Yay, erin! That is wonderful news.
Sending out all the ~ma to Teppy today.
We left the living room AC on last night, so today doesn't feel quite so icky.

Heard back from the car mechanic -- definitely needs a new a/c compressor, at about $800. Awesome. Cheaper than a new car, though. And they can fix it today.
Still, I just feel like the universe is having a great time punching me in the face. I don't even want to know what's next.

Thrive to spite them
Sorry about the ac Stephen. Hope things slow down.
I spent 3 hours on the phone with Comcast today. The modem probably isn't working. Its theirs and the earliest they can come out is Tuesday. May try buying my own.
I think I talked to four or five different departments before they finally decided it was the modem.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
I am close to tears dealing with Bank of America. We are now in our third extension of the refinance process we started in FEBRUARY, and the whole loan is hung up on some bullshit letter from the HOA attorney about litigation pending (which, for the record, is the HOA suing someone else, so I can't see how it's remotely relevant). Between various appraisals, assessments, and insurance adjustments, we are out over $800, and yet if this attorney doesn't send this letter today, the loan is dead and we've spent five months of stress and heartache and all that money for nothing.
We don't own our own house; this is a little condo in Florida that I co-own with my dad. It's completely paid off, and the loan we are trying to get is for half the value of the property. It's epic levels of ridiculous, and I'm so frustrated about it. The only reason we are refinancing is to consolidate debt, yet at the end it may end up costing us even more without any payoff.
I know this may not sound like a huge stressor, but it's pretty awful.

Pix, money is always a huge stressor. I'm sorry you're still dealing with this.

Because books.
Pix, that kind of stuff is HUGELY stressful. Especially because it can make you feel really powerless. I sympathize completely. I'm sorry.

{{Pix}} They are beyond evil. I'm so sorry you have to deal with them.

Mortages and finacing SUCK. It's hugely stressful. We almost lost our house 2 years ago due to ex-wife lies on non-payment and I had panic attacks for 4 months.
I'm sorry, Pix.

Ugh, Pix, that sounds like an utter nightmare. There's no reason it should be anywhere near this complicated. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this bullshit, and I'm especially sorry that you've had to spend a significant chunk of money on something that may not come to fruition, through no fault of your own.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My dealings with mortgage companies always leave me wanting to scream "What is WRONG with you people?"
