This week has been populated with both ups and downs, but today, as I write this I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  There were problems with my car insurance (dealt with marvelously), and a potentially horrid problem with my student loans (dealt with not only marvelously, but wonderfully marvelously).

I have no idea what I want to say lately.  Hence, the relative quiet from my camp, hmm?

My friend Eric (blog and LJless. *eyerolls* So behind the times) is over helping me do a whirlwind pack-a-thon.  The movers, one of whom is the son of a fabulous woman I work with — and I work with him too.  He’ll be over later this afternoon and they’ll get all the furniture and whatever [...]

Well, yeah. Ok.. everything is fine now.  We’ve got a new residence — I’ll post updates where necessary.  The ‘complex’ of townhouses that we live in is managed by a bevy of different companies, apparently.  We just happened to draw the lucky straw and get the one that went into foreclosure.

Ding-dong. That was the sound of our doorbell. Shannon answers the door and there is a man from Century 21 standing there and explains to us both that the bank now owns the property we’re currently renting, and that we should not pay rent to anyone who comes around asking for a check.
