It's been a hell of a week

1. The mouse stashed seeds inside the oven lining. They caught on fire. The stove/oven is toast. The mouse is fine.
2. The water was unusable for two days. Electric went out during the cold snap and there was backflow. It took two days for testing to prove the water was potable again.
3. We got a call from the US embassy in Warsaw. Don't ask. It's too long a story.
4. The temperature warmed significantly. Bats were out. One made it into my laundry and is wrapped around my washing machine's rotor. I hope it didn't suffer. It's very sad.
5. The van is still dead in the driveway. It has to dry out before I can try to jump it.
6. I had so much going on that I didn't realize I had a show last Saturday. My apologies.


Please let that be an end to the month's calamities.

OMG! Too much nature!

Seriously, that's really too much. But I so admire your competence and spirit.

Thanks for the votes of confidence. The washing machine has been repaired. The stove has been replaced. The water bill is the lowest it's ever been since we didn't use any. The van is still waiting for a dry day. There is food in the pantry and we're catching up on the laundry. Life is good!
