For all you patient folks who have listened to me whine, it is only fair to list the major improvements that have occurred in my life. These sound silly, I know, but when you don't have them, it drives you wild.
1) Kitchen chairs. Now that Ramadan is over and we are home at night, it is nice to be able to sit down while eating. Standing was getting old.
2) A table for the television. Now that we can put it somewhere, we will have cable hooked up tomorrow night. Ah! CNN.
3) Heat. Over the weekend, fall came with a vengeance -- rainy, cold, miserable and we couldn't get our heat working. Now it is lovely and warm in our house.
4) Getaway. I went away for the weekend (this will be another blog) and just the getting away improved my outlook. I also bought several more things to hang on my walls so my room is starting to look like something.
At least before the bitter cold comes, this place seems more manageable. The final hurdles will be the internet connection and the work/residence visas which are not yet accomplished. Heck, if they don't get them done, I have to leave the ocuntry in 4 weeks anyway so either way is fine with me!

Karen, I'm glad you finally have some heat! Here in DC it was still up in the 80's until this Friday when Fall finally came. It's been getting down in the 50's, but the leaves are still mostly green.
Frank's wedding continues marching onward, Friday we had an 1 and a half photo shoot session of the families. Kelly is ruling the roost already!
