Yes, for those of you who haven't seen it, my house really is white. So I can say that, and it's okay. Anyway, I can't even begin to tell you how great it is to be in our house. Despite our little plumbing problem (and it really was minor), it's been awesome. It'll be even more awesome when we get the lawn mowed. We've been living here for 2 weeks almost and still don't own a lawnmower. Thankfully, a guy I work with, Matt, has one that he is trying to sell, so he said we could buy it. Now it's just a matter of getting over to his house after work some day this coming week to get it. I'm hoping for Tuesday, but it'll probably be Wednesday or Thursday before I do. Fortunately, John's dad is going to bring over his lawn mower tomorrow and do our lawn for us, and try to fix the railings on our front stairs. Most of you probably didn't know that our railings were loose, and John was able to pull one right off. So Dad C. is going to come over and repair them tomorrow, and mow our lawn. That will be awesome to come home to a mowed lawn. And railings, but we don't use the front door, really. It'll just make it look nice again.
As for the plumbing fiasco... Well, on Monday the 5th, I was in the shower, and John discovered that our upstairs shower was leaking through the ceiling onto our movie rack. So he moved it and put a cup under it. Then that night when he showered, it didn't really do anything. To make a long story short, we discovered that the longer the shower, the worse it leaked. So yesterday we had the plumber over to look at it. Fortunately, it just needed to be repaired with some putty. But everything in our ceiling was soaked. So this wasn't something that was new. Fortunately, none of the wood had rotted, and there was no mold or mildew, so that was good. So we just need to give it about a week to air out, and then we've got to have someone come and patch up the ceiling. I don't really know who is going to do that, but someone will.
So that was the great adventure of plumbing. Other than that, it's just been life. Trying to get back into a routine when the last thing you want to do is leave your new place is really hard! I was out of work sick twice last week, so I think this whole moving thing has just been hard on me, physically. I think it drained a lot out of me, and so I was more susceptible to illnesses.
Last night I went out with John and a bunch of his friends to go see the new X-Men movie. It was okay, but not my favorite. As one of John's friends said, they were trying to introduce too many new characters. Yesterday, I also got us a new DVD/VCR combo for our living room. That is exciting! Today we went to look at new TV's so that we can put the one that's upstairs down in the den, and we'll get a new one for the living room. But we're having a very hard time deciding between LCD or plasma. Any imput on the subject would be appreciated. The one we having in our living room now is an LCD.
I guess that's really about it. Sorry this is such an uneventful update. But it happens. In the words of Westly from "The Princess Bride": Get used to disappointment. =)
