repairmen

after one particularly damp storm last week, w noticed a leak in christopher's bedroom. it leaked so bad he had to put a bowl in there to catch the water. so. . .i had to contact the builder to have them check it out. our house is 3 years old and we are not the original owners.

didn't. matter.

i contacted one of the salemen at a neighboring office who emailed me a warranty request form within the hour. i then discovered my printer was out of ink.

sigh.

after securing the replacement, i printed off the form and left it on w's office chair to fill out and fax back to the builder. within one week, the remediation team arrived, all 4 contractors had been scheduled to finish the repair. each stated that the builder expected it to be taken care of in a timely fashion. they certainly have.

so that's another blessing. didn't have to draw it out, it's almost completely taken care of.

i stayed at home today, leaving only to take brutus, the pug, to the vet for his rabies shot. he was a good boy, receiving a treat to assuage his wounded dignity after that whole rectal thermometer thing. he was one happy little guy.

after the vet did his exam, he was in a hurry to get back to the vet assistant where he sat quite sweetly at her feet looking up at her with those big, brown eyes and quietly begging for yet another treat.

she was quite the softie. she fed him two more, although she broke them into pieces so it would last longer. he swallowed the first one whole. she was so surprised by that, i didn't have the heart to tell her about when he swallowed victoria's baseball sized poop ball whole. ohhh, that whole thing still grosses me out!!!

i hope i get paid tomorrow, by my calculations, it should be my first short term disability check, but we'll see.
