Unpacking can be fun...

Yes, we are having some fun, but are pretty worn-out. It IS coming along. We just went to Mickey Dee's for lunch as another break. I was trying to find a casserole dish to make rice with some pork for lunch. Guess what we're having for supper! I found many other dishes and "stuff" that I'm glad to have OUT of the boxes, but will continue to search for one of three casserole dishes that I'm sure I have in ONE of those boxes! The rice is an oven recipe from when our kidlets were in grade school and having the oven on will be fun! I baked cookies on move-in day, but haven't used it since.

We found our laminate floor to match the rest of our floors, so we can have that in our "master". We are having three painters come to quote the painting and Home Depot will be "available" just a few days after we tell them we're ready to have the floor installed. It will be nice to have the bedroom furniture out of the living room.

We got TV last night, but didn't watch much. We were out for several hours shopping for various items we felt we needed and now I think we'll be able to stay home more. That will help us progrss with the settling-in process. One reason we were out was to open a bank account, but we got side-tracked trying to FIND some meds in the mail before they were re-routed back to PA! Our temporary forward was my attempt to be sure the meds got to our daughter's house since we weren't yet "closed" in NC! (I didn't feel able to send things to an address that wasn't finalized!) We DID intercept the package which contained three prescriptions, one of which was my anti-stress one! Talk about stress! I was pretty upset for a while! We had been all ready to go into the bank, but decided we needed to go to the post office first! It was a PAIN, but we were glad to "catch" the package. It could have taken about a week to get back to Erie and another to get back to NC!

So...I'll end this here and hope to have a better "report" on our being settled soon!
