Back to Real Life and quiet work. Mr. ATT has come and gone, and I've got the fiber-optic U-Verse system now... despite the fact that the salesman completely misrepresented to me what I was getting (several features which he assured me were part of it are in fact... not). (Now I'm waiting to see if the "free gift" for signing up is bullshit, too.)
In any case, it does the thing for which I switched over to the system: nice lightning-fast download speed, which the old DSL line, after 13 or 14 years, simply wasn't giving me.
So I get to very slowly and carefully replace the furniture I moved to clear a path for the install - slowly and carefully because I pulled a muscle in my back while setting up the tent for the July 4 cook-out. (I sat back and let my guests provide their own party, which they did quite well - they know the drill. And fortunately, my nephew's sweetheart is a trained chef who has managed restaurant kitchens, so she was fine to take over organizing things.)
The cats of course were in a tizzy when they came out of lock-down and found the furniture all disarrayed and the bookshelf in the hall down: "What the frak is this? It's all different!" First the new Memory-Foam mattress and now this!
So it's a day of laundry, putting books back on shelves, and Actual Work: Ben January #13, a book I got the idea for 2 years ago at a conference in New Orleans and have been itching to start on ever since. (And it better go quick, because once school starts again things are going to be pretty intense).
