- here’s a good news/bad news for you – my laptop died, appx 3 weeks BEFORE the warranty is out – how often does that happen? We’ll see if it is covered, but ugh!
- My current projects were safe and secure because of my online backup! Down time was minimal as I shifted things to the kids’ computer. Although I did do about 30 pages that disappeared as soon as I closed my indexing software. Apparently I was working with the temp file, so I did loose a couple of hours or so.
- Wood rot is being repaired – so far an additional $500 worth of damage has been discovered, sigh. Can’t wait to see what the final bill is! NOT. Right now the total is about as much as we paid for Eric’s beloved (but gone) 1972 Cutlass. Eric says the Cutlass was more fun than having the wood rot removed. I’d have to agree.
- Today a man crawled through my window and the watchdog (Diesel the bunny killer), ran up to him. To protect us you ask? No to lick him in the face and ask to be rubbed. The man was on the wood rot repair team, so I guess they are allowed to crawl through the window to tell you they are leaving??? But WTG watchdog Diesel! We’re so proud. And just some background, Diesel had been locked upstairs all day, so had no idea that there were men working on the window.
- Took the kids to Deanna Rose Farmstead today, where Lydia was bit by a duck. I don’t blame the duck…have you seen Lydia’s fingers? They do look like duck food. She also got to pet lots of goats, and was licked by a couple, and got to pet a baby cow. She was not traumatized by the duck bite.
Not from today, but snippets nonetheless…
- Had a LOVELY visit with Eric’s brother and his family. The girls LOVED having their cousins here to play with on Friday and Saturday. We can’t wait until they come back.
- We adopted an iguana from one of Jess’s friends. Eric is in love. I’m not sure how the iguana feels.
- Tomorrow we go back to the dentist to have that tooth extracted from Allison’s mouth. Wish us luck.
- I have been swamped with work. Trying to earn enough to pay for the wood rot repair. I turn in the last of this rush of projects on Wed and was looking forward to a wee bit of down time, but as of now, that downtime has been eliminated, as once again, I have four projects on my plate. How quickly one can go from busy to not so busy to swamped again…All in the blink of the eye…although I really don’t get to experience the “not so busy” much…I just anticipate periods of being “not so busy” but something always happens just as “not so busy” comes closer.
That’s great that you didn’t lose all the info on your laptop! Bummer that work is building back up on you – but at least you’ll be able to cover that wood rot, right?
