…because I’m way too tired to think of one. Mentally, at least. Been getting a decent amount of sleep, despite sometimes intense abdominal pain. Thankfully I’m finally seeing a specialist end of next week to get some definitive progress made on alleviating that, and until then the doc gave me some better pain meds that…

Raked leaf build up from north side of driveway, in preparation of leveling out the area (most likely with some gravel). Used leaf build up as mulch around front tulip tree and dogwood. The locks were changed. Turned over dirt in front flower bed so that it is now ready for planting. Received mail, but…

Mailbox is up, and on our side of the street. It’s still a bit wobbly at the base, but we’ve got about 9 inches to build up the dirt around it to stabilize it more later. For now, it should work to a.) get us mail this week, or b.) get the post office to…

There was a thunderstorm during the night, so we get one of our first views of the yard in its wet state. Mostly it just highlights the fact that we need to do some serious work on the front ditch near the driveway. And we thought a new house would be low maintenance. 😛 Both…

Further humiliation via the mailbox. Seriously considering just getting a PO Box now and accepting the $50 lesson for the materials. 🙁

I was finally able to play with the new weedwacker.

So, we’re driving over to Lowe’s to get some gardening stuff for Michele. In my truck I tried to turn on the MP3-CD player I have hooked up, but it wouldn’t activate. Michele fiddled with it for a few, then sadly declared that it had bitten the ghost. Much laughter later, I explained the origins…

We arrived safely (except for some severe caffeine overdosing) in NC about 24 hours ago. After only a few hours of sleep, our moving men showed up with our stuff (early). That finished around noon, so we zoomed off to Lowes to pick up a few essentials (weedwacker, shower rod, stud finder, weed killer, mailbox…

It’s like firemen. You can’t fall in love with a fireman and then ask or demand that he stop fighting fires, even if your intentions are good. You can’t fall in love with a gamer and expect him or her to give up gaming to spend more time with you. (From Wired Magazine)

Assuming the stars align correctly, Pog should finally be getting his TV today. To say he’ll be happy is a severe understatement, as he purchased this TV only a few months before we decided to get married. Unfortunately, the TV is so heavy that it takes multiple strong people to move it, and finding people…
