Annie42's Dagbog, 30 mar 16

So, Ummm....I'm not going to weigh in just yet. See, uh, the Easter Bunny kidnapped me while I was sleeping, and force fed me jelly beans in the middle of the night; then he dropped me off at the condo just before dawn. The dog dragged me back into my bed where I stayed in a sugar induced coma for 2 days. When I awoke, I felt awful, and thought it was all a bad dream. When I got on the scales, reality hit. And I am so incredible mad that all my guns burned in the house fire, because I can't shoot that darn bunny now! That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

On a good note, we met with the insurance adjuster yesterday, and it looks like they're going to give us the policy limits on the house, and also on the contents. Whew! That content list was a doozy. 109 pages, and I STILL forgot alot! Spent the last couple of days sifting through the last pile of ashes. Found more pictures, but never found my Mom's ring. We found all the books that were sitting on the shelf next to the ring holder. I found my dipping tools and tempering machine parts that were right below that shelf. And, I even found pictures that were propped up on the shelf above it. But, no ring. Guess I wasn't meant to find it. Finally found the remnants of the piano. Hubby had lifted a huge chunk of mass with the excavator, and BOING! There were wire strings flying all over- like bouncy spaghetti. Now that that chapter is closing, and all the ruins can be hauled out, we're focusing on three things: Quotes from the truss companies; fortifying the existing foundation; and raising the ground level by the new entrance. I should say, that's what hubby is focusing on. I am focusing on cleaning the existing stone fireplace, coming up with an alternate exterior for the house (since no one likes my original choice); and then, pricing all the options. yippee. No stress eating involved there, though. So onward and downward with the weight, and onward and upward with a new house! Have a blessed day!
