Further moving-in progress

Major good thing: we now have an air conditioner. We ordered it on Amazon, it arrived late this afternoon, and cattitude installed it in the bedroom window. This is a small air conditioner; if we decide we want a larger one for the combined living/dining room, we'll need to pay someone (or some two) stronger to get it up the stairs and into the window. But just air conditioning the bedroom makes a big difference on hot days.

Minor good things: We have unpacked more books.

Minor not-so-good things: I decided to try vacuuming the porch, and discovered that a piece of our vacuum cleaner is missing. For values of "missing" that might include having been randomly packed into a box labeled "books" (as I think and hope my old external backup drive was), somehow put away in the attic without our noticing, or never unloaded from the moving truck and long since lost. OK, I guess we keep sweeping for now, and worry about the rugs later.

We set our printer up, and tried it first as a photocopier; it seems to do okay in black and white, but not in color. I don't know if this can be fixed with careful shaking and/or replacement of the color cartridges, nor whether it's worth trying rather than getting a new one. (I haven't needed to print much since we got here, and have been using the library, which lets me send a print job from my home computer to their printers for 15 cents/page.)
