judecorpWe had our first Jehovah's Witness this morning! He rang the doorbell in his nice suit with his Bible and pamphlets and I said, "No, thank you." I think I shall e-mail Coworker Dorcas and tell her that HER PEOPLE have come to see me. :) I feel like we had some sort of rite of passage. First JWs!
We are starting to have furniture and it is a nice change. Jen put together the coffee table and we put the couch in its rightful place and put the couch cover on it. Then she started working on putting our shelving unit together. While she did this, I gave our pellet stove a trial run and it is quite awesome. I had it on a low setting and it made our living room a toasty 71°. Nice. It seems to use quite a bit of electricity (the pellet feeder, the combustion blower, the distribution blower) so I'm not sure how efficient it is - I've heard pellet stoves are very efficient so I guess I was surprised at how much electric power it uses. Probably less than the whole forced air heating system, though. My only complaint is that it's very well contained so you don't get that lovely wood fire smell. Aah well. I envision lots of cold winter nights in front of the stove while watching television, since we will have no money for anything else. :)
Speaking of television, our cable dude isn't coming until Friday. Is there anyone local who watches Survivor who wants us to come over tomorrow and totally harass you? We can't really download the episode because of the limits of Jim.

I am going to tour this pediatric nursing care facility somewhere in town about a potential job. I honestly think the work would be depressing and crazy but that's kind of how I felt when I was going to interview at the homeless shelter and I ended up loving that. So what the heck, I'll go check it out. Maybe Friday morning before the cable guy.
