Oh, Connie, I'm sorry to hear that.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Trust my rage
And because I need to vent...
I just walked in the house and got a call from our mortgage company asking me if I was planning on making our first payment. I said yes, on 1 Nov. Which is when it is due. They said no, it was due 1 Oct, but has a 30 day grace period. So I could pay them on Oct 31, but then I would owe them again on 1 Nov.
I thought I was going to throw up. I'm quitting my job on Friday and there is no way we have an extra $2K just sitting around. I was actually shaking I was so upset.
Thankfully, I have an amazing mortgage broker who talked me down off the ledge. And showed me where in my paperwork, three different times, it says 1 Nov. So fuck off, motherfuckers...if I can sue for pain and suffering, I will because what they put me through, even if only for 20 minutes, was hell.

Now tagless for your comfort.
That is NOT on, Stephanie! I'd be ill, too! I'm glad you're quitting the hell hole.
Stupid mortgage company!

Jeez, Stephanie, like you need any more stressors right now.
I'm glad your mortgage broker was there to bring in some needed sanity.

Our wings are not tired.
Stephanie, I am so excited that you get to leave that awful firm!! Sorry about the mortgage stress, even for only 20 minutes.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Connie, that's so hard. I'm sorry your sister is not doing well on the chemo.
Stephanie, I'm glad that it was unnecessary hell you went through, rather than the kind of hell that requires coughing up an out of budget 2 grand.

“Not dead yet!”
Oh hell's bells, Stephanie-- that is seriously NOT ON.
Let's hear it for a good, level-headed mortgage broker.

Oh, Stephanie, it's unbelievably mean.
Connie, I'm sorry to hear that. ~ma to your sister.
The most things I noticed were the lack of words
Thanks, meara. And my poor sister. She's going to have very important psychometric evaluations (to get into med school) while she'll be on it. I hope it won't hurt her performance too much.

If I only had a brain...
I just lost a solid month to Topamax; I literally spent all of it in bed. Hate hate hate that drug. It is notorious for causing word-finding problems. For me, it also did no good on the migraines.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Stephanie, I'm sorry the mortgage company yanked you around like that but I'm glad you were able to find the proof that you were right.
Short day due to staying up so late/waking up so late. Hope to go to bed earlier tonight (yeah, I know this is a recurring refrain).
Today was a better day due to two things: a talk with my dad that didn't solve much but at least let me know that he agreed with me on some things, both the good news and the bad news, and the decision finally being made on the raised bed so that I can start gardening next week.
Long night in the kitchen cleaning up after our dinner, but I made a pumpkin pie from a 'Sugar Pie' pumpkin (I cheated on the pie crust, though).
