Unpacking and random thoughts

I just want for it to be done! It seems like we've been living with boxes for years...ok, months. I've pretty much gotten the essentials unpacked. The kitchen is just about done, the bathroom is done, the clothes and bedroom articles are done. Now it's time to brave the spare-room's maze of boxes, and organizing the storage in the basement. Supposedly, Mike will be hooking up the computer either today or tomorrow. I'm not certain how he'll be able to do that since there are boxes upon boxes stacked on and around his desk.

I need to get out an mow the lawn sometime soon. Our yard is starting to look like the Clampett's. But it's been too hot! Our little thermometer registered 114 degrees yesterday afternoon. It's tucked up under the awning by our back door, so it's out of the sun, but the metal awning probably made it more of an oven since the "official" Chicago temperature was 99 degrees. I think I'll wait until tomorrow to mow the lawn, it's supposed to be in the mid-80s.

Rabbits ate my beans again.

Some creature is pooping on our front porch. We may be putting out a "live trap" to catch whatever it is if we can't get it to stop using our stoop as a potty.
