hectic life

I have now realized that I neglected to blog for over a month. Not completely out of the ordinary for me, especially when I'm worried about something.

Last week my best friend had surgery to fix a potentially life-threatening condition. I spent quite a bit of time worrying about it before hand, but everything went well. She's back home and healing. I ended up making dinner for her family a couple of times while she was in the hospital, which I enjoyed.

The kids and I seem to be passing around a cold. It's rather annoying. Tasmia has been rather needy and fussy, and it's not been fun.

My oven's heating element broke. I called management, and it took them a few days to come out (bad, bad, bad) only to have them diagnose the problem as exactly what I told them it was: the oven's heating element broke. They are now acquiring a new heating element. They did not bring one with them. This is ridiculous.
