The black plague has descended

Hello everyone! Has it really been almost 2 months since my last post? Life really has gotten the better of me. We are so busy these days, that I was complaining to Mr. Nascar just the other day that we never see him anymore. “But it’s football time, honey” is what he responds.

Things that have happened in the last two months:

1. Mr. Nascar has gently reopened his moving business. His old roommate really did a number on his once stellar 5-star rating. He has reduced his rates and his travel fee to attract customers. So far he’s had 3 jobs. Two have made the time to go back to the website and leave him a 5-star rating. The other lady, well she said she would, but she hasn’t yet.
2. Bert© successfully graduated kindergarten and started 1st grade at a new school.
3. Bert© my darling baby girl had her 6th birthday at the end of August. We had a bowling party and the kids had a blast. She got her metallic-pink Nintendo DS and was promptly grounded from it the following Monday as a consequence for bad behavior at school.
4. Mr. Nascar started working utilities for the Comcast Friday night high-school football game of the week.
5. Bert©  and I go camping for the long weekend!
6. Mr. Nascar and I find out that Bert© has a boyfriend!! They hold hands as they walk down to their afterschool care every day.
7. Mr. Nascar starts working utilities for the college football team. 5 of their first 6 games are home games. We’ve got 3 games down.
8. My laptop computer bit the dust. Frankly I’m pretty PO’d at the way HP and their “representatives” have treated me. I can’t say too much more about that at the moment. I’m struggling to deal with my desk top computer at the moment, which is slow and cumbersome.
9. Bert© started girl scouts! I’m hoping to go sometime this week and pick up her uniform. Her 2nd meeting is tomorrow evening.
10. Bert© started Catechism classes at church, Wednesday evenings will be a late night for her as well.
11. Bert© is no longer an only sibling. TheEx and his wife had their baby on Friday. Right now that is all that she can talk about. I promised to take her and let her pick out a little welcome gift to send to them.
12. Mr. Nascar and I are actually house hunting. We haven’t found anything we’ve liked enough to put an offer in on, but we’re looking.
13. I am sick. I have the regular flu. I just spent 90 minutes at the doctors office this morning. I’ll be off work for the next little while as I’m contagious because I’m still having a fever. I have a terrible cough as well. The doctor has prescribed antibiotics because she didn’t like the way my lungs sounded.

That’s about all that I can think of off the top of my head. It has been a very busy couple of months. I hope all of you are well. I’ve missed you!
