Well, so much for my promise to do better. Sheesh! Well, the last month has really flown by. I am finally all moved in - but not unpacked, sadly. I have been sick twice in the last two weeks, including right now, and to be honest, I haven't really had a "happy" moment in the house yet.
Of course, some things are falling apart - my gutters got fixed so there is not a waterfall down the side of the house, but while up there, the gutter guys said that my porch roof is in REALLY bad shape. I got a roof guy to look at it and he said he could fix it for $2,100. Whew! The garbage disposal is broken and when my dad went to replace it with a better one, we found that when they renovated the kitchen, they hard-wired the outlets and the disposal directly into the main line of the house, which means the electricity can't be cut to those things. That makes changing the disposal difficult without getting electricuted. Huh. If I hear one more person say, "Welcome to the joys of home ownership," I might scream.
I'm still unpacking and yet trying to stay on top of my work for school, trying to manage my health, and to be frank, my sanity! I also found out this week that I am a victim of identity theft. Really? When are things going to start settling down? When am I going to feel settled? At what point is the drama going to end? I'm getting a little tired of it. I feel like I've literally had 3 months of pure stress and I need a vacation from my life.
I keep reminding myself - one day at a time. Sometimes, it just feels like words.
Anyway, I hope everyone out there, forgives me for my absence, hopefully things will be turning a corner soon!

Oh H, you're in my thoughts and prayers. What a time you've had of it. I'm so sorry that it's been so full on recently. I hope you get a break soon. Sending you hugs.
