If it wasn't for bad luck.......

Wednesday: Discovered that the deep freezer in our garage had tripped a breaker and had been off for probably 24 hours or so. Didn't discover this until everything in the deep freezer was smelly melted mush.......

Also on Wednesday: For some reason, the US Postal Service is not forwarding our mail. And we're pretty confident we did everything we were suppose to.

Monday: The garage door opener came apart from the actual garage door. As of Thursday, we still need to get it fixed. We were only able to fit our cars into the garage to park on Sunday.

Previous week: My well-meaning father-in-law set off the house alarm.

Also: discovered a nest of nasty, pooping black-birds just above our deck.

The week before: moving our four-prong dryer into a house with a three-prong outlet. Replacing the cord probably took 2 weeks. Really.

Also: I broke the lawn mower. Really. I mowed for 5 minutes, and I've been mowing big eastern Kentucky lawns since I was about 13 or so, and broke the lawn mower.

Also: Realization upon moving in -- "Huh, we have a lot of books and no bookshelves in this house." (House 1.0 had built-in bookshelves. )

Also: "Where's Cho? (the cat)" Cho had managed to squeeze her way into the insulation of the house, in the scary, unfinished storage room in the basement.

Stay tuned. I'm sure the adventures are just beginning!
