Sorry I haven't been around much, life is smacking me down in multiple ways lately.

The mold saga in the new place continues and it's too huge to describe here. One example would be that after being told that I'd need to stay away for about 4 hours by 8:00am on Thursday, at 7:55am Thursday, the mold guy arrived and informed me that I had to vacate for at least 24 hours.

I allowed that allotted time to pass and returned to discover the remains of the kitchen in a heap at the front door with a note that reads, "Do not enter for any raeson" [SIC]

In the meantime, my hard drive crapped out taking with it the contents of my entire life. Fortunately, it was replaced for free by way of a responsible company that knew about the possibility and took responsibility for it. Now I have the decision to make of whether my lost data is worthy of an expensive retrieval. Oy!

So, my mood is in the proverbial toilet but I'm doing my best to stay calm and thankful knowing that it could just be so much worse. My lawyer will be amused to know that the hotel bill just went up a whole bunch.
