We’re beat. We spent most of today moving furniture (some in and out windows!) at Kristi’s Mom & Dad’s house. But now we’ve ended up with a nice little space, our own little guest room where we can stay when we visit (and more importantly: get work done on the computer). The larger guest room is being readied for additional family. We’re about to go out for what I call the “victory dinner,” where the family eats like kings after a long day of work (like after one of our mammoth yard sales).

Kristi’s work at home (she has at least 3 “official” jobs) sometimes requires a second computer monitor (as does mine), so we brought along a 17″ Dell monitor that we can plug both of our computers into, and just use the switch depending on who needs the monitor most. The little alcove where we put a small table and chairs reminds us of an efficient business-professional-ready hotel room. Since Kristi moved up two years ago, we’ve been sitting on her bed on the computer, or trying to fit on to a crowded noisy kitchen table. This is much more comfortable.
