Definitely feeling better than I was earlier.

We got the paperwork sorted out so we’re no longer gonna be on the hook for thousands of dollars for a car whose grill is several feet closer to the windshield than it ought to be. Fuck insurance ghouls. They literally tried to get us on some bureaucratic bullshit about not having a paper that they don’t even require anymore.

House is still half-electricity-less, but I think we found out the burning smell was because the blower motor on our furnace was running 24/7. We turned it off. A problem for the fall.

Aaaand my kids are all comfy for the rest of the week at a relative’s house and we’re getting by with some stuff from the food pantry.

My highlights (genuine):

• A big bag of fresh apples
• Some restaurant style tortillas
• Box of rice
• Some cans of black beans

My highlights (facetious):

• Just so many craisins
• One can of sweetened condensed milk
• Boxed beef stroganoff kit
• Canned green beans from an old lady’s pantry

Thanks for the kind words earlier as well as the offers to help pay for some stuff. I think we’re good for now but I may reach out next week depending on how things go.
