Wireless drama

So, we are finally moved and in our new house, which is awesome. We're still renting but it feels much more like a home than our apartment did. And it actually costs $50 less a month than our apartment so it's a good deal all around. The movers were a little crazy but it was the first move that we didn't do ourselves so we have decided to overlook the fact that they scratched our table and that our brand new microwave doesn't work quite as well as it did before. This last weekend we got the last of our stuff out of the apartment - there was quite a bit - and Mark is handing in the keys today. So we are officially moved.

As part of the move, I've been excited to set up wireless internet in our new place. Being in a highrise on the 20th floor, there was too much signal congestion at our old place. But ack, what a headache. Largely because of stupid Bell. They always seem to suck so much. I've been on the phone with the help desk on and off all week and each time there advice is less helpful than the last. They don't seem to understand that I want a wireless connection and keep making all these fixes that require the computer is hardwired to the modem. Which doesn't work as there is no phone jack near my desk in this place and there are only a few ways to arrange the furniture here, none of which bring the desk any closer to the phone jack. Anyway, I finally stopped listening and muddled around myself and think I have it figured out. We shall see.

The place, however, is awesome. Buddy is loving it too. He has a backyard which is small but big enough for a game of fetch and squirrel watching. And he can sit in front of the back window all he wants and gaze out. Plus there are now two levels to our little home which means he can get away from Ben if he wants to. Poor Buddy was so excited when we moved in. Ben spent the day at my sister's and didn't come home until 9:00. I think Buddy had thought we were leaving Ben behind. He ran around all happy and crazy and then when Ben arrived he sulked off to his dog bed and stared at us with hound dog eyes for the next day and a half. I tell you, it's a tough life for a dog! :)
