Too Busy to Blog Still (but here’s a short news update)
Last week’s project is mostly done (I’ll go in early tomorrow to finish it) but I leave tomorrow for the first of three trips this month so it stays busy.
I took Friday off. Thursday night we went and picked up a refrigerator that someone was giving away. It’s old, but it works, and since the newer one we had died before our last big trip it was nice to have a spare fridge again.
Friday we looked at, bought, and brought home an oak bunk bed for the boys. Their old one had been broken for a while and we’ve been tired for some time of the “mattress on the floor” method.
Saturday I moved the old fridge to the garage (I’ll learn how to fix it later when I learn about kegging beer), which was a bigger chore than I thought. I also put together the bottom section of the bunk bed and installed some upgrades we bought for the home desktop. We had only 246Meg of RAM, and XP hogs most of that, so my wife was continually frustrated with the speed. Now we sport a new DVD drive and 1GB of RAM and now we can surf the web while the virus scan is running. 
Margary is mobile now, so we’re rushing around trying to figure out how to child-proof again. My mom is still doing well, and we’re all ready for things to calm down, but they don’t seem to be.
I’ll post more later when things calm down.
