Finally!

Our computer is finally up and running and our internet is working as well. Cox Cable was here for 4 hours tonight; the guy came out again without the right parts and we had to go to Home Depot to get face plates and some other miscellaneous items. We obviously don't plan on paying for installation when we had to make a part run ourselves.

Our other exciting news for the day is having a brand new dishwasher and disposal installed. Life can now proceed as normal. I've come to decide that a disposal is more of a necessity than a dishwasher. If you have to hand-wash dishes, it goes so much faster if all the food can go right down the drain. But the dishwasher is nice, too. The installer did a really nice job finishing off what little usable space was left between the dishwasher and the kitchen door. It's really only useful for cat food or cookie sheets, but we can't afford to waste any space.
