Somewhere in Middle America

Quick update

Ok, so we're here in Omaha, but we don't have an Internet connection. And I don't have one at work, either. So I'm at a coffee shop in the base of our building. It's taking a long freaking time.

Also, our stuff hasn't shown up yet, either. It's supposed to be here maybe on Saturday. Or maybe Sunday. We've been doing the air mattress thing thus far. Asim is very happy since he's got gobs of open space to run around. The hardwood floor isn't all that forgiving to him, but at least the bedrooms are carpeted. The biggest challenge will be trying to find enough storage space in the kitchen. I think I might have to build some cabinets.

The weather has been really nice. Colder, but not too harsh. Windy as anything, though.

I am loving the five minute walk to work.

More later. Like, about how the movers we had were total dumbasses.
