Talk about an eventful few weeks, I think I'll just list the things that have happened since my last post.
1) Youngest daughter turns 1
2) Have 3 childhood friends come into town to join me on a 4 day trip through the mountains to play disc golf. Amazing time and and incredible food, but cracked my windshield.
3) Come home to find out my wife's car has lost it's AC and the serpentine belt is about to go. Deposit $2000 directly into toilet.
4) Cancel NFL Sunday Ticket after 10 years and skip the new skis I was going to get. :(
5) Get great pick-me-up through an invitation to a night out with some friends and have a great time at a Jazz club. Come home at midnight exhausted yet unable to sleep until 4 am. Discover I have the flu a few weeks before I was due for a flu shot. :sad: Suffer for a few days. (Pics below - maybe I should have stayed on the couch!)
7) Torrential rains in Colorado. Moderate basement flood at night. Clean up. Major basement flood in morning. Some clean up, have to go to work. Wife has to do the rest. Time to replace carpet, some drywall and maybe some electrical work. Sigh.
8) Consider what other expenses to cancel or cut back on.
9) Get notified and discover someone has been using my pics to put up profiles here and on at least a few other sites. First reaction: This sucks! What can I do about it? My second: It's kind of flattering that someone would take my pics when there are so many better looking people out there. My third: This sucks! What can I do about it?
All is not lost though, lots of good things coming up! Tomorrow my wife and I get to go to the Oddball Comedy Fest. Saturday is my oldest Daughter's 5th birthday party. Sunday I'm off to DC to spend 3 (or 4) of the next 4 weeks. Travel pays well for me and should help fix the budget gaps created by all the recent fun.
Lots of good friends to see in DC and since I get to spend at least one weekend there I may have to get out to some new and interesting places. Perhaps Bree will make an appearance on the National Mall and get some museum and monument time in. Hopefully, things are looking up!
All the best,
Bree
