How in the world did we get by when Derek and I both were out of the house during the day? Since we have been back from vacation, we have had:

*A fella come to fix the microwave
*A plumber
*The chimney guy to (hopefully) fix the leak in the ceiling in the bedroom
*The HVAC folks to repair the air cleaner that we got when we replaced the AC in May
*A whole team of dudes replacing our roof today

We're broke now. Really.
