A Fine Balance

So, for a super quick recap in how my life can go disastrously wrong in just a few short weeks:

1. My father decided to move back to Florida.  Unexpectedly. With no warning.  Like, I’m moving!-and one short hour later he was gone.  Fabulous.  Oh, and he isn’t speaking to us anymore.  Why?  Nobody is clear on that one…

2. I now have a very empty, very expensive renovated basement apartment if anybody is the market in Stamford CT.  Yes, the basement renovation is complete!  Unfortunately, that means we paid for the basement renovation…that we now do not need.

3. I do not have a very empty dining room.  Nope, I have the contents of someones entire studio apartment (not mine!) including couches, dressers, desks ect in my dining room.  The neighbors asked if we had moved in yet because in their snooping through the windows, it appears we have a million boxes.  Which we do.

4.  I got into a car accident.  We are all fine!  But the car definitely needs a new bumper.  And the best part?  It was a hit and run.  So we will have to pay our deductible in order to get that new bumper.  Did I mention we just finished construction on our VERY EXPENSIVE BASEMENT?

5.  We have termites!!  Or at least we think we do.  We found 300 of them swarming our boiler.  Maybe they are just flying ants?  Oh the joys of home ownership.  We have 3 people coming out to give me their professional opinions ASAP.

I am super excited to see what fun this week brings!
