Done last month (20140427 Su - 30 We)

[mdlbear]

Sunday we unloaded the U-Haul, and returned it. Then Colleen went with Liz and Ogg to Pike Place Market while I stayed home and puttered. She got into the van by herself -- first time she's used it since she broke her ankle 11 months ago.

Gad! 11 months!

It's nice to have our tools back. Both gardening tools, and some of the less-used woodworking tools. And one of our workbenches.

Not much else besides links. I ordered some books. Still fighting depression. The usual.

0427 Su
  * awake 4:30ish; up 5:30ish; W=209.6; d, n
  * ordered a cable tester, since one of the problems I had last night was apparently a
    bad XLR cable.
  * Upgrading a couple more laptops to Ubuntu 14.04.  Tedious, since one has to go in
    stages, through 12.10 and 13.10.
  * Truck unloaded, with help from Ogg, plus Liz and Glenn in shifts.  Took under an
    hour.  The wood and garden tools are stacked against the South side garage door, and
    the workbench is sitting out.
  * Returned truck.
  : Colleen going to Pike Place market with Ogg and Liz.  She got into the van!
  * Got a tarp and four welding clamps for the workbench.
  * 15min:  been working on and off all day sorting through a box labeled "cables and
    squids" that I brought up because I needed audio cables.

It's good to hear that Colleen is doing better.

I finally had my health care kick in (I couldn't document the correct income level until early April - barely in time for for both the IRS and the ACA). So some longstanding health issues are finally being treated. And in other good news, they did some (routine) lab tests and didn't discover any NEW problems.

Yay!
