Back to normal

So, Maria and Asim have been back here for a few days. Maria has been really busy setting everything up in the house since I really didn't bother putting much of anything away. Except for my tools. Of course.

Asim is back to a normal sleeping schedule. It's actually better than the 11-10 one that he did before -- it's like, 8 to 7 or so. Sometimes earlier. But that's good so we can actually do stuff in the evening and enjoy the quiet of the house.

Other than that, the weeks are getting colder as we slowly march toward the holidays. We have no plans to leave Nebraska but may do a little bit of traveling come January. I totally forgot how freakin' cold it gets here. It's like, 20 degrees out and then there's a windchill that sticks things firmly in the single digits. Good times. I have been able to forego the flannel-lined khakis since I don't walk to work anymore, but I'm still rocking a sweater every day. The other upside is that I don't have to iron the dress shirt under it. Score!

The flickr photos are somewhat lacking of the new house. It all goes back to selling the camera and ... not buying a new one. I might have to break down and do that before the end of the week since the Vimeo page has like, half-year-old videos on it. If nothing else, you should get videos of Asim running around the empty basement.

Did I mention that Asim doesn't speak English any more? I apparently didn't speak English at all when I was his age either. But, thanks to tv and school, everything turned out sort of ok.
