Settling in.. finally

Well, finally we're back online after 2 weeks of hassling our telco. I have no idea how non-techies deal with problems, it's hair-tearingly frustrating.
A quick catch up of the move - packing up was hell and I will NEVER hoard stuff ever again; it's a nightmare trying to do it all and I went quite mad, leaving so much stuff behind that I now regret losing, but perhaps it's a lesson in zen acceptance and letting go. Maybe..
We ended up moving on the wettest day in years but I fled the scene and came down to the house with the laptop and waited for the movers. The dogs had been put into kennels earlier that week so at least I didn't have to worry about them. Unpacking was reasonably quick as I really wanted the house to look perfect as soon as possible rather than living with boxes so I worked my ass off to get it right. We still have all our pictures leaning up against the wall as there's almost nowhere to hang them nor will they really fit with the decor, but I'll figure something out. Eventually we'll do a bit of redecorating.. eventually.
In a fit of enthusiasm I started a vege garden; planted some lettuces and some asian salad greens - so far, Rabbits 6, Me 1/2 coz they don't like the asian greens so I guess we can live together in some kind of harmony. At least the parrots are enthusiastic about the seed I put out every couple of days and distract me evil bunnies.
Cleaning the house today - now I remember why I worked. I loathe repetitive tasks and housework has to take that particular cake. I've tried to persuade the dogs to help out but they claim their lack of an opposable thumb renders them useless, but I think they're just lazy, although I could make them wear booties so they could at least dust the floor a bit.
Vacuuming is next on my list of chores - great for back pain, should you ever feel the need for some. Oh well, here goes...
