Been noticing low to no water pressure in my home, so I called up my home warranty to get them to send someone out. Paid my service fee. Never get a call from a contractor about coming, so I have to reach out to them. They tell me they called and no voicemail was available, told them I answered every local call since putting in the request and my voicemail is set up and receive non local voicemails daily. Excuses, they schedule me for like a week out. They finally come and the thing that was thought was bad was bad, but they have to do a bunch of prerequisite work before doing the repair. Home warranty doesn't cover access costs, modifications for access, and any new work that needs to be done due to local, state, or federal codes... so I get to pay $600 out of pocket (that includes my service fee) to get the work done... and it sounds like they might change their mind and not cover anything because the part they do cover is located outside of the foundation of my home... which I'll fight tooth and nail because the contract definitely says nothing allowing them to decline that.
In general I've been having a shitty time lately. My car started having check engine light stuff right before PAX South. Decided to do the repair myself because it sounded easy. Went to get the code cleared and the code didn't go away. Tried another repair. Looked easy. Was a royal pain in the ass and hurt my arm, not too badly, but it felt like it was bruised but doesn't look bruised. Went to get the code cleared, waited on purpose so I could get a different person to clear the code this time. Code went away. Occurred to me that the person who cleared the code the first time didn't clear the code at all, so the second repair was likely for nothing.
Stray cat appeared outside my house and kept hanging out because my wife was giving it attention. Adopted the cat and had tons of vet bills. Can't keep the cat because our cat really doesn't get along with it (like kind of violently doesn't get along). No clue how we are going to get rid of this cat, but I'm sure it's going to cost me more money.
And before the car/water stuff occurred JJgames started the process of going out of business so I bought a shit ton of PS1/PS2 games. And I've gotten into collecting PS1 which I really didn't want to start, so I bought a bunch of PS1 games.
Edit: Plus timing has seen us having our annual doctors appointments and new glasses and contacts. Kid had allergy appointment and bloodwork done. Dentist appointment which might turn into dental work.
And I can't even do my taxes because there is always something that comes last minute tax wise.
I'm just hemorrhaging money lately.
