I have been neglecting my blog for so long! I plan on putting up some pictures from Alaina's 4th birthday party last weekend, as well as pictures from our new place. But we've been so busy just trying to organize our life.
For example, we moved into the new place on Sunday (March 9th) ... move was smooth (started at 9 am, but actually felt like 8 am with the time change) and I had all the boxes unpacked and pretty much most things put away by bedtime. However, we've now been having problems with our hot water heater. The pilot light keeps going out. We live in a loft and our furnace and pilot light are in this little crawlspace-like area above our 2nd bathroom and Kieran has to get up on a ladder ("ladder" is really a misnomer.... we don't have a ladder, so we've been rigging a step-stool on top of our dining room chairs to make it high enough for Mr. 6'3" Kieran to reach) and re-light the pilot light so that we can each take the fastest showers known to mankind before we run out of hot water. The pilot light does not stay on. Someone was there yesterday to fix it, but when we got home, the pilot light was out again. Same guy came this AM to fix it......TBD if he was actually successful this time.
Secondly, I worked like a DOG yesterday cleaning our old apartment so that it can be shown to prospective renters from here on out. Best case scenario is that it is rented by April 1 so we don't have to pay our last month's rent AND a mortgage payment. We'll see.....point of this.....cleaning old apartment and new apartment, as well as breaking down boxes, etc. has TORN UP MY HANDS AND NAILS. Now, those of you who know me well, know that my hands already look like Freddy Kreuger because I bite my cuticles. Well, it just looks worse now. So I am in massive need of nail therapy. And a hair cut and highlights. So not just the blog has been neglected - but my appearance as well.
Third, I am still sick. I know, I know...this is beyond a cold....but everyday I feel *better* and I am trying to wait it out now because I am way too busy to see the doctor. Now it's really just constant nose-blowing to the point where my nose is just raw. Sucks. My to-do list is a mile long and don't even get me started on Comcast (our new TV, internet, and phone service provider)....I am just thankful I only have me and dear Kieran to worry about. But I want a dog. And I am ultimately not complaining about my life, because it's good, I know. I am very lucky and blessed. But I just wanted to post an update and I will post pictures later of sweet, sweet Alaina at her party. fun times.
Oh - and I left off a very dear person on a previous post -- the spare bedroom is not only Patricia's and my mom's....it's Bonnie's, too! Anytime, Bonnie, please come up and visit and I swear we won't make you light the pilot light yourself for your shower! :)
