• And The Shits Just Keep On Coming

  I will have to make this post about as fast as I can in summarizing the past week. Unfortunately, things have gone from bad to worse. As you might recall, there was a storm that damaged the house last weekend. Although we are in the midst of a drought, I know it is only a matter of time before it rains again so we are essentially against a clock to get the house repaired before the next major rain, even if it doesn’t happen for a while. I’m not wasting anytime trying to get it fixed; the claims adjuster from the insurance company was supposed to call within a few days of the claim being placed (it was placed on Saturday June 30) but I started contacting contractors to have them come out and give quotes. I fully expected that the claims adjuster to at least contact us last week, but with more than half the country having damage from either storms or wildfires, he did not call until yesterday and won’t be out until Wednesday. Thsi means it is very likely that the house won’t be repaired for at least another two weeks and probably closer to three. And that is just me guessing here. For all I know it still might not be for another month.

  As if that wasn’t bad enough, we have been having frequent outages with both the Internet and the power. Friday the power went out for a few hours during the day, however I was at work so it was not an inconvenience for me. This morning however, it went out again for a couple of hours. It is back on now but for how long?

  The internet connection stopped working Friday and did not start working again until just a couple of hours ago. Comcast said it was because of the weather. Right now it works, but again, for how long?

  Oh and my work trip to North Carolina which was supposed to be today got delayed and it will not be until next week.

  That’s all for now, gotta hit save before I lose connection again.
