Have a real estate agent now to sell the old place. First thing? Had to get rid of all the stuff we left. Which was a considerable amount. Already brought back one load. Have probably 2 more plus all the refuse and donation stuff. Definitely time to say goodbye to some of the food from 2003 or 2009 that we had still in the shelves. Did check out Bulerias Tapas Bar, down the street from us on Ashland. Nice to have a pretty good tapas place close by again. The patatas bravas were especially good last night. Still unpacking, organizing a little. Doesn't help that I keep bringing boxes home though. Walked all the way over to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel for mass. That was a healthy walk. Really feel like I need to watch Heat because of the Channel 33 podcast celebrating it's 20th anniversary. Also feel like I should try and see Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as I'm starting to see spoilers from that, which is impressive because I haven't been keeping away from the Internet at all.

Finally saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Now I can go back and listen to all those podcasts I've been skipping and reading all those online articles I haven't been clicking on. Yes, I got the feels when the opening crawl started. And lots of laughs. Good times. it was a fun movie. Looking forward to repeat viewings when it comes out on video as well as all the movies that are coming down the pipe. I'm in on the new characters. I want more. As for the house, still things to do. Always things to do. I still have most of my clothes in boxes. Kitchen's pretty much all set. Still waiting on a couple pieces of furniture, like a nice big ottoman and our kitchen table. And now that the christmas tree is out of the parlor, we need stuff to put in there. Not sure what. And need to get the garage door to work better (might be an antenna problem).

Completely forgot that Shadowhunters and The Magicians (tv show) were starting in January. I started watching The Magicians, and while there are some differences I'm hooked 15 minutes in. Haven't tried Shadowhunters yet, but I'm not as excited for that one. Happy the weather warmed up a little bit to get the snow and ice off my parents car that I've been borrowing. Had to take a little time off to take care of Jackson who got sick again, but seems to be all healed up. Of course this is after I took him in for a doctor's appointment and he checked out just fine. Next step now that he's healthy, is to get him back on schedule and back to sleeping in his own bed. That will not be a fun week or so.

Watched the first episode of Jessica Jones. More good stuff to watch. Intense. Forgot to mention I finished off Continuum a week or so ago. Fairly satisfying ending. Finally got some cardboard bricks for myself, I mean, for the kids. Found some at HomeGoods so had to get them. Surprised at the construction quality. Wonder if I should use one as a stencil and make even more with all the moving boxes. Getting another humidifier for the house. Probably should get a bunch. It gets dry up in here. Getting confused by the weather. I was actually all set for a mild winter, then we get wind chill advisories 3 days after 40 degree weather. Go figure. Still haven't biked to work since November 16. Yikes. 2 months. Guess I should get back to it.

Finally got OpenVPN set up on the Ubiquiti Edge Router Lite at home, so now I can connect remotely without issues. Pretty cool. Got Jackson sleeping in his room for the first time since we moved. Only climbed out like 8 times, and only cried for an hour. Have to wait and see what time he wakes up tomorrow. Gonna be the first time sleeping with Tracy without a kid in a long time. Maybe I'll unpack clothes tonight. Started watching Jessica Jones on Netflix. Good stuff. It's just good TV, with superpowers. Got a new Apple TV. It's pretty cool. Plex is pretty cool. First game installed was Just Dance Now. Also pretty cool. Fingers crossed Amazon Video shows up eventually. Then maybe retire the 3rd generation Apple TV. The Computer/Home Sharing is pretty slow in scrolling and doesn't keep my spot when browsing the listing. Hoping that gets fixed, or maybe I'll move all non iTunes Purchases into Plex and out of iTunes. Realizing other bonuses from living in a house? Putting lots of beer in the basement fridge.
