Some Good News
Actually, quite a bit of good news. We cleaned out my storage building today, and got a lot of stuff over to the house. We’re still not in, but it won’t be long. And I could sleep over there if I wanted to — the beds are made and the kitchen and bathroom are functional, […]
Make a List!
Still going through receipts and mental pictures of the rooms of the house to complete the lists of things taken. *** Word to the wise: MAKE LISTS of your things and keep them in your safe. Update them at least once a year. *** Need to find the photo albums and warranty books to make […]
Life Moves Along
It’s funny how life keeps moving, even after violent upheavals. While I’m still dealing with the aftermath of the break-in, things are pretty much back to “normal.” “Normal” meaning that I get up in the morning, get ready, go to work at 8, get home at 5:15, fix dinner with Mom, eat dinner, help Mom […]
The Fallout Continues
Now I’m really mad. We finished up going through the house today, straightening as we went. Finished up in the room that was trashed the worst — my bedroom. The thieves literally yanked all the drawers open and scattered things all over the room. Mom and Grandmom came over to help me face that mess […]
Aftermath
Yesterday was insane. First, I have to thank God that I have the kindest, most understanding employers on the planet. When I e-mailed my supervisor and my three principals (at 6 a.m.!) to tell them that I would be in early in the morning, but would have to leave for an unspecified amount of time […]
Robbed!
We’ve been remodeling our home this year, and we’re almost done. We started moving things back in about a month ago, and we’ve been putting things away gradually, as we finish the “punch list” of items that still need to be completed before we can fully move in. I go by the house every day […]
Thank Goodness!
I ran out of checks today when I was paying the bills. Normally, this is not a problem. I go to the safe and pull out a new book of checks and I’m back in business. Only there were no new checks in the safe! After a moment of sheer panic, I thought, If ever […]
Gevalt!
I’m sick. I don’t mean just “ugh, I don’t feel all that great” sick. I mean, so sick I’ve been in bed since 7 p.m. Wednesday, with a brief attempt to go to work Thursday morning and a trip to the doctor on Thursday afternoon being the only times I’ve been up until this evening. […]
The Fight Goes On…
If it isn’t one thing with my X, it’s another. Right now, there’s tension on two fronts. First is the ongoing battle about the correct amount of child support. He got a new job making double what he used to make, and his lawyer claimed that he only had to pay $20 a month more. […]
Busy Season
It’s a busy time of year, with me in rehearsals for the church variety show, son #2 in soccer with practises and games, both sons in choir, me in bells (trying to see if I can handle it), and work and school. I wasn’t home last night and won’t be home tonight or Thursday night. […]
