Hello, everyone!
Things have been rough here for the last few weeks. We found out our roof has been leaking for a while and needs to be replaced. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to get contractors lined up to do the work. It has been much more of an intensive process than I expected. The first company refused to even come out to do an inspection because the damage didn’t sound big enough for them to bother. Jokes on them, though, because the whole roof actually needs replacement. Then the second company ghosted me after the initial inspection without giving an estimate. Luckily, I’ve finally found someone who has been responsive and professional. So, hopefully the work will get finished within the next few weeks now that the HOA has approved the plans.
On top of all that drama, illness has struck my household. I’ve somehow managed to come down with shingles on my face/mouth and have been in horrible pain for almost a week. If you are eligible, I STRONGLY recommend getting the shingles vaccine. I do not wish this torment on anyone. A few days ago, my wife also came down with COVID. I’m really hoping I manage to avoid catching it, but I think it is probably a certainty at this point. Fingers crossed I somehow avoid that fate.
All of this is also happening while we were preparing to travel later this week to scope out our potential new home. My wife has a site visit for a new job on Friday, and it is halfway across the country. I hope we will be well enough to fly by then, but we’ll see. We and her potential employer have already spent a lot of time and money on arranging the visit. So, it would be a bummer to have to reschedule everything.
All of these things together have left little time for blog posts, blog hopping, or responding to comments. I still plan to post some reviews in the coming weeks and have some other stuff scheduled or started that I hope to get posted, as well. However, I will probably be much less interactive with others’ posts and comments. I will be participating less in memes for the foreseeable future, as well, and posting will probably be a bit slim once the scheduled/planned content dries up. I hope to be back to posting M-F eventually, but I just don’t know when that will be.
That’s all for now. I hope you are all doing well! I appreciate all of the support for the blog and any positive vibes/thoughts you can spare to send my way. 🙂
