David got up on the roof and replaced the missing shingles. He also sanded and primed the office walls and ceiling, and bought the lavender paint for the office (the Home Depot here has been out of the right base for a week).

Max watered the neighbor’s flowers.

John dug up the front garden, put down a ton of new topsoil, and filled in some holes between the concrete stoop and the grass. He also held the rope while David was on the roof, took a bunch of bulky trash away to take to the dump in the morning, and took Max overnight.

Lin unpacked all sorts of things and got the living room into livable shape. She even put all my CDs into the CD cabinet. And I found the pegs that hold the shelves of the DVD cabinets, so she was able to unpack DVDs and put them on said shelves. Those two things emptied about four boxes and made it look far more like we live here.

A nice man from Freecycle came and fetched all our leftover packing paper and something in the neighborhood of seventeen empty flattened boxes. I do so love Freecycle.

I worked. And made plans to go to Roanoke tomorrow night then come back up here with parents in tow on Wednesday. Because my uncle Russ died, which we all knew was coming, and the memorial service is Wednesday. They’re already on their way up from Florida.

I put the booster seat in my car and tried it out with Max in it. He’s definitely tall enough for it. He found it very odd that the booster wasn’t attached to the seat, but using a “grownup seat belt” seems to be something he likes the sound of.

We had lunch at a place called Tom’s Diner. Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da.

I replaced the thermostat.

Oh, and I turned in the large checks and simple form and numerous keys that make the following statement true: I no longer have an apartment.
