A busy day

Well today was a busy day. Tomorrow looks to be pretty busy too. I started the morning early, for me, with a cup of coffee and a little light blog reading.
Then came the work... We invaded my younger son's room and cleaned it. We cleared out the little alcove above the stairs in his room, which has an open wall over the stairwell, and a pull down privacy screen.
Then we moved my primary computer, peripherals and a couple of bookcases full of books into the alcove. This freed up some room in my bedroom, which was a good thing. Shortly after that we rearranged my bedroom.
Sometime around 3:00PM the cable guy showed up. After one of my satellite receivers stopped working almost a month ago my wife and I decided to go back to cable. I've been using Comcast High-speed Internet for several years, including a few years before Comcast bought the unit from AT&T. We've been using the Dish Network for television for a year and a half, and we've had several different telephone service providers and long distance services over the years.
The cable guy was here to change all of that. For less money than we had been paying for several years, they offered us High speed internet, Digital Voice (over I.P.) and the Digital Cable plus-pack. Now I have basic cable in two rooms and the digital cable plus-pack in my bedroom. My older son has the digital cable plus-pack in his room, and I have the digital cable plus-pack with HDTV and a DVR in the living room. I also get unlimited telephone service, including unlimited long distance. My internet connection is also about a megabit per second faster than before.
All of this for about $70.00 a month less than I was paying before. Even after the cable guy left, we still had a lot of work to do. We'll still be re-arranging furniture into tomorrow, but we already like the way things are looking. I've got another hour or so to go tonight before I can actually use the room, but things have gone far better than I expected.
I'm stiff, and tired... a good nights rest after this and then a few more hours to go at it. Tomorrow afternoon, I'm showing someone the Jr. Dragster. They're interested in buying it. The weekend is shaping up to be a good one.
I don't know what it is about springtime, but the last couple of weekends have been extremely busy. I'm amazed that I've managed to even find time to do a little blogging. I've got a bit of research to do for a couple of posts I'm working on, and I'm not sure where I'll find the time for that and the other site updates I have planned.
Still, it's a lot of fun getting all of this stuff done.
