Merry Meet Monday - Witchy News of the Week! (Apr 22 - 28) šŸŒ•

It really is, I’ve had some weird insurance things too. And 1 where they tried to bill my insurance for appointments that were my daughter’s & not me… So that was fun to untangle. Then some others with prescriptions & billing orders & payments. It’s been a wreck this year. Even my providers are like… don’t pat attention to that bill… it’s still pending an insurance response but was automatically generated.

Congratulations! :clap: :heart:

Cheers to quiet weeks! :heart: I hope the weather warms up for you soon. It’s still up in the air for us here :laughing: it’s cold in the mornings but then maybe it’ll hit 60F in the afternoon. No one really knows!

You absolutely need a rest! :clap: I’m proud of you for saying no. That’s a hard thing for a lot of people to do! I hope you get some much-needed rest and self-care :heart:

I hope you have a wonderful week, too! :heart:


Things are going over here for me, I suppose. We’re trying to figure out if the house we bought is worth fixing or not - there’s an issue with the foundation and basement which is causing the house to be not level which could pose an issue in the future, but basements and foundations aren’t cheap. We had a contractor here yesterday, and with the list of things I pointed out to him, he was kind of stumped as to what to do next :sweat_smile: so… we’re kind of in a liminal space with the house right now, I suppose? I mean, it was built in 1920 and the people who lived here before didn’t take very good care of it. They fixed everything themselves and then tried to cover some other stuff up.

Anyway, lots of expensive things happening in my future, I think… not the immediate future, but who knows anymore :joy:

@MeganB oh dear, that’s an issue about the house. Here’s a crooked house in England, built in 1687 in Windsor, had a few reconstruction works done on it,

And here’s an older one, people live in them.

If you love your house and can afford the work, it’s a part of history, the roaring 20s, :person_shrugging:, can it be saved :pleading_face: I’m sentimental about buildings. I hope it works out :green_heart:

I’m sure it can be saved. It’s nothing like the pictures you shared :sweat_smile: but the house has been put together and ā€œfixedā€ like a poorly made puzzle. Now it’s up to us to determine if we can even afford to fix it or if we should just move :woman_shrugging: I have no clue… my fiance has no clue… we don’t know anything :laughing:

It seems everyone is having problems. And the insurance is losing money really. Instead of paying home health to come for a home visit twice a week, I only get one visit. So for the other I have to get insurance to pay for my ride to the doctor and the pay for an expensive specialist to do the same thing a nurse could do. Silly, really.

Well we’ve got a frost warning on Thursday morning, and it’s supposed to be 83 on Saturday. I don’t know what to wear! LOL!

Wow, that’s awful. I hope you’re able to figure something out.

@MeganB I live in an old house too and it’s on blocks (on dirt) so it will never be completely level. We had someone come out and level it a few years ago, and honestly I think he made it worse. My sheetrock is cracking everywhere and things have been flying off the walls and shelves! Of course, my house could be haunted. I don’t mind. :ghost: :rofl: On Halloween I could charge people $5.00 a head to tour my haunted house. My witch room would really scare the sh*t out of them! :joy:

Oh, I get that! It was nice yesterday and now it’s supposed to rain all day today and be cold. I’m over it :laughing:

Thank you :heart: The contractor came back yesterday with his business partner and they have a better and more positive outlook on it now than they did before. A second set of eyes was a big help! Now, we’re just waiting for their email with their quote and prices and what all needs to be done… and I know it’s gonna be expensive!

That makes a lot of sense. Our issue that we’re having is that parts of the foundation are sinking, and there is a part of the house in the front where they turned a porch into part of the living room. The porch used to be on stilts but they poured concrete and wrapped it to make it look like part of the basement…but they didn’t leave any airflow so the contractors think the boards holding it up are rotting because of moisture.

The roof is also sinking in the middle and causing a problem upstairs :laughing: but one step at a time!

It’s nice to dream but I always figure I’d lose and end up buying a Snickers bar instead. At least that way I have chocolate!
