Dinner Guests
Lindsey was up for a wander around 3AM. With the new house, she finally has her own bedroom, and she’s been making the transition to her own bed. Most nights she’s been sleeping through, but last night she woke up and I had to go snuggle her back to bed. She went down again pretty easily, fortunately, and I slept through until the more sensible hour of 6:30 when I got up to update the usual pile of web sites.
I spent a chunk of my morning on the phone to AT&T and Dish Network arranging new service. We’ve currently got integrated internet/cable/phone via WOW, but we’re dropping their internet and not real happy with their cable, and they won’t sell you phone without one or the other. So, time to redo everything. Fortunately we’re using Grand Central to proxy our phone numbers anyhow, so the numbers we pass on to other people won’t change.
Dana took off around noon to go visit a potential web work client, while I made lunches for kids. We skipped afternoon schoolwork as a result. Instead, I installed a new hard drive in Adam’s computer and got a bit of coding work done.
Our friends Deb and Johnathan came over for dinner, and we had pork loin, broccoli, snap peas, and homemade mac and cheese, with Charleston pudding for dessert. The meal turned out well, and a good time was had for all. After they left (to go serve as “family IT” for some other folks), I sat down and caught up briefly on a bit more work before getting kids and then the rest of us to bed.
