Apparently reinstalling the OS will fix that. We’ll see.
