Ah, Home Again

Or for the first time, in this case. All the big stuff is moved and my living room is full of boxes, most of them full of books. I went out and bought a couple of bookcases and I think I'm gonna need a couple more. The one thing I don't like about my new house is the size of the kitchen. It doesn't have a separate dining room, so there's a dining room table in a kitchen that was already too small to begin with. For someone who loves to cook, this is a problem. On the good side, it has about a 400 square foot deck, and since I do a lot of my cooking outdoors, this is a good thing. I'm also going to need to get a second freezer, since I buy beef as sides and have it butchered. One of my new neighbors stopped by as I was moving stuff in and gave me the whole history of the neighborhood; he's lived here 43 years. I told him if he smells something good cooking from the deck, feel free to drop in for a bite. Obviously, my internet was installed without a hitch, but then today I decided to be really stupid and broke the table my computer was sitting on temporarily, sending computer, monitor, speakers and various other peripherals crashing to the floor. The only thing that appears to have been damaged are the speakers, and I've got another set of good computer speakers anyway. And I only drew blood once while moving, when I smacked my shin into a tab of metal on the trailer. So all in all, it's gone pretty smoothly.
