I did a little yardwork over the weekend. My goal is to be slightly better than one neighbor and slightly worse than the other. Somewhere between, “Wow, that yard looks amazing!” and “Well, at least he’s trying,”
Took me a couple of hours to get to that sweet spot on Sunday. Raked leaves, cut down some plants, and put away the patio furniture. I would have helped the neighbor, but he didn’t get started until I was already down and heading for the shower.
The only downside was that I’d recently hit my bad elbow on a towel rack and the movement of the rake fired up some weird and painful nerves in my arm. I worked around it, but it was a little rough.

If anyone heard a loud crash recently near my house, that would have been the sound of my printer being tossed out the second story window. Okay, maybe not, but I seriously considered it.
I freaking hate printers. I don’t print that often and when I do it’s always a hassle. The most recent affront has been every other line not quite printing. I think I could actually format my way around that, but instead I’m just going to run through the rest of the diagnostics that seem designed to waste ink. My printing project is a small bit of text, but it seems determined to be a big deal.

Today was the big office move. We got started a little after 7 and went at it pretty solid until a break for lunch at 11. I helped my boss move his stuff and mine, then loaded up my car for one last trip to get the rest of my stuff. One of my co-workers moved his stuff and the three of us were settled in by the afternoon. My other co-worker will join us tomorrow as soon as his new office is cleared.
It was a lot of work – even though we didn’t have to move much furniture. I’ve got my standing desk going and I think the new space is going to work out well.
Tomorrow we’ll get our students set up and I’ll be taking over the student switchboard. And I’ll need to get caught up from my downtime before my computer was up and running.
I think this is a good move, but it will be weird for a bit. And I’m wondering how long it will take me to remember to go to the new building in the morning.
