Last night was my first night in my new house and sleeping in my new bed. It felt a bit like sleeping in a hotel but it went well. My bed is comfortable and I didn't want to get out of it this morning. And because of that I didn't really accomplish much this morning. I moved all of my DVDs down to the basement before lunch, just to feel like I did something.

After lunch I installed my new shower head. I am still concerned about the longevity of it due to the materials it is made with but at least in terms of height, it is a vast improvement over the old shower head. Much like the last shower head I changed, this one was pretty simple. All I really needed to do was wrap the threads with the wipe tape stuff that I believe is supposed to create a more leak-proof seal. On my first attempt I didn't get the shower head screwed on correctly, so there was a leak, but it was a quick fix and now it works like it should. As for the shower itself, I like it but it is going to be a bit of a nuisance to clean and dry every day. There's a lot of surface area and a lot of nooks and crannies. I might have to go with a more traditional path and just clean it on a regular basis instead of every day.

This afternoon I stopped by my banks to transfer some money from one to the other, and then I headed to my mom's house. The next several hours were spent taking apart my computer and desks so I could take them to my house. My mom also boxed up some of the random stuff in my office. And to make the most of the trip I through in all of my guitars and bass guitars, as well as my food.

I had stuff in my car, my mom's car, and my sister's rented minivan by the time we left. Once it was all unloaded at my house my mom went to pick up pizza for dinner and my sister went to let her dogs out. I set up the long folding table in front of the couch and we sat on the couch eating pizza and watching YouTube videos projected up on the wall. We also watched part of an episode of Bob's Burgers. It was a pretty nice first official family dinner in the house. And I have leftover pizza, which is always a plus. Even though after tomorrow I will also have leftover Thanksgiving food.

After dinner I spent some time putting my three desks back together and deciding on how I want my monitors to be set up. Before I had my two 24” monitors set side-by-side and the two 32” TVs next to them but stacked on top of each other. Now I think I want to do the two 24” monitors next to each other on the middle desk, and then a 32” TV on either side, one on each of the side desks. I like the look of it right now but we'll see how I feel when I get my computer set up and actually have the monitors turned on.

A while after that my friend and her boyfriend stopped by because they are in town for Thanksgiving. They brought me a housewarming gift of puzzle-shaped coasters, owl salt and pepper shakers, and a notepad and pen for making grocery lists. Pretty cool. I gave them the tour and then we ended up on the couch watching Twitch livestreams and talking about various things. It was a pretty good evening.

When they left I played Terraria for awhile and now I am finishing this up so I can go to sleep. It is after one o'clock in the morning and I'm freaking tired. Tomorrow I want to actually get my desktop PC put back together. Then I want to eat way too much food. I'm looking forward to it.
