Updates

March 23, 2024 by Lauren 3 Comments

Ha! I am so lazy about this site that I hadn’t looked at comments until this morning (Saturday). Hi, everyone, and sorry.

Let’s do some updates. The coat situation is kind of in limbo. My last response to the company said that I felt the way to make this right was to reimburse us 100% of the cost and send us a mailing label so we could give them back this coat, and they needed to respond within three days. No reply. I officially submitted documentation* to our credit card company about the coat, and they are in contact with the seller. A couple of days later the seller contacted me and said that the best they could do was offer us 75% back on the card. I didn’t reply. I’m supposed to hang on to all our documentation until the beginning of May, when this should be resolved. Who knows what will happen?

In other news, we had our Lenten dinner at church and I was – gloriously – just a grunt washing dished for 2 1/2 hours. Next year the people who ran it aren’t doing it, so we’ll see what happens.

At school, there is a Vast Ant Invasion happening. I am The Adult in the building at the start of the day, so people tell me all the problems and I do what I can to fix them until the right person can resolve it. I set out some ant traps in the school age room and let my director know. She contacted our bug person……. who is out of town. So, every morning I’ve been killing rogue ants and setting out more poison. Actually this is probably a good thing, since the bug person just kills. My traps let them take the poison back to the nest, so maybe we’re getting this at the source. Who knows.

That’s about it for now. Hope everyone is doing well! What are your Easter plans?

* Soooooo much documentation. Like, too much documentation. Like ‘the story of John Harlan and the fake screen repair where he sent us a box with a gallon bottle of water inside’ documentation. (That’s to answer some previous comments. )

    We drove through Sylvania on the way back from Michigan and I briefly thought about finding John and paying a little visit. To hit him in the face with a gallon jug of water.

    I just fell down the John Harlan rabbit hole. Thanks for that walk down memory lane! It was fun – probably because I wasn’t the one dealing with that knucklehead.
