Thanks! I am actually feeling really good. I knew a down time was coming, but it only lasted less than 24 hours and I am right back up so that is good. I think it is just so hard for me when new things go wrong with the house to just take care of it by myself. The things that have gone wrong in the past, I am pretty good at fixing, but the oven is a new thing and worrying about having to buy a whole new one at around $400, just a lot to think about (although I am really doing well now about saving and compared to last year at this time my bank account is up 10x). I also have never called a repair man because I have so many people in my life who know how to fix pretty much everything that I have never needed to worry about it. Now I have completely this hurdle and won't feel as bad next time.
No word from H, but of course today and tomorrow are his "big" days at work. He has meetings to decide if he gets his way to work with the teacher he wants or if he is stuck. Plus he is planning for next year. I still don't get how he can plan for next year at work, but in his personal life can't plan a week in advance to do something with S and I or even to buy me or his mom a mother's day card and gift.
For me, it is another rainy day, and looks like one again tomorrow too. It is good because my grass is looking great, bad because S and I can't go outside to play. However I am taking some down time at work to look at ideas of flowers to plant around my yard so once the bushes are gone that I want out, I can start planting right away. Mostly I am going to get stuff from my parents so I can focus on buying more grass seed since I am redoing some things to get some more grass, but there will be a few flowers I need to buy and am looking forward to it.
This weekend...Chicago with a bunch of friends/family. This is the weekend of the birthday Cubs game. Not really looking forward to the game part since I can't stand baseball, but it will be fun to hang with everyone and have a day to myself. Also it looks like it will be a nice day.
