Chains of Events<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jacob approaches. At least his due date does. As such, there are so many wonderful things to do to get the house ready for him. Let’s elucidate the current chain reaction that has to occur (NOTE: I use the term “I” to denote Laureen and me in this particular instance. Strange, but necessary to avoid the setting of ups.):<\/p>\n

1. I have to install a new hard drive in the computer.
\n2. I have to copy the contents of the existing hard drive to the newer, much bigger one.
\n3. I have to reformat the old drive to take advantage of its larger capacity that was never usable for goodness knows what reason.
\n4. I have to install a Wireless Router off of the cable modem.
\n5. I have to install a Wireless ethernet card in the computer.
\n6. I have to move the computer to the other room.

\n8. I have to make room for the desk downstairs by moving the double papasan out of the house.
\n9. I have to pull books off of three bookshelves in the office.
\n10. I have to make room in the garage for the three bookshelves from the office.
\n11. I have to decide what to keep and what to get rid of from the bookshelves in the office.
\n12. I have to take the books from step 11 to half-price books.
\n13. I have to move the bed from the room where the desk was to the room where the computer will be.
\n14. I have to move the TV from the room where the desk and the bed was to the new room where the computer and bed will be.
\n15. I have to move the 4 door dresser from the room where the desk, bed, and TV was to the new room where the computer, TV, and bed will be.
\n16. I have to move the buffet unit under the TV from the room where the desk, bed, TV, and 4 door dresser was to the room where the computer, TV, bed, and 4 door dresser will be.
\n17. I have to move the printer from the room where the desk, bed, TV, 4 door dresser, and buffet was to the room where the computer, TV, bed, 4 door dresser, and buffet will be.
\n18. I have to clean out the closet in the room where the computer, TV, bed, 4 door dresser, and buffet will be.
\n19. I have to get a sawzall or other method to remove a built-in shoe rack in the closet in the room where the computer, TV, bed, 4 door dresser, and buffet will be.
\n20. I have to manipulate the buffet into the closet in the room where the computer, TV, bed, 4 door dresser, and buffet will be.
\n21. I have to pay an electrician or handyperson to run both cable for cable modem and satellite system to the room where the computer, TV, bed, 4 door dresser, and buffet will be (in the closet).
\n22. I have to install the ceiling fan from the room where the desk, TV, buffet, bed, 4 door dresser, and printer was in the room where the computer, TV, buffet, bed, 4 door dresser, and printer will be.
\n23. I have to hang the new Snoopy Red Baron fan in the room where the old ceiling fan was.
\n24. I have to paint walls in the room where the old ceiling fan was.
\n25. I have to set up a crib in the room where the old ceiling fan was.
\n26. I have to transform this room into “Jacob’s room”.
\n27. I have to practice breathing and relaxation exercises.
\n28. I have to remember to take my anti-anxiety medication.
\n29. I have to remember that this is going to be a good experience.
\n30. I have to remember that I can ask other people for help.
\n31. I have to remember that Laureen is in charge of a lot of these decisions, and as such I just need to be ready to do instead of worry.<\/p>\n

Oh, all that and go to work, eat, sleep, care for Laureen, care for dog, pay bills, go to church, etc.<\/p>\n

No problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
