I just need to complain for a minute...

This was supposed to be a relaxing summer off for me. I re-start class in a week, and this is the last major break I get until graduation (3 years). On his birthday in late June, DH got hit by a car while riding his bike. Hotel valet driver's fault. The hotel isn't covering it (despite saying they would) - the car owner (who wasn't driving) has to. He will be fine, but has just now stopped having to use bandages. So - I've been dealing with insurance companies. We went to Ireland for a vacation (complete with healing road rash). We had the worst flights ever coming home (10+ hour delay in NYC) AND TSA did some major damage to our Bike Fridays (broken light, shifters, brakes, paint damage, case damage, cable damage). We have filed claims with the airlines, our travel insurance (definitely not worth it - I do not recommend Allianz), and MasterCard. Hopefully someone will pay - but honestly I'm not holding out much hope right now. As soon as we got home, I got sick (gee - could have had something to do with sitting in airports for 10+ hours). It's my last week off, and I can't rest (to get well) or do anything productive - because someone is currently angle grinding out the grout in our master bath - because someone before us skim coated it and it was flaking off. UGH!!

(I do realize I'm lucky and my DH is OK, I have a nice house, and I got to travel at all - but this is kinda pushing all my buttons with stressors at the moment).

Not to mention - I can't even go for a walk to get away. Our current heat index is 116. Boo.
