Update on the House

See those dark circles? The ones under my eyes? They are likely to get worse before they get better, given everything still on the list to sort out between now and when I leave for BlogHer and BlogHer Business FOUR WEEKS from yesterday. That’s in 27 days, for those of you counting.

Professional Items:

• Finish article with Dr. Sandra Braman, on the privacy issues that came up, both explicitly and implicitly, in the first decade of the Internet’s formal architectural development. (By analyzing the RFCs, for those of you to whom that means anything.)
• Prepare for my panel at BlogHer Business.

Personal Items:

• Hire movers
• Pack everything we’ve been using during the last 1.5 years
• Supervise the painting of almost the whole interior of the new house (started)
• Supervise installation of the new roof (should start next week; the shingles we picked were out of stock)
• Hire electrician to upgrade the 2 prong outlets all over the house and some other things
• Keep trying to get the yard under control and not a scary place where neighbors might lose dogs or small children; also maintain aggressive raspberry eating schedule (underway; harvest appears to be peaking this week)
• Pick up new-to-us kitchen table (today)
• Find and arrange for installation of window treatments for all windows
• Arrange for installation of dishwasher
• Look into insulation for 2nd floor & water pipes
• Acquire new, larger, dresser
• Acquire 2nd TV for basement
• Actually move
• Unpack enough so that everyone is functional before I leave
• Make sure rental unit is clean and empty

Um. I think I should get off the computer.
