We’re still sorting the house out while we adjust to having another person in it, and also new items. The most recent of these is a dishwasher. We had a dishwasher in the house when we moved in. Though it’s been the bane of our existence. It doesn’t clean things properly, it gets infested with [...]

We actually started Kiddy’s bio four days ago but it’s taken until now to finish because we’ve been so slow with things. The flares are finally starting to ease up thanks in major part to the chiropractor appointment that we had yesterday and also stabilizing thanks to being back on our medication. It turned out [...]

It’s a scary thing having our financial future mapped out over the next few months to see the state of our affairs, but at the same time it’s good, it should prevent us from having a major overdraft again in the future. We’ve been sorting out things out financially as well as we can. Rearranging [...]

I wonder if I can set up something in my brain that’s like a KVM switch to try and turn off the negative feelings. I tend to spiral out of control with these things. I raced down to the bank this morning and deposited $20 hubbie had found in and around his dresser left over [...]

I’m so mad right now. You may remember me saying we were having some issues with the bank? Well, there’s more. Yesterday after the person on the phone reversed the second overdraft charge he said they would. I was assessed two more which he’d warned me about. He told me those would be the last, [...]

I’m still trying to adjust to having the computer back and having floor where there once was a gaping hole of concrete. We can’t mop that area of the floor until Easter to make sure the grout has had time to dry, which is driving me a little batty. I know that this doesn’t mean [...]

We’ve been having some issues over the past week, once again with the sleep disruption and just feeling more than a little drained and tetchy, it’s been a bad combination of things. The lack of computer with it’s prospects of “ruining us financially”, Max working through some rather sticky issues, and that certain time of [...]

We’re finally going to get the tiling done in the house! I’m so excited. It has been irritating me for a while that the tile was not fixed, but especially with the prospect of another friend moving in and renting from us it was decided that the tile had to get done, because it’s just [...]

The munchkin got very upset on Sunday because we took down the decorations. He kept insisting that it was still Christmas and we shouldn’t take the tree down because he wanted more presents, even though we’ve explained to him many times that just because the tree was still up didn’t mean that we were going [...]

We’ve spent the past two days working on the clean-up and making a lot of headway. It’s really helped us to have a chart listing what is the priority and which order we’re going to attack things in. It’s made a horrendously huge task manageable. Hubbie’s been working the past couple of days and again [...]
