Friday night made it home, carried the grill up from Tracy's car in the new place, also the new wall mount for the living room TV. Assembled the new grill, so Tracy could make dinner. Then put the new wall mount together and on the wall. It's awesome. Can totally watch TV while working in the kitchen now. Do need to get a Flat Power Strip Liberator so the mount can fold flatter against the wall though. Was supposed to do some painting, but the wall mount took a long time. Went back to the old place to sleep. Back to the new place Saturday morning for the alarm setup, which went fine, the delivery of the Pottery Barn dining table for the roof, which also went fine, and the Comcast install, which of course, didn't go fine. They were late, but managed to call 3 minutes before the end of the window, to say they'd be late because too many defective set top boxes, so had to pick up more from the warehouse, except they didn't have any, so instead they just came out to install internet. Which they did. Which worked for 15 minutes. Then Tracy, coming back from picking up some more stuff from the old place, said the installers were up on ladders in the alley. And then the internet stopped working. Sweet. Anyway, had to head out to the Argaos for a family BBQ. Ended up seeing The Dark Knight at the Woodridge 18 at 9:45pm, got tickets around 8:15pm, got to the theater about 20 minutes before the show, and managed to get decent seats. Good movie, but long. Slept out there Saturday night, then headed out shopping at a bunch of places on Sunday. Need to have measurements of windows and closet shelves before shopping again. Having wall colors handy would help as well. Then a multi-course meal for Ella's coming out party at Phoenix Restaurant. Lots of food. Even got to hold Ella for an extended period. Very cute. Then finally did a little painting in the master bedroom, since we got furniture delivered today. Including a dining room table. Except that some of it needs to be assembled. Awesome. Still lots of stuff to do, and try and get cable and internet working again. Ugh. Maybe we should have just gone with RCN.
