Monday, Monday

Today featured an awful lot on the "to do" list and some general chaos thrown in. We are in the midst of buying the house from Mandy and Joel and our loan is in underwriting hell -- you know, when you get calls and emails constantly about just ONE MORE THING they need? Today's "one more thing" included copies of our social security cards, another months' statement from our financial planner, the most recent mortgage statement from Mandy and Joel, an explanation of items that came up on our credit report, etc etc. 

Added to the mix today: my bike, which I just got back yesterday from the bike shop, basically decided to come apart on me as I was riding it, the seat coming completely loose. While trying to (unsuccessfully) tighten it Jasper got into the kitchen junk drawer (which was left open because we were looking for Allen wrenches) and strewed (is that a word? It should be) and chewed the contents all over the floor. 

Accomplished today despite the chaos: A 3 mile run, Jasper scheduled to be neutered Friday morning, email sent regarding boarding Jasper while we're back in Hilton Head later this month, tree guy scheduled to give us an estimate on Wednesday about the tree branch that needs to come down in our yard (it was struck by lightening), Charlie signed up for flag football for the fall and eyebrows waxed. Oh and I went to work somewhere in there too ;-)
