New Sink!

I am still delighted about the sink. Doing the dishes, believe it or not, makes me positively giddy. Plus, I've cleaned and scrubbed and disinfected the kitchen counters enough that I now feel able to actually cook. I've eaten dinner at home twice in a row now, and gone 2 entire days without eating out at all. Does this new fondness for doing dishes and cooking represent a shift in paradigm? Only time will tell.

The rest of the house continues to come along. I have the science fiction and fantasy paperbacks shelved, and am working through the hardcovers and graphic novels. I am geek; hear me roar. I still haven't figured out where I'm going to put the rest of my books (a miscellaneous hodgepodge of English-language, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and French fiction and non-fiction), but I need to uncover the dictionaries as soon as possible. (I've found the Webster's Unabridged for English, but I'm woefully unprepared should a translation project come my way.)

The phone lines are my next big challenge. I hope to talk to the phone company tomorrow, so be prepared for a sudden loud shriek of horror and disbelief sometime around mid-morning.
