OK Building the new Table

With Mike's help we got a substantial bit of building the new table done.  I had expected that the new table wouldn't actually arrive until Monday, or the latest would be Wednesday the 1st.

Here was the initial set up at the hospice bed so we didn't mount all the cabling and you see it's a bit of a rat's nest.  Later, Mike and I were able to do better with the table that did arrive home a week before expected, and we're trying to reduce the connections between the table and the desktop so it should snap together in about five minutes.

Carlos Johnson and his wife was able to visit yesterday and today from Massachusetts, and this is the very first post I've been able to make from the bed inside my home bedroom.  The ergonomics are still not quite correct, as they are still leaving my back slightly twisted - and this will have to be corrected before I do too much work, or I will have a lot of back pain. It holds a lot of promise though, and already I can easily type a good ten times faster than on an iPhone, and I can see my typographical errors so much more easily.

Julie also arrived this morning and surprised me by just walking in with a glass of milk for my initial breakfast.  There are still a few things to do like get me on a hard wired network rather than the WiFi, but still, this is a very great improvement over the iPhone.

Laura and I were even able to get some bills out like the medical premium.  We'll wait until Monday to get the other stuff out with the co-operation of Michael and start working on ownership transfers and getting the money directly to Laura in the future. Again, I'm still worried to be this close to getting the essentials done, while also being at risk of on food while in bed and not having it all done.

Also, Michael was able to get his leave extended to April 6th, so we have to work fast to get the house transfer all squared away.

However, I also don't think God would have brought us this close without actually getting it all done either. It's all going to work out nicely, and as I've said before, having these small challenges are entertaining in themselves.
