A more productive day.

Posted on by David Maxwell

Went to the storage unit this morning and got myself a desk and some shelves. The shelves went into the pantry and the desk into my office. It was nice to begin setting up my office. I have several more things to bring in bit this was a good start. I will try to do more tomorrow. It was a little like Christmas opening up all of the boxes. I also put away a lot of kitchen stuff. It is nice to finally have adequate storage space for all of the cooking accessories.

Luke did pretty well today. We played a lot and he took two good naps. He is generally happy.

Fun day with grandparents.

Liz had a work event up in Nashville today so I was initially flying solo with Luke. Then my dad came (with my car, thankfully!) and got to play with him some. Then my mother arrived and helped feed him lunch. He was in an great mood, laughing and having so much fun.

This evening we spent more time setting up the kitchen. It now seems like everything is accounted for, it all just needs to be put in place. I went to Kroger tonight and it leaves a bit to be desired. The selection isn’t as good as ours at Nipper’s Corner, and much to my chagrin they only had self checkout open. If I wanted to ring up groceries I would get a job there!

Slow march towards normalcy.

Everybody slept better last night, except for Lily the cat. And that was by choice, as she wanted to run all through the house. I did a few little tasks around the house today, like knobs on vanity doors/drawers and attempted to install a dimmer switch in the master bath. That didn’t go well, I think because I don’t have compatible light bulbs. We did a lot of unboxing in the kitchen. There is still a ways to go but it feels like we are making progress.

Luke had his nine month check-up this afternoon, a month and a half late. The doctor said he is doing great. I read to him a little this afternoon before dinner. He ate his solid food very well and went to bed easily.

Trying to get settled.

There is lots to unpack. We pretty much just got (some of) the essentials done today. Luke slept very poorly last night but was in a good mood. Lily the cat is probably adapting better than any of us. It was a nasty, rainy day, so we didn’t go outside at all. Tomorrow I need to go on a couple of shopping expeditions. The house feels rather different with three additional inhabitants.

Moving stuff, cleaning, anticipating.

I went to Lowe’s and got paint first thing this morning. Then I went and picked up the trailer while my dad painted. We hauled two loads of stuff before it started raining. Then we moved stuff around inside. Tomorrow him and my mother will come do a little more cleaning while I drive up to get Liz and Luke. My mother and two of her friends came by today to check out the house. I feel like it is starting to look pretty good. We were working too hard to take any pictures. After calling it a day we drove up here to Nashville where my mother fixed a delicious dinner. I will try to go to bed pretty early since I plan on leaving at the crack tomorrow.
