RELOCATING - Hello Sacramento!

So, from out of the rat-race of the Bay into to heart of California. (Where the Governator lives)
The move to Sacramento was very quick, to say the least. We had help to load in Antioch and then others in Sac to unload - THANKS and more THANKS!
Only 2 items were broken and we even had people that helped UNPACK! So, we even have our pictures up! It's great, the house feels like home after a DAY!
The worst of it was our cat, who has never known any other home, howled the entire trip and was car-sick in the carry-cage. Once we got here, with it being empty and so different, it was as if she went "mad" - wild eyed and still very vocal, she found a corner inside a darkened closet and just sat there looking into the corner like a kid being punished. Now, after almost a week and having our stuff in place, she's coming around. Still a bit nervous and liking the place under our bed - she still comes out to say "hi" once in a while.
Monday, upon getting the 'Comcast' installer here, found that there was NO DROP to the house; and because it's underground, had to be brought to the house underground! I was SICK in the pit of my stomach. So, I had to wait until Friday afternoon for them to show and do the "trenching" - but get this; they have a torpedo-tool about three feet long which works it's way underground! Yeah, it took about an hour but it was "shot" under the driveway direct to the tap by the road. It was AWESOME! So then, come to find out, it was going to be ANOTHER appointment to get an installer to come back to hook-up! Which the SOONEST was going to be MONDAY LATE AFTERNOON! ARRRGGGHHHH! - Now my friends who know me, know that I just did it myself and tacked it all professionally just like if I were on a job. I called them and after some begging and pleading - they turned it on for me.
So, here I am - I'm back up and functioning! :)
