I really want to learn how to blog via email.  I THOUGHT I had all the settings right, but I’ve sent email a couple times - and so far neither have been posted.   Our home computer issues are such that it looks like we will probably just wait until we move into our new house to get it worked out.  I miss blogging.  I came to my school for awhile on Sunday afternoon to get some work done for school tomorrow, and I’m taking a blogging break.

My life has changed so much the past 6 weeks - and I can even blog about it.  New school - new responsibilities - picking up my granddaughter every morning and taking her to school with me - taking her home each afternoon.  Lots of things to write about - and no computer at home on which to blog. @&*#&^*!!  I would have loved to write about adjusting to a new school.  Some things are the same - regardless of where one teaches.  Other things are different.

It won’t be long till we move into our new house.  We’ve set fall break weekend - October 12-15 -  to move in.  It’s reasonable, and we shouldn’t have a problem making that date.  Here’s a list of what’s left to do:

Get a garage door installed

Get gutters put on the house

Get the hardwood floors sanded and two coats of finish on them (scheduled for this coming week)

Finish the plumbing (has to wait for floors to be finished and for the granite counter tops to be completed)

Have the shower glass installed (all the tile is already done and the glass company has already been out to measure for it.  I think they have a two-week turn-around.  So that’s less than two weeks away from being done.

Finish the heating and air - just putting in the final vents covers.  The a/c has been working for about a month now - and it’s wonderful.

Touch-up walls (a little drywall damage from other work being done - and some touch-up painting)

Get the granite counter tops installed (the granite has been selected, and the fabrication company has been out to measure and make templates.  So it’s now just a wait for them to bring the new counters out and install them)

Buy/install interior door knobs

Finish kitchen/family room cabinets (got to wait for floor to be done before finishing them)

Buy/install towel racks and toilet paper holders

Buy/install carpet in four upstairs rooms.

All the light fixtures except one are in.  All the tile is done.  All the painting is done (except for the final coat).  We have two working toilets, two working tubs, and one working shower.  The oven and microwave have been installed and work.  We had hoped that we would finish the house in 7-8 months.  It will end up being about 10 months from the time we broke ground and started the foundation to when we move in - if we move in mid-October.  However, it’s been a great process.  It’ll be so nice, though, not to drive between the two houses all the time.

IF two other posts about blogging via email happen to pop up, you’ll know that I finally got the email thing to work.
