Didn’t we have one of these last week? Because it sure seems like it. Sunday did not go entirely according to plan, of course. I wound up taking more time to do a lot of tasks than I should have, and then we did a few shopping trips — Home Depot, Petsmart, Target, and Cub [...]

• Despite all the “aw fuck, I just broke a towel holder off the wall” and related minor issues, I love owning a house, dudes. Tonight, I’ve got some stuffs to do, and some measurements to take, and I gotta start pricing out drywall and insulation for the garage. Along with a heater. And electrical [...]
So all in all, the move went pretty well. We don’t have the Interweebs at home yet, and won’t until Thursday between 2pm and 5pm. Obviously, I’m alive. Kate is alive. The cats are alive (but traumatized). My right leg is a mass of bruises and scrapes from slamming it into various boxes and bits [...]

In addition to the basic fixes we need to implement once we’re in the house, there’s a few things I’d like do to it, once we’re in it. (Fifteen days until we closing!) 1. Insulate/update garage. It’s already partially insulated, of course, but I’d like to put up insulation and drywall on the left side, [...]
• We’re getting pretty close to having everything in-hand for the closing on the house. I need to sign something that my wife is sending me today, and I need my DD-214, which is on-order from the VA and should be here no later than the end of next week. Pretty awesomesauce, if you ask [...]
Man, I’m exhausted. But happy. A few highlights: • TempCat™ has gone back from whence he came. I’ll miss the little bastard. During the last few weeks, he’s become more affectionate and playful and has been fun to have around. I also won’t miss the little bastard. Five cats is just too damn many, and [...]
90 minutes on stationary trainer (morning), with audiobook. Clean office. Clean out car. Lunch with future in-laws, trip to Uncle Hugo’s. Visit with possible future painter for my bike frames. Gym for weight training (evening). Not a very productive day so far.
