What I'm Reading This Week #31
Good morning and welcome to August. Time is so weird, isn't it. It's insane we're starting the 8th month of the year but yet if I thought back to where we started the year in snow, that seems like a lifetime ago. It's been a very long year yet seems to have gone fast - how does that work? Anyhoo, I hope you're ready to roll for the weekend and the week didn't drop kick you too hard. Once again our HOA was refusing to do their job and wanted to check the drainage. This problem is on our subfloor. ..above anyplace for drainage to be an issue with no gutters above it. Then the woman in power sits on emails all friggin' day and purposely sends things out on her way out the door so another day gets wasted. Oh the things the Mr and I say about her that I can't say here. I was shaking so bad Monday night I wanted to go out and rip the damn siding off myself but we worked out instead to try to work off the frustration. I called o...
It's like there are periods of time where it seems like you get nothing but expenses. But then there are times where money just kind of comes out of nowhere and this is one of those awesome times. I hope it continues, like, forever!
ReplyDeleteYes for unexpected money - we booked a trip to Disney with a travel agent and they automatically contacted Disney to take advantage of a reduced rate. I knew it was possible to do this and it's part of the reason I went through the travel agent. Not sure that is possible with cruises or hotels, but I suspect this is most common with Disney.
ReplyDeleteOne bathroom trip a night for me, and it's usually between 4 and 5:30.
It looks like Thanksgiving found you! I love hiking and seeing wild animals!
A few times I've gotten back deposits that I forgot I'd paid, once my gas company sent me a check because I'd overpaid. Few and far between though.
ReplyDeleteOn a good night I don't get up at all, but I'm usually up once sometime in the night.
Usually up once a night if I am doing the water right. Right around 2am.
ReplyDeleteMoney refunds? Hardly ever.
I've gotten refunds on my homeowner's insurance premiums in the past and that's always a nice surprise. And I've had wonderful luck with the dogs' insurance as well. When Finn had tummy issues to the tune of $600+ I paid it and got reimbursed for all of it except the $250 deductible. I was thrilled. I currently have a claim in for his dental surgery so I'm hoping they'll pay at least a portion of that. That'd be the bees knees!
ReplyDeleteAs for potty breaking in the middle of the night, I'm up multiple times. It seems like every two or three hours. This first week after surgery was really something and I think I went every hour. There must have been a lot of fluid build up in me from the procedure because it was constant. I only got up once last night though around 4am so I felt like I got some solid sleep! =o)
