Well, not so much that the whole day was wasted. We didn't get to go to church after all, because we finally got hold of a stump grinder person who could actually come out and do the job, but the time they could come was right during church time, so much for that.
After they finished grinding the stumps, the "wasting" began. We had to go to Home Depot, because when they finished, the fence was in even worse shape, and we had to get some temporary fencing to keep the dogs in. The actual *getting* of the fence did not take long, and we were able to also order our new storm door (our old one was warped by the hurricane)--but we spent about 30-45 minutes shopping and an hour in line. We also had to stop at Walmart for a couple of things. Big mistake. 15 minutes shopping and an hour and a half in line. That's not counting the time wasted in traffic, or the time circling the parking lot looking in vain for a parking space, or the fact that we had to buy lunch again. We left the house at 10:30 and did not get home until nearly 4PM. Before the storm, we would have finished those errands before Noon and been home in time for lunch. *sigh*
Still things are looking up, though, and once we have the money back from the mortgage company--which *should* happen by Tuesday--*crossing fingers*--we might finally begin to make real progress.
