Moved In, Unpacking, But Finally Able to Work a Little!

We’re in the new house and settling in bit by bit at last. It’s been quite the long process, but I’m finally working my way toward being able to work regularly again.

With a wireless internet connection, no less! I’m loving it, if only because it means we don’t have to run cables all through the house. The only cable outlets are in the master bedroom and the family room, and a straight run of cable to my office from the family room would have taken at least 20 feet without doing nice things like running over doorways rather than across the carpet.

I’m still in heavy unpacking mode. Found my keyboard 3 days ago, which encouraged me to go shopping for the wireless router and wireless USB adapter my computer needed. Set those up the next day. It went well overall, considering that it was my first time setting up a wireless network.

And spent a lot of time going through all the emails, etc. I’d missed in the time I’d been offline.

Much of my time has been spent unpacking and dealing with the kids. The older two love this house! Two stories and nearly twice the size of the old one we were renting. What’s not to love?

I’ll just gloss over the notion that this house, built in 2006 (think prime housing boom) was built way too fast and sloppy. There are door frames warping already on the way to the back yard.

There’s just so much to do! Address changes. Unpacking. Getting the kids registered for school.

And lovely, lovely hiking. We’ve just walked around the neighborhood so far, but Yucaipa has mountains all around. Should be fun.

We’re trying to do nightly family walks. Lots of hills here, so it’s pretty good exercise. I may yet naturally drop the weight from this last pregnancy.

My focus is not yet entirely on business, or even partially on business in a lot of ways. I’m posting now because I had meant to get back to work sooner, but there’s so much that needs doing.

Including sleeping. That one’s a little rough at times with a 6 month old, but I do try to fit a little sleep in once in a while.
