Progress?

Yesterday, took Kyle to the pediatrician (the foot problem was a strained ligament), checked on the shower doors (coming today... actually here right now), waited for the dark lord to show (despite the fact that Lisa talked to him Sunday night, telling him we wanted to postpone our meeting -- ostensibly to have him hand over the 1.5K check and lien papers, but also to take a look at the leak in the garage [and the water heater issue... which seems to have resolved itself... though we started talking about tankless water heaters Sunday night] -- since we had much to work on re: Dad's surgery this week (more on that later), and waited for Cain the electrician to show and fix the network issue.

The results: Kyle's out of contact for a week (what this bodes for Saturday's goalie clinic is still up in the air), jerkweed never showed, I missed Dad's surgical pre-op session at the hospital, and Cain's brother (the network "specialist") showed up at 5:30... by 7, he had successfully set up Dad's room with connectivity... by 9, he was done... for the night. No other rooms were connected, so today, I'm back on the couch (and it's having an effect on my back and shoulders and neck... looks like I won't be canceling my "last" chiro appt tomorrow). Now, Dad's sick (some kind of upper respiratory thing)... and he'll call this morning to postpone tomorrow's surgery.

On the plus side, we hung clocks yesterday, Dad's done a great job of cabinet pulls and hooks in the boys' closets, and Lisa's settling into the closet. Also, the dryer guy came (bad lint issues and a nickel jammed between the drum and the side of the machine)... so we can now dry clothes!
