Whole House Fan Install
Installed a new thingy in the house. See it here. Supposed to be quiet, more energy efficient, etc. than the ones you can buy at Home Depot. So far I have my doubts. So far I expect it to die shortly after the 3 year warranty expires. – b
Netflix on Wii
Is freakn’ awesome. So the selection isn’t great, but the fact I can sit down, relax and watch something mindless (that’s TV isn’t it?) whenever I want is really nice. The whole wireless movie streaming is cool too. Now I can get caught up on Family Guy. – b
Teething Continues
Four teeth at once isn’t easy. You can see them. They’re there, but they’re still causing quite a fuss – drooling, waking, teething rings, etc. Between too tired (up a lot at night) and too busy (made some home improvements), haven’t had much time to post. Totally missed posting about Thanksgiving. Totally missed posting about […]
Mobility
I can hardly believe eight months ago Abigail could do nothing but be held. Now she goes where she likes and climbs what she wants. – b
Abigail’s Important Papers
Abigail has these papers. They’re very important. We keep them stacked neat on this table, so Abigail always knows where they are. When she needs them, she “processes” them. And she “processes” them all the time. every day. – b
From the Ashes
The pellet stove’s been acting up lately. It’ll go about a week, then display an error on the thermostat saying the ashpan has problems. The stove has a little pot (fire pot) in which it ignites and burns the pellets. When it’s done burning and shuts down, the bottom of that pot moves off to […]
That was it?
Down by 7. Squeaked around 10pm. Slept completely until 5:30 am. Short lived I suspect. More guests are arriving this afternoon. Routines and schedules will get all messed up again. – b
Night Weaning… Again
Abigail got 4 new teeth over the last week. That made for some restless nights. Now that they’re in, the nights are still restless. Last night she woke 3 times between 7pm and 7:30am. The lack of sleep made today difficult for us. It’s like we’ve taken a step two months backwards. Hopefully the turn […]
Only Nine Months
Fios battery died again. Technically it was the Radio Shack battery this time and it only lasted nine months. We’re going to try without one at all. See how that goes. – b
More Chores
The mother-in-law’s house has a lot of white pines. When it comes to cleaning gutters over there, it’s all needles all the time. One day strolling through Home Depot I noticed these new gutter guards. Unlike the typical metal mesh ones (which won’t stop needles), these were plastic mesh with a screen-like material over top. […]
