Move Again.. Kind Of

We had to move Marty's office from the first floor next to the kitchen up to our bedroom because to install the two bathrooms on the bedroom level they have to cut into the ceiling which is directly over his office.  They do construction so differently here.  They have to put the plumbing in the floor of the new bathroom and the ceiling of Marty's office and also slant the floor a bit in the new bathroom.  Anyway, all that to say we had to move... again.  This time much less painful but stressful all the same.  Marty had to figure out how to switch the internet hook up from his office to our bedroom which required some techy tool purchase on Amazon which was delivered around 7:30PM on Saturday.  When he opened it he realized that he also needed 2 9volt batteries.  Problem was, all the stores are closed on Sunday and we had to get this done before his radio show on Monday. I jumped on my bike and sped to the store within minutes to spare before their 8PM closing.  I took
Look how SMALL that thing of milk is??
advantage of a nearly empty shopping bag and splurged and bought a box of Nestle quick hot cocoa.  The days have been cold and things like this are a comfort from home.  I knew I had stocked up on the (stupidly small) one liter containers of milk so we should be set for awhile for hot chocolate. The fact that you cannot buy milk in anything bigger than a liter is highly annoying.  My kids don't drink a ton of milk and I often think how much more annoyed I would be if they did.
Marty's old, empty office. 
Sunday we moved and Marty reconnected wires.  I have to say, he is pretty smart.  At first it didn't work so he tried this and then tried that and then this again and voila.. about an hour or so later he has good strong internet connection up in our bedroom. 

That evening we met our good friends, the Buchanans, at our favorite Asian Place.  It is one of their favorites too.  Not sure they go as much as we do but we all LOVE it. 
Everyone was tuckered out by the end of the day. Since the kids have been on vacation we have all been staying up late and sleeping in.  It has been nice.
