Feb 25

Well, I've had a crummy month, but I'm finally back on track. I weighed in this morning at 340.0. I've got some catching up to do to get back to my 2 pounds per week goal.

I've signed up for my unemployment. I've got to make 5 contacts per week in my job search. I've contacted several recruiters, but have not even gotten one call back for any jobs. Just as I suspected, the market is pretty tight right now.

We had our roof looked at yesterday. The adjuster agreed that we need to have the roof replaced. His appraisal was over $20,000. I guess I'm glad he found hail damage. We certainly couldn't afford to replace it on our own without some insurance reimbursement.

The roofer guy was pretty nice. He has gotten a lot of work from people from South MacArthur that live in our neighborhood. He went on and on about what a good man Jim Hopson is. I agree.

In the last 6 months we have done a lot of updating to the house:

New air conditioner compressor in July.
New paint in November.
New carpet in December.
New roof in March.

Nearly $30,000 total including the roof. Insurance (roof and air conditioner) paid for most of it. We still owe on the carpet. Hopefully, if we have to sell the house, these updates will help it sell quickly.
