Moving

A short post to let you know the status of our saga for the moment. There are no photos, sorry about that, but there will be again soon. Once we get phone and internet service. Another saga. Anybody heard of xfone? That is the provider in our neighborhood due to contracts the developer made. Result: no idea when we get a pedestal run to our house. The 7-14 day window is now in week 4, going on 5 by Monday. We are physically in the house. The shipment arrived on the 17th in the middle of the heat wave. Those poor guys moving all that heavy Indonesian furniture in that heat. We had lots of water and powerade for them so we wouldn't have to call 911. There are so many things to do but every day the stack of boxes and things to put away gets a bit smaller. Patricia has come twice to help and to take away some of the packing materials because she is packing to move (again!) this month. Mom and Dad came over yesterday and cleared out a few more boxes. Thanks so much for that!

Anyway, we will post again, with photos, once we are able to concentrate on something more than unpacking. And we have access to internet again. Right now, we come to Steele internet cafe for our online needs.

Oh, we also set fire to my computer trying to set it up again. Tom took it into a shop here to see if anything was recoverable. The power pack was multi-voltage so we aren't sure what went wrong. The guy thinks maybe it grounded itself...

I panicked when I read about the computer fire. Then I remember, "She hasn't gotten her Mac yet. It's okay." hee
