We don't have the energy to leave the house tonight. Old fashioned on the couch is all I can muster.

Usually Chicory hides when we have company or host holidays, but today there were 8 around the table, and he realized he could get so many pets in such a small area. He was a social little guy! 😺🥰

The house is as put together as it can be for 2.5 weeks post move. Thankful for a dining room that can comfortably fit everyone today. The old house was really tight with a leaf in the table.

Oh fun. USPS notified me that they left a package in the mailbox, but they really just tossed it over the fence. Good thing that item wasn't breakable. Also, what happened to just ringing the damn doorbell?!

Just returned from the grocery to a toilet tank on the hallway floor and a "it will only take a few hours" dishwasher installation on day two and still not done. My patience is waning.

Our dishwasher delivery window was 7:30-11:30am. They arrived just before 8, were pleasant and efficient, and now we can go about our day. Honestly so impressed!

Much of my life, I have wrestled with the fact that I'm pretty good at a number of things that I do not enjoy doing at all. Supervising staff is one of those things, and I am loathing every part of it right now. Can this break get here already?

Since we are still unpacking, we decided to make things a little easier on ourselves for hosting Thanksgiving this year. Popeye's cajun turkey has been confirmed. 🍗

Counting down the hours to the end of this work week so I can really dig into a full weekend of unpacking and getting this house feeling more like home.

Went to ABC on my lunch break to update the DL, and the whole state system went down as soon as I sat in the chair. 😞

After some DIY repairs by B and restacking by both of us (oof!), our washer-dryer from the old house are now up and running in the new house. Thank goodness as the piles of things needing to be washed was growing rapidly.
