Housewifery

Still unemployed although I've some promising leads so we'll see how that goes. In the mean time I have been doing a lot of laundry and working on my crafting projects. Today, for example, I dyed silk! Other than not having a job things have been going well -Boybee is enjoying his job, the weather's been great (two days of rain were sorely needed), and I've been getting to see my family a lot which I really appreciate.

While I love the rain, it's been showing me how many little leaks our house has :(. Our patio flooded yesterday after a torrential downpour and water got in through the basement door. We also have two small spots on the basement walls that are leaking. It's no good. To top it all off it turns out that the repair we had in the contract on the house (one that needed to be made for us to buy the house) was not actually made. The previous owner just slapped some fresh caulk on and said she'd fixed it and we'd have had to have taken it apart to check so we believed her. Not Cool. The bright side is that we can live without the repair as long as we are careful and we wanted to do a full overhaul of the area at some point any way... some point being in a few years but oh well. We planned for a bunch of repairs on the house and so we're not in hot water (oh yeah, we need a new water heater thingy too - at least that's covered by the warranty!). Oy. The joys of home ownership - at least our house is really cute and we love the location.
