A Blur of Activity

Not only do we get to unpack, but we're also undertaking various projects: mounting medicine cabinets, toilet paper holders, towel racks, adding shelves -- and when all else fails, calling in the professionals. The plumber found the reason the drain was glacially slow was that someone had dumped grout into it, which hardened.

Meanwhile, Abby was coughing so we took her to the vet, who diagnosed it as asthma and noticed evidence that she had fleas. That meant washing all the bedding, throws, etc., as well as treating Abby.

We also moved items from the temporary apartment that my better half had, and culled the duplicate furniture.

In my spare time, I got my Pennsylvania drivers license, vehicle registration, and voter registration.

It's a challenge at first getting things to where they're comfortable in a new home. And then most houses have these little quirks that reveal themselves gradually--like grout down the drain. What were they thinking??? However, hope you all are enjoying your new home and neighborhood in the little spare time you have.

And Abby also waited until she was in your good graces to reveal her little quirks like fleas and asthma? I'm sure she still lucked out to be adopted by you.
