Eventful week

A lot happened in the last week and a half ....

The week didn't start too well. Our (only) oil-filled radiator broke suddenly mid-week. It was extremetly cold living in this house with no heating. We considered holding off the purchase of heaters as our future house might have under-floor or ducted heating. At the end, we decided that comfort, even if only for a short period of time, is important so that weekend we spent over a thousand dollars and bought 2 heaters (Rinnai convection gas heater and Delonghi oil heater) in 1/2 hour.

At the same time, Zeb was limping. She had limped and got better before, but this time it looked bad-Zeb not putting any weight on the leg. We decided to bring forward the operation (was going to wait until we find a house fisrt but as it turned out Zeb would be recovering in the new house anyway). We booked the vet hospital on Friday, dropped Zeb off for surgery on Monday morning. Vet called at 11am to say Zeb just woke up, surgery was successful and Zeb doing well. We picked her up on Wednesday night and need to take her back to remove the stitches a forthnight later. The surgery cost nearly $2000. Our second big expense that week.

In the midst of these, we suddenly got a call from the real estate agent about the house we made an offer on some time ago. She said the vendor decided to sell and wanted us to put in a best offer. To make a long story short, after lots of phone calls, waiting, thinking and speculating, we got the hosue! The vendor wanted a short settlement because he bought elsewhere so we will be moving soon! Finally!

I had an one-hour massage, my 2nd one this year, at the first chance I got to recover from all that had happened. We had a busy week but all is good.
