I ran a 5K today! Not the colorful Run or Dye race that also happened this morning, but a free race at a community health fair in Apple Valley. It was a pleasant little run through a nice neighborhood. My time was very close to my triathlon time, which I'm happy with considering how little I've trained this year. (I blame the weather and my baby...and laziness)
On our way home we stopped in to sign off on the drawings for our new kitchen countertops. Earlier this year we decided that we needed to replace our ~20-30 year old counters since they are de-laminating as I type. We're pretty excited about how it is going to change the look of our kitchen
Then, after signing that money away we headed home and the garage door didn't quite close properly. Hmmm. It sure is out of level. And it sure is stuck and won't open again. One service call later and we've got a new garage door being installed on Monday.
Oh, and lest we forget... Some of you may know that we had one furnace failure during each of the previous two winters and an AC failure during last summer. I feel like our HVAC system is taunting us. I'm always thinking in the back of my mind...can it make it through one more winter or do I have to bite the bullet and replace it all?
Isn't being a home owner fun? I'm glad I was introduced to the concept of of an Emergency Fund a number of years ago. Having one doesn't make it enjoyable to replace a garage door unexpectedly, but it does make it easier.
