A New Week
It's been a little over a week now for me, and things are starting to feel "normal" again. It always seems to take about that long to adapt to new surroundings - which makes week-long vacations elsewhere rather odd.
We have a new 27" TV in the living room. In the end, I decided the minimal benefits of HDTV and widescreen format weren't really worth the additional expense. Besides, this one fits nicely on the entertainment center. Still, we don't use the living room much. We're both accustomed to living in our rooms with our own electronics (computers, consoles, TVs). We did have our first guest stay the night down there, though.
And there's still work to do, of course. Our second phone line should be active tomorrow. Tuesday/Wednesday, I should have a dishwasher to install. Saturday, we get a refrigerator delivered... which may not fit through the doorways into the kitchen if it's all assembled. o.o; Then there are other things to turn to: attic ventilation, a crawlspace vapor barrier, screens for the windows, weather stripping for the front door, and determining just how much work would be involved in making the sliding glass door in back (un)lockable from the outside (as that's closer to where we park).
All things considered, though, I'm feeling pretty good about life. I think I'm at the last battle in Disgaea (and it's time to level-up some before tackling it again) after relaxing and playing a good bit yesterday. Online... well, it's a little on the dull side. The next time I suggest something that would remove my character from RP with more than one person for well over a week, please someone whack me.
