The insurance adjuster came out yesterday. Very nice man, but did not have good news. We have paint damage on the rear and side of our house. Our roof must be replaced and we haven't even heard about the car yet. That will be assessed on Friday.
Some very good things have come from the storm. First, it has given our neighborhood a sense of community. People who normally wouldn't speak, say hello when they see that adjuster on your roof. Everyone needs a new roof, by the way. We all smile as we drive around in our pock marked cars because we know we were all in the same storm last Thursday.
I have a new sense of what is really important. We were all just fine and I realized that some of the "things" that were damaged in the storm, were just "things" and I CAN live without them. I am hoping that some of these "things" will defray the deductable cost.
I took my violin in for repair. The bad news is, it is gonna cost a bundle to repair and I HAVE to fix it. I am hoping that I can take the repair out on my income taxes. I asked the repair person to appraise it while I was there. Her ballpark figure was way more than I paid for the violin, so that helped me swallow the repair cost a bit easier. She is also going to repair the soundpost and put new strings on. All in all, the violin was in need of a tune-up and the crack forced me to do it.
Today I am home doing laundry, ironing and all those "things" that Mom's do. I am hoping to continue to recover from my cold and take it somewhat easy today.
