It has been 4 weeks since he moved...and he should have been back

Has he disappeared again, like Thierry?

Folks, I'm sorry to be a concern...

The move went exceptionally well, but many post-move issues as to be
expected.

Cox installed broadband, cable, and phone on the day before we moved and
all work well. However, prior to moving, we disposed of all of our office
furniture, and my PC is currently sitting on a stack of boxes...not a
comfortable place to surf or read/post to NGs. Right now I barely log on
once a day just to check personal e-mail. Actually, I'm writing from my
work laptop right now.

We've been eternally busy with unpacking, having so far unpacked about 2/3
of our 300+ boxes. and are slowly making some headway putting things back
together.

The kitchen is fully unpacked and for the most part in order. There was
only one glitch with the builder on cabinets, and they need to replace a
lower storage cabinet with a bank of drawers. It's not quite ready for
pictures yet, though. :-)

For nearly the past 2 weeks I've been making a daily round trip from Mesa
to Payson and back for a new software deployment and training, which has
left me a bit weary. It's not the mileage so much (160 miles round trip),
as it is the mountainous curvy roads that I've been driving in total
darkness in the wee hours of the morning. I do very little when I get home
at night.

I'll still not be online much for a while, until we get a bit more settled,
have some functional office furniture, and things settle down.

Thanks to all of you for your concern and kind comments. I will definitely
be back as...

Wayne Boatwright @¿@¬

Glad to know everything is okay if chaotic, Wayne, and congratulations
on your new home. Drive carefully, especially when you're tired.

I hope my room will soon be ready as I still hope to move in with you
so I can taste your cooking! =o) j/k

Wayne,

Hi!

Like I surmised, those boxes didn't unpack themselves?

I have seen, in many moves, a couple of places that offer "move in service."
You mark the intended rooms and the boxes as they are packed. A "decorator"
and "team" unload the boxes, arrange and put away everything in two days or
so and you arrive at your new domicile as to a completely unloaded,
arranged, clean and ready to live in house. No thanks. But I guess for some
people it would be worth the expense and time saved. I care way too much
about where everything is in my house and about people going through my
stuff.

Happens in the military like that! Professional movers. They pack and
unpack your house.

Mine didn't. I must have had substandard military movers. I would protest
but it's been a long time, though I think I may still have a few boxes
packed by them. My parents are the worlds greatest mover of prepacked boxes.
They have bene moving around about 50 boxes of books since before we moved
to Scotland the first time in 1981.

Yeah! *shudder* I love the part of moving where I unpack things and
decide where they go. No one's gonna take that away from me. Just
back off, Mr. Mover Man -- that's *my* job.

(And now I'm giggling at what they'd do with the dresser in my
bedroom. Probably put clothes in there, huh? And now where will all
the sex toys go, I ask you!)

The drawers in the bedside table?


Maybe that's just me.

Clothes in dresser drawers? No no no no no. Underwear, socks, pajamas belong
in the chest of drawers, the rest hangs in the closet. The dresser, who
knows what's in there, I don't look. Solved the cram it in the drawer and
forget it problem especially with my children.

I always thought of it as a traveling exhibition of historical reference
material. Only um no one cares to look at it?

Oh good. I was scrolling through messages in part to see
whether you had resurfaced. Now I am satisfied on that score.
I'm glad to hear things are going (sort-of) okay.

We have one of those Ikea baskets-in-a-column "chest-of-drawers"
things, and our underwear and socks go in there, in three of the six
drawers. Clothes, including pajamas, are on hangers in the closet.

The contents of the other three drawers in the Ikea thing, and the six
drawers in our dresser, are a topic for an entirely different
newsgroup.

ObFood: I'm still sick, and James is taking care of me. He made me
Cream of Wheat (which he hates) for breakfast, and a tuna sandwich for
lunch. He's talking about making fish soup for dinner, or we might
have barbecued seitan and rice.

Let's hold hands and sing the "If I don't get better within 24 hours I'm
going to scream" blues. A week of this is more than adequate. One trip to
the ER for dehydration is enough. This virus has apparently taken up
residence. I did cook supper yesterday for which my family was eternally
grateful and my son asked if I could please not be sick so Daddy doesn't
cook anymore. Poor bubba.
