Sorry for not doing more updates -- things have been going slowly.

We've also been a bit depressed because we found out on Monday that Alison's full time job, which seemed like a sure thing ("So do I have the job?" "Well, you are the remaining candidate."), is not so sure. She showed up for a meeting with the president on Monday, which turned out to be an interview. I guess they may need to cut the position for budget reasons.

On Monday, she was told she would be told for sure on "in a couple of days." She called back on Friday, but the president was in a meeting and never called back.

So anyway, that has cast quite a shadow on the week. Also, somehow cleaning up/setting up is taking a lot longer. I think the easier things are done.

Unfortunately, I ordered a 50" flat screen TV (Pioneer Kuro -- considered the best and being discontinued) right before we found out that the job was uncertain. So anyway, we re-arranged the living room again. I think this is the final arrangement. It took a long time to set up: mounting the TV on the wall, getting a surge protector to go behind the record case, etc. But it is set up now!

Also, we finally got the concrete work done on the garage and we can pull the car in. We certainly appreciate our garage more having tried to park on the street for a couple of weeks.


I'll post again once the condo is really set up. The last major thing to do is to paint the dining room, so we can set up the furniture in there.
