what's on your list? i am a little exhausted just writing this all out. as is my savings account. though it's an improvement from earlier this year, when all i could think was "yuck" and "get me out" in relation to our condo.

i'm also exhausted thinking about these repairs...getting our homeowners' insurance to cover our sliding glass door took about two dozen phone calls (with me being *very* insistent) to move forward over a month's time, and meanwhile the dishwasher guy and the glass repair people NEVER call us back. is it because it's december? or because everyone is going out of business? ridiculous.
