Update 25 July 2008

Today, Cort will be delivering Ed’s office chair which they will replace coz the previous was torn. The new one was slightly better but not perfect. But am too tired to go shopping anymore. This is so much hardwork. I hate shopping.

We’ll probably have to go shopping for L shape office table for Ed this weekend. And Ken Harte, our carpet cleaner came by to let me sign the check which I issued without signing it. Talk about senior moments. Well, this is one of them. Age is really catching up.

Also, Mr Eloy, the handyman whom Allyson referred us to came by and I asked him to give us a quote on the hanging of pictures, repairing the warped front door which we need to yank at it everytime we want to open it and I fear that one of these days, am going to yank the door off its hinges. Also, need to install a shower door over Sam’s bath tub coz right now, it’s using shower curtain. Don’t trust Sam with curtains coz water can seep out if one is not too careful in placing the curtain properly in the tub. Also, I realized that the shower heads here are fixed and not retractable like the ones back home which makes cleaning the bathroom an ease rather than have to fill up the pail and clean if the shower head is fixed. So, am changing the shower heads in the master and guest bathroom as Sam’s already retractable. Also, need him to hang up our 46” Sony LCD tv in the den area.

No swimming for now as Sam and me don’t have our swimsuits. Only Ed has his. The pool needs cleaning as there are some leaves in there and don’t see Ed being too enthused about swimming or cleaning it. Btw, it was no joke coz we tested the pool to see if it was warm enough for a swim and we put our toes in it and brrr... it was so cold even tho that day, the day temperature was up to 99 deg F. We shall see… For now, just putting chlorine in there and necessary chemicals to maintain it. Just wished the pool was a tennis court, that would have been IDEAL.

The hills around the house is really parched and brown. Hopefully by winter, it’ll be rainy and green again. So far, driving around hasn’t been a problem and I am kinda used to my surroundings already and have demarcated where I want to go shopping and groceries and pool supplies etc.

Still no broadband at home and no TV, arghhh.. life is boring...
