more blah blah blah

there is an end to this packing in sight – and i’m amazed since i still have a week until moving day…. i have yet to tackle the entranceway, the kitchen and the bedroom, but the living area, bathroom, gear closet and basement are pretty much taken care of – so by tomorrow night i should be pretty much finished, save for the last-minute items for thursday night. that means i can focus on cleaning and getting rid of garbage. this evening i have a garbage burning planned for all the stuff that can be easily burned – a small perk to living in the country is open fires.

i finished with my paperwork yesterday, and as of monday it will be filed, making me the legal owner of my house. from start to finish, this whole process will have taken 5 weeks by moving day… hard to believe that these things can happen so fast…

the return key fell off my ibook yesterday, and for the life of me i can’t get it to reattach – it looks like something has got bent which might be the reason why. i guess i must be typing with some ferocity to actually bend the metal bits that hold the keys together – or possibly it really is that i have bad luck with ibooks…..

fortunately it’s still under warranty so i’ll take it in this week to have it looked at… i’ve been meaning to take it in for the wireless antenna (which has always had crappy signal strength) for ages, and get more ram for the damned thing too – so i suppose it will be a combination trip to macstation. word from the wise – if you are buying an ibook, the 3-year applecare is a *must* have. for all the apples i have owned since 1995, the ibooks definitely have the most problems (moreso than the older mac laptops even) – something about their supersonic lightness seems to make them more prone to hardware issues.

really, i’m just posting at the moment as a mechanism for procrastination – apparently my landlady is showing the house again today to some prospective renters – so i really should get on packing a bit more before they get here…..
