Oh Crap

First, so much for my hope of minimal casualties in Japan. Now, all I can do is hope and pray that th relief crews can get in and help the people affected by the tsunami and quake. In addition, let's all hope that the nuclear situation is resolved, sooner rather than later, and in a positive way.

As a second thought, is anyone else struck by the similarities between this disaster and Katrina affected New Orleans? You could just about switch the photos in some areas and no one would notice. Just a thought, since this is now a Louisiana based blog.

Now, onto stuff that affects me, since that's what this blog is about:)

GC#1 is not feeling well. I swear, you could just about set a watch by these children. Once a month or so, one or both of them will be ill. Hopefully, it's more sinuses/sinus infection than strep throat which is what my honey seems to think it is.

We've officially hit the sellers of the LA house up for money. Any by money, I mean a lot of it. They've asked for copies of our repair quotes, which is totally reasonable assuming I can get my dumbass electrician to send me his fucking quote. I've only been waiting for 3 days...(taps foot impatiently!!) Even though I've spent a fair amount of money reviewing this home, I'm totally prepared to walk away if they don't put up at least half. I don't mind taking care of the cosmetic stuff, but these are real issues that need to be fixed.

We put the FL house up for rent and have had a good response. Problem is all of these ass clowns want us to replace the carpet. (Shit!) In theory, I don't really mind replacing it. The carpet is pretty old and needs to be replaced anyway. Problem is, this is really going to eat into my cash reserves and I don't want to do that. But the thought of renting the FL house is enough to make it worthwhile. May have to hit my parents up for some cash, and I'm not excited about that.

Hunting for Insurance quotes in the LA house. I don't care what any of the commercials say. Insurance companies do not give a crap about you, or what your needs are.

Later
