I got rid of the microwave in the old house, but when we bought this  
house, it was built in and I didn't think it was worth destroying the  
cabinetry to get it out. I use it to heat up coffee in it's mug.  
That's pretty much it, and when I weigh it out against warming it up  
on my gas hob, and then tidying up the pot, I'm buggered to know which  
is more wasteful. I can't wait to have a wood stove in my kitchen, all  
winter long I can just leave the pot on it.

Er, packing? ;   )

Actually, I've been making good head way getting things washed and  
cleaned and organized. Tossing and recycling. I haven't packed the  
first dang thing, though. Moving the girls and me is easy. I am a  
purger. Roy, on the other hand, is a collector and moving his stuff is  
more complicated. I have this feeling that long about the first week  
of September (when I have moved the girls so they can start school)  
he's going to figure out he's not getting fed regularly and trail up  
behind me. ; p

Closing was delayed because the septic failed and they were obligated  
to convey with it working, so.....you know how that goes.
