Oddball Update

Our travel date nears, and so, as you might expect, preparations for said trip have just about reached fever pitch around here.

Odd. My usual “cruise control” pace of living has been tripped up several times today by strange malfunctions that came out of nowhere. And I’m telling you, it’s got to stop.

Life has been a bit of a whirlwind for me as of late. Not that this is necessarily bad; we’ve just come back from a very nice 4-day vacation in Disney World, for example, and I would hardly call that a bad thing.

I’m coming to you from Kansas City (Kansas, not Missouri) where I’ve embarked upon my first business trip.

After a trying start to the week, things have begun to look up for me.

Hard to believe it’s only Tuesday, after how taxing this week has already been. It seems like everything I’ve done so far this week has been met with an inordinate amount of complication and frustration.

Nothing really important has happened in the last week or two — at least, nothing that I could craft a well-structured and thought-provoking article around.

This morning, the first roofing contractor I’d called arrived to draw up a free estimate.

Yesterday, we finally received our “government stimulus check” in the mail — a cool $1,200. In retrospect, I should have realized then that something bad was about to happen.

It was a couple weeks ago when I first realized that this June marks the ten-year anniversary of my graduation from high school.
