Sort of good news.

So we have finally got the insurance check from the December flood. And we overnighted it to Houston on Monday. Wait for them to process. Send to first mortgage company. Then we will get a cut of the check. All told it could be almost 3 months before we get any money that wasn't already ours to begin with. I am so pissed at how long this damn process is taking. My wife has had to close out a high yield savings account. I have had to take a loan against my 401k. Dammit it is expensive to live when you don't have a stove. Eating out all of the time or if you are lucky it is corn dogs or maybe a burrito in the toaster oven. I can't wait until our house is finished. On the plus side. Now that night temps are finally out of the low teens we can keep the house warm. I am just dreading seeing next months power bill though. Four 1500 watt heaters running 24/7 that doesn't include even having lights on. Oh well. At least we have some place to stay.
