I have spent most of my time since the snowpocalypse dealing with the fallout of the snowpocalypse, and have made minimal progress other than getting running water restored to my house. Every single repair and insurance issue involves extremely time-consuming errands which inevitably conclude in being told that I need one more thing involving another extremely time-consuming errand which concludes in being told I need to do another extremely time-consuming errand...
On the plus side, only two of my saplings (the pear and a cherry) were destroyed. One was severely damaged (the plum) but will probably survive. The others were all damaged to more minor degrees and I think will be fine. The bulbs I planted pre-snowpocalypse are starting to come up.
My phone is still broken. I spent ages being sent around trying to prove my warranty, but when I finally did that, I was informed that the warranty does not cover damage to the physical structure of the phone. So now I need to take it to a regular repair shop.
I got three different diagnoses on my non-destroyed car by three different mechanics, which does not inspire confidence. (This is for the engine issue, not the cracked windshield (etc) which is also still not repaired.) I finally took it to the dealership in the hope that the warranty would cover it. After the inevitable ages spent dealing with that, I was told that they warranty did not cover it as there is nothing wrong with the catalytic converter itself. Apparently (God I hope this is correct) the actual problem is that some of the essential hardware around the catalytic converter is missing. Their theory is that someone tried to steal the catalytic converter, but was interrupted!
Needless to say, attempted theft is not covered by the warranty. But at least it's an easier and comparatively cheaper repair than replacing the catalytic converter itself.
But! On the plus side, while all that was going on, I FINALLY finished Defender Chimera!
