Are we having fun yet? I'll explain.
It all began about 2 weeks ago when we had a wonderful high-riser toilet installed in our bathroom, then the one from there was put in the front bathroom because that one was nearly 30-years-old and parts for it were nothing short of nonexistent.
Shortly after those situations, we had to have a new pressure tank for our well. The old tank had rust spots that were ready to blow. New one is fiberglass so no danger of rust hole failures.
Then our microwave went belly up on Thursday. Well, it was nearly 20-years-old. New one should arrive tomorrow. Hasn't been too difficult cooking without it, which was a bit of a surprise. Nice thing here is that we didn't have to pay a thing for it. Had enough Amazon points to get it for free, no shipping and no tax. Therein is the silver lining in this cloud.
In the midst of all this we contracted to have a new roof put on the house. It's a single-story house but it is a BIG house, so lots of roof. That translates to lots of $$$$$$.
If that's not enough, while we were watching TV Saturday night, our air-conditioning system went out. Checked everything we could with no positive results.
The AC doctor arrived this morning and pronounced our system dead, dead, deadsky. That'll be another bunch of $$$$.
I searched our property this afternoon and had no success locating a money tree.
