We are safe. We are settling in. Things are still in state of havoc, but we're gradually imposing order. We have proper furniture ordered and arriving come Friday, we're looking into some paint for my office this weekend, and we are approaching Status: Unpacked - with hopes that we'll unlock that achievement tonight.

Next on deck: Lawn/garden supplies, including but not limited to such diverse elements as a lawnmower and a porch swing; yanking out the carpet in the add-on area and swapping that out for hardwood (will try to get a quote next week); conquering the framing shop and getting some of my copious prints addressed; rounding out the last of the Oh Shit We Didn't Think Of That supplies; and inviting Agent: Daddy down to check out our Unfortunate Master Bath to advise us with regards to the eventual remodel.

Oh yeah. I need to take some pics of that thing. Must be seen to be believed.

But not now. Now, I return to my unpacking marathon. I just didn't want anybody to think we'd driven off a cliff someplace in South Dakota. If in fact they have cliffs there. I don't remember. (It was a long-ass drive, that's all.)

[P.S., the cat is fine. Still a little wigged out by all the empty space - like I said, not a lot of furniture yet - but by and large, she's just dandy.]
