Life's "Breaks"

Since I moved into my condo a couple of months ago, my luck has taken a drastic down turn! I don't know what the deal is, but I am WAY past 3 bad things happening!!! Here is a list of what has happened....

Plumbing problems - From the minute I moved in, I have had tapping in the walls every time I turn on the hot water. It is so annoying! The kitchen especially annoyed me, but the plumber kept saying that it couldn't be fixed. After much discussion, they finally cut a hole in the wall and then declared that it couldn't be fixed. So, my builder patched up the hole. After another week, I could not take it anymore! I was complaining about it at Bunco and Connie told me about a plumber she uses who can fix anything. So, I called him just to get his take on the situation. Short story, my builder called him and he ended up coming to fix the problem. YAY!!! Now, I can wash dishes in peace. Today a fix it guy came to repatch the much larger hole the 2nd plumber made and so now I just need it painted.

Thermostat - A couple weeks after I moved in, my thermostat broke. Of course, it happened on Sunday and so I had to suffer through 2 days of 86 degrees in my condo before they were able to come fix it! I had that week off work and in that week, I spent one day waiting for the air conditioner guy and two days waiting for the plumber. Some week off, huh?

Cupboard hinge - The next week, the hinge on the bathroom cupboard in the guest bathroom broke. The builder came and fixed it and now it's good as new.

Car CD Player - I was driving to visit family for July 24 when my CD player broke! I was so sad because the radio was LAME! On the way home, my sister and I listened to the music on our cell phones. I'm glad that we actually had a reason to use that feature. :)

Credit Card - I got a call from my bank saying that I had fraudulent activity on my credit card. I confirmed that I hadn't spend $1.35 at Stephen's Construction and so they canceled my card and sent a new one. Luckily, that happened after I bought my condo!

Car problems - I took my car to the shop because it feels like it is sliding when I turn corners or go over a big bump. It makes me nervous because I don't feel in control. They told me that there isn't anything wrong with it, but I still have my doubts. I do wonder if it is the fact that both of the belts are new and it's just easier to turn? Hmmm.....

Rear view mirror - I was driving down the road on Monday when my rear view mirror just fell on the floor! I have to admit that it scared me a little when I saw it fall and heard the thunk. $5 later, the windshield guys had it glued back on. I had to wait until Tuesday because of the holiday and never really appreciated that mirror until I didn't have it. How can people drive around without it? That truly baffles me.

I'm sure I've probably forgotten something. It seems like every day there is a new "break." Hopefully, things start settling down a little!! Lucky for me, it hasn't been anything really serious. That is something to be thankful for.
