Annoying things:
- (Much) more complicated plumbing repairs than expected -- leading to a much larger than expected plumbing bill (And the work is not done yet...!) :p Plus...! (see my next point):
- A message from the condo corporation notifying us of a special assessment (payable in two installments) to help cover roof repair costs plus the anticipated replacement of our rooftop "chiller" unit that provides air conditioning to the entire building.
- (Me to dh: "I guess it's a good thing we didn't plan a big trip to Europe this fall after all...!")
- Waiting for a callback from the plumber to schedule the rest of the work we need to have done.
- Back-to-school/off-to-college photo overload this week (with one exception, below ;) ).
- (I know I'm repeating myself here from recent previous posts.. let's just say I'm still working out my frustrations...!)
Small pleasures:
- A DRY, DRIP-FREE shower floor!!
- Back-to-school photos of LGNephew #1 (Grade 1!!). :)
- Seeing a photo of my dad together with all of his remaining brothers & sisters (my aunts & uncles), celebrating my uncle's 90th (!) birthday. :) (The oldest brother/uncle died a few years ago in his early 90s; the remaining five siblings range in age from 78 to 94!) (My dad, at 86, is the YOUNGEST brother!)
- A bit of "me alone at home time," while dh helps Younger Nephew & family move to their new house. (Nice to have, once in a while...!)
- Catching up on my reading for one of my book groups (and looking forward to squeezing in afew books of my own choice soon...!).
- Nearing the end of a project I've been helping an old friend with, on & off, for the past few years. She's so excited, and I'm so happy for her. :)
- Warmer (but not hot) weather. (Balcony door is open!)
