I may not be around The Dungeon as much as usual this week…& possibly in the week(s) to come…because:

A.)  I’m finally moved in to the New House!!! :turkeydance:

& B.)  Things in the New House are not running as smoothly as one (namely I) might desire. :whereishe:

Nothing major, but the big thing that effects my ability to visit The Dungeon is that I can only get an internet connection in the basement of the New House.  The main internet cable is connected to the desktop computer—which is in the basement…a.k.a. the site of my future office :ridemturkey: ) & the wi-fi doesn’t travel upstairs yet.  Apparently there is a way to get that to happen, but it requires two wi-fi routers & a “bridge”—neither of which I have at the moment. :wishbone:

Soon, I hope, but in the meantime, I only trot down to the basement once or twice a day to log on.  And things upstairs are keeping me so busy, that’s about all I can manage.

So bear with me, please.  I have lots to report & will get to that as soon as I can.  And of course I’ll still try to get the important posts up—you know, Hunk Day & Friday Funnies :gobble: —but you may have to doodle in the dust the rest of the time, until I can get my ducks in a row & smooth out the crinkles of New House living. :killturkey:

P.S.  I may very well re-post this post every few days, just as a reminder in between the fun, pre-ordained stuff.  So don’t be surprised if you see it again.

:mayflower:

Happy Sunday, everyone!  I hope you’ve had a wonderful week…are you ready to share the Ups you encountered during the past seven days? :happytable:

This week, I AM HAPPY that my Darlings of The Dungeon are so kind & understanding that they didn’t chastise me at all for not holding my usual “A Few of My Favorite Things” giveaway for my birthday.  In case you were wondering, I didn’t forget
about it…I just have no idea where any of my things—favorite or otherwise—are right now. :whereishe:  I’m so sorry!  I’d
honestly begun gathering items well ahead of time & even have them tucked into a box somewhere so they’d all be together. But because of this stupid move, & the fact that it’s taking forever, my life is an upside down jumble & attempting to find anything I need seems to be a frustrating game of Hide-&-Seek.

So please forgive me for letting you down.  I will do my very best to hold the giveaway next year—when, amazingly, I’ll be only 29 yet again! :bdaycake: —& if I find this year’s “Favorite Things” once I’m in the new house, unpacking & putting everything away, I may even hold a belated giveaway! :happybday:

On another topic, I AM HAPPY that everything went exceedingly well with the Exede Internet & DirecTV installation.  The couple who did all the work seemed to really know what they were doing; they took their time doing everything right, made sure everything was to my satisfaction, & were just friendly & helpful all around.  Granted, I haven’t used much of either (internet or tv) yet, but from what I have experienced, I think I’m going to be happy with the setup. And I was assured I could call them any time I needed to for help, advice, troubleshooting, etc. :turkeyknit:

I AM HAPPY that I ended up switching to DirecTV, after all.  Again, I haven’t done much with it so far, but from what I can see, I think I’m going to enjoy it.  The day it was installed, I still had to return to the “old” house to take care of The Kittehs, but I started to think about all the shows I record & how I wouldn’t be able to watch them at the New House with the old DishNetwork equipment. :kill turkey:  So I got online, set up an account at the DirecTV website, & started looking around.  Next thing you know, I was setting up all my shows to record at the New House.  They’ll be waiting for me when I arrive & settle in.  Wha-hoo! :ridemturkey:  That’s kind of awesome, if I do say so myself.

And last but not least, I AM HAPPY that Mr. Handyman is as wonderful as he is. :turkey dance:  Honestly, he is just the greatest! When the Exede installer said he needed two holes dug three feet deep for the poles that would hold the satellite dishes…& a trench to bury the wires…& that if I did it myself ahead of time, the installation would not only go faster, but I wouldn’t be charged for it (because he wouldn’t have to put in all that work), Mr. Handyman not only stepped up to help, but he actually contacted the Exede guy to get all the details so it would be done right & insisted on being there when the installation took place so he could help with pouring the concrete & such.  When the Exede guy got there & saw all the work Mr. Handyman had done, he called Mr. Handyman “a beast!” & ended up getting his number so he can hire Mr. Handyman for a few other installation jobs, too! :gobble:  Mr. Handyman is just THE BEST!

So what’s “the best” stuff doing on with you this week?  We want to hear what you’re grateful for & what’s making you happy.  Don’t be shy, we won’t bite…unless you ask us to. :yumyum:

Wait a minute…does Mistress Heidi have competition? Because she will not be happy about that!
