I wish I could say the house has been back in order for some time, but no, that isn't the case. The construction company did such a poor job post-flood, I finally removed the lock box from my front door last week (preventing their entry) and have decided to finish the work myself. It's been almost 6 weeks since the flood.
I'm not sure where I'd even start in listing the problems, but there were major mistakes and sloppy work every step of the way. I have about 20 pictures documenting the problems because I plan on withholding a good chunk of the insurance money. I will have to call in a flooring pro to figure out why the flooring in Felix's bedroom is still lumpy and uneven.
I chose the company I did because they are a good client of the company I work for. The owner came by two weeks ago to see the problems for himself and offer profuse apologies and a gift card to a local pizza shop. ("I know you're a single mom...") he started. Ugh.

| Kids were free with paid adult at the 5k, and Felix was very pleased to see we had matching shirts. |
In other news, my aunt came to visit for the 5k we always run with the family, and I bought a new car that weekend as well. I had to take the car back in for window tint and a new windshield, and then the battery on my old car died just when I was planning on using it, so I drove my mom's car, then the engine light came on in my new car right after I picked it up, so back it went. So I have moved Felix's car seat more times than I can count in the past 10 days, and I've taken a taxi and a shuttle and hitched rides to the VW dealership, and I think everyone there knows us by name.

| Felix loves riding in "Gamma car!" |
Add to that a kitten with veterinary needs, and me teaching class again, and volunteering for stuff, and Felix's soccer classes..."busy" is an understatement. The house is a disaster and I have lots of laundry and work left today. I'm looking forward to our 3-day weekend coming up so we can head to Baker for our friend's annual Halloween Party!
