We had believed that the kitchen would pose no storage problems for us, because it’s replete with cabinets and drawers and whatnot, but it turned out to be a near thing. The office is probably going to be easier, and likely the next task, but I’m a lot more cautious with my optimism now.
Chester is settling in nicely, but we’re a little worried about his habit of jumping up onto the (smooth-top) range. I’d really like him to learn that it’s not a good idea, but I fear that it’ll take a painful injury for the lesson to take.
My prescription needs renewing, but my Québec prescription isn’t portable to Ontario pharmacies, so I’m going to have to find some walk-in that will just cough up the Celexa scrip without actually forcing me to endure rediagnosis, etc. Maybe I should take a quick trip to Montréal and get a year’s worth of pills.
Tyla’s dad was also critical to the success of our relocation, and I was remiss in not calling attention to that fact in yesterday’s entry. Today he’s taking our chest freezer, spare desk and miscellaneous books and magazines to Kia, back in Ottawa, because he’s a glutton for punishment.
I have to get a new cell phone today, and I’m thinking that I’d like the new Blackberry. I just bet that I’m going to have to break someone’s brain over at Rogers in order to get it set up, though.
If you’re using the Ximian gnome2 snapshots for your desktop, do not update. It’s a total disaster right now, if you want to use the panel or gnome-terminal or stuff like that.
My cell-phone adventure was somewhat successful. After trying futilely — at two large stores — to arrange something that would let me use the new Blackberry when it is made available for non-corporate use in November, without requiring me to buy a completely new unit at non-subsidized retail, I had a brainstorm. Instead, I just switched my current phone over to a Toronto number, while keeping my Montreal one active (it now has a voice mail message telling people where to go, as it were). I also switched to a flat-rate plan for long distance and roaming in Canada and the US, so as to avoid any more $700 surprises after extended trips south. (There are about two dozen cities where I will get hit with $4/min charge if I pick up my phone, but I hope to never need to spend time in any of them.)
