The Time-Warner fellow came out and we have our cable modem back, hurrah! As Lut said: it's not quite home until the cable modem is installed. Now we have it, and my life can start to get back to normal.

Just as soon as I get a plumber and a roofer. I swear, I'm tempted to install a new sump pump myself. Home Depot sells them but doesn't install them. Home Depot, Lowe's, and Sears would all install a water heater for me, and for about 70% of what the two plumbers I've talked to want. Gah. Why do plumbers want so much more of a markup than a storefront does? I expected it to be the other way around. I'm still waiting on a call back from the last plumber. I also need a water pressure regulator. I don't even know where a water pressure regulator goes, much less how to install one. Blah.

In other news, I spent too much money on a washer/dryer, but, what the heck, at least it's done and I'll have it here on Saturday. And, gosh, it's so much nicer than the washer/dryers I'm used to in laundromats. Even the low-end front loader models are quite spiffy. Mmm.

That's it for now. Maybe I can get caught up on my friends list finally!

Yay for cable modem! Boo for high-priced plumbers! :-/

Watch yer mailbox in a few days. I'm gonna send you a little surprise. :-)

I look forward to watching my mailbox! Just as soon as I, um, get one. Yeah.

The house didn't come with a mailbox. O.o We bought a post and a box from Walmart, but we need some kind of mounting block thingie for it, too. Yeesh! If it ain't one thing, it's another, I'm tellin' ya.

The house didn't come with a mailbox? *blinkblink* Eeeeeenteresting. Well, I hope the mailman will put your mail on the doorstep or something like that until you can get one put up! ;-)

I called the post office yesterday, and they said they hang on to our mail unti we have a mailbox. :( Hopefully getting a mailbox planted won't be too tough, once we've got that last mounting thing.

That's good enough for me. I can wait until the weekend to put your surprise in the mail, if you like? That would give you some lead time. :-)

No! Don't wanna wait! *sigh* Guess I'd better, though.

:)

I'll post on LJ as soon as we've gotten it put in; hopefully won't take too long to accomplish.
