The last few days have been rough, to say the least. Our realtor called with the news. At our NS house, we ran out of oil. No heat, and the temperature outside was the coldest it's been all winter. Frozen pipes, frozen pump, frozen everything.
We are also very low on funds. Thanks to family and friends, we're going to get this fixed and keep ourselves fed.
Red Fox went over to the NS house to investigate the damage. My step-father also went to help, and to monitor the electric heaters. The plumber went in yesterday, and is going back in today to try to get things up and running again. I really hope there isn't much damage, but my step-father reports that there is nothing leaking yet.
My dad is going today and will be spending the night. We're heading over tomorrow after work.
There have been a few bright spots throughout this mess though.
The day Red Fox went to NS, Little Fox and I stayed here and had a mommy-son day. We played lego, watched Gnomeo and Juliet and played his video game. We read most of the books we got from the library and coloured a picture to mail to Little Fox's friend in NS.
Also, yesterday was our niece's 13 birthday, and she had a basketball game not far from our house. So we went to watch. Her team lost, but they did a great job holding their own against a team that is bigger and more experienced than they are. They were even in the lead for a bit, and it wasn't until the last few minutes that the other team got any kind of real lead. Anyway, Little Fox had some fun playing basketball with J, and playing angry birds with S. It was a really nice outing for us, actually.. a nice way to get our minds off of frozen pipes and to actually cheer for something!
Tomorrow Red Fox has 2 job interviews. Fingers crossed for those.
After that, we're heading to the NS house to deal with that, and to do some painting to get that sucker sold.
