the moving hustle
Dear readers, I apologize for going silent for so many days. This is shaping up to be a most extra-ordinary week. Mister Ant and I have been painting ($100 for paint and supplies), packing ($25 for boxes), and preparing (signing up for a security system monitoring contract) for The Big Move on Saturday.
I have also been on the phone a lot, again, calling plumbers. This leak in my living room ceiling looks like it’s going to require major work [read: cut into my emergency fund by at least a thousand dollars]. I’m getting second and third opinions from plumbers. I’ve also been on the phone with my insurance company to see what they’ll cover. This issue won’t be resolved until the end of the month. I was bummed about it before, but I’m okay now. This. Is. What. Emergency. Funds. Are. For.
One good thing: my best friend and her family offered me some free furniture. I’m going to take a look and see how much money I can save, at least in the short-term, by taking her up on her offer. With any luck, I could get several rooms’ worth.
