la la la, no pictures, la la
I KNOW. I am SO SO BAD.
The thing is, is there are BOXES. And there is no WOODSTOVE (although that should be remedied tomorrow morning, for-reals this time, or else, and hi! we don't have any wood! It is all at Mom and Dad's. We are planners, that's us), so you would not get a sense for what the room will really look like. Plus it's not like I took a whole lot of Before pictures [Rachel smacks head repeatedly], so you would have only the scantiest point of reference for how very different everything is, and what if you looked at the pictures and thought they WERE Before pictures, and I just couldn't handle that, so. No pictures. Yet. Maybe tomorrow.
But this is a post! And we are actually living in the house, and have been since Friday! And our DSL is completely wonky and I am hoping it is our DSL modem because that can be replaced, and not just the badness of the DSL connection in this area, which would make me very, very sad, because selling the house is, as I have mentioned previously, only happening when I am no longer around to have to be involved in the process because HATE HATE HATE. Even though right now it takes approximately four hours to do an upload that used to take thirty minutes, which is extremely unsatisfactory what with the whole Librivox addiction and the fact that I can finally indulge it again, only to be thwarted when I attempt to upload the files. Last night when this was discovered there was much growling. (Downloading and ordinary Internet surfing are only a tiny bit slower than normal. Whatever...)
Um, what else. School! School has started. I am not yet fully enthusiastic about it, but the whole moving/taking-on-mortgage/unpacking freakouts haven't quite run their course yet, so that's understandable; my mind is otherwise engaged. I have an online nutrition class, as well as a once-a-week history class at the local high school, with the same somewhat flaky generous grader I had for my very first college class a year ago. He was not glad to see me, seeing as how I was rah-ther annoying the last time he had me in class and he has no way of knowing that I've learned in the intervening semester to keep my mouth shut when someone else is talking. (I know! What a strange concept!). I thought about walking in with a piece of duct tape across my mouth, but I was afraid the joke would be lost on him, and plus, have you ever had to remove good-quality duct tape from your face? It hurts. I know this. (The things country kids do to amuse themselves.)
I know that I have been a terribly dilatory correspondent, and I will try to do better now that things are -- dare I say it? -- actually starting to settle down. Note that I said try...
