I'm doing revision of paperwork storage because we needed to find the name of the disability lawyer, because we got a letter from the organization managing the medicare saying "BTW, we need $30 a month towards that extra pull you're doing on your benefits or you're going to have to put up a lot of upfront money. Sorry, didn't we warn you about that?"
Still $30 a month is less than some of his prescriptions, and considering the $100,000s of coverage he's getting, it's a good deal. But we didn't need the stress. To counter, Hubby's taking strips of duct tape to his head in order to even out his "hairline". He's getting black amusement out of how much hair is on the tape.
The same thing we do every weekend, Pinky. Shuttling the kids to soccer and swimming.
That seems like a roundabout way to take over the world. Still, not a bad plan.
When did they put John Adams on $1 coins?
Good news: we got an offer on our house.
Bad news: $25k below the listing price, which is already a good deal under what we bought it for.
That is good news, Dana. And it's just a starting point for negotiations, right?
Sorry about the price, Dana. I hope you can come to an agreement that's okay and ends with you having more money and less house.
Theoretically, but we're worried that if we counter, they could just walk away, and it's taken this long to get one offer.
Yeah, that's a tough call.
My weekend plans are typing up a midterm, grading a quiz, prepping for a presentation, prepping my classes for this week, doing laundry, and cleaning my apartment. Also, lots of Robitussin, because I can't stop coughing.
Mum called to tell me that a teenager was found stabbed 15 times just a quarter mile down the road from her house in the state park. Holy bejesus. Girl survived, but I don't know anything else. They got the sickos, 18 and 22 y/o. We haven't had that sort of crime since the eighties (bodies in barrels in the woods), and before it was Josie Langmaid from the 1800's. I felt sick that I could recognize the intersection from the photos in the news (which I know is a fucked up priority and sensibility).
In better horrible rural news, the barn a half mile the other direction burned down, but all the animals were outside since it was a nice day out.
