state of the house, part VI: "don't ask"

I haven't posted in about a month because we moved out of our apartment on 12/29 and have been in a hotel ever since. Our desktop computer which contains my photo software is packed up in our garage somewhere, or in the storage unit on our driveway. Anyway, I have no means to upload new photos here of Christmas and such until we get settled into the house, which should occur in the next few days and then I'll have some catch-up to do here, which I'll add to my ever growing to-do list.
