Some Alone Time

 I'm all alone this morning... not counting the pets. The Wife ran off to church. The Middle son showed up and took the Youngest, to do some shopping. Of course, he brought over laundry to get done as well. We have always told him and he Oldest Son to bring it over when they need it done. We aren't "doing the laundry" but they can. Hell of a lot cheaper than the apartment community-shared laundry facilities. Supposedly he has a load started and wanted to do some 99 cent store shopping.... of course he willbring me back some Mtn Dew.

I'm hurting a bit this morning. I fell a couple times last night. Yes I am sure the drinking was part of the issue. Either way, I took a couple spills after getting home. Thankfully, not in a forward motion, and onto the knees, but backwards onto my bottom. Which the back is not happy about today. That's why I had some acetaminophen with the allergy pill, along with the last 2 slices of pizza this morning for breakfast. I'm getting way too old to do the late nights like I tried to do last night....

So, knowing everyone here had left, I thought I would get some "quiet time" to do ...something. I end up here. I am sure to be followed with the RM's page, and then some social media. Trying to set up a bday dinner for Tues for the Youngest's, which was Friday, but trying to get people all on the same page/day/etc is a pain in the ass.

I'm off to play some Warcraft...

Peace

Let's Get Drunk and Go Streaking in the Quad!

 I don't know what made me think of this post title today. It is a line by Will Ferrell in the movie "Old School". I found the movie funny when I watched it a few years back, and that line has just always stuck with me. After all, he is playing a character in like his mid-thirties, and getting a frat house going...etc etc. There is more to the story, it's the details.

Yesterday was the bday of the Youngest. He got some snack-type gifts from us. The middle Son came by early that morning and got breakfast from Wendy's for us all. We also bought a Warcraft account for the Youngest, and paid the additional fee to transfer his character from my account to his new one. Though it is a monthly subscription we are paying, I did a recruit-a-friend option, and will receive a free 30-day period about every 3-4 months on my account. And some other bonuses. We sat down and set it all up under his email, etc, and he was excited. He will now be able to do stuff online with me and his brothers now, whereas before he could not, unless I was not on. We are trying to find a night when both the older Sons are not working to do a bday dinner.

I think this afternoon I am going to be mellow. Think I may head to the pub, do some reading, enjoy some beer. The monies did come through the other day. Just waiting now to see if the mortgage and insurance companies need to refund us anything. That could take up to 45 days. The Wife and I are starting to look for newer vehicles. Might have that going on for a couple weeks.

The Near-End-Of-Week Goings-On

 This week has been a bit of ups and downs. See the last post for how the week started... that felt like being on a roller coaster, and just started out of the station, and heard/felt that "Chink" as the cars hooked into the chain that pulls them up that first big hill.

Tuesday the Wife and I drove to Scottsdale and signed paperwork to close on the sell of our old home. On the way, we discussed what we thought might be the "final" figure we would end up with. Once we actually saw the settlement statement, we had guessed nearly spot on. That was a relief. Signing happened with no issues. Yesterday we received notice that it recorded, and fund disbursement would happen today. It is nice to have that over with, and no longer a worry. I do expect some additional funds to be coming back to me from the mortgage company (escrow account) and possibly the insurance company.

Since the beginning of the HS school year, the youngest has mostly been doing 'virtual learning' from home. There was short period of about a month or so, that they actually returned to school on a hybrid learning program. But when Covid numbers busted high again, it was back to all learning at home. This has caused us issues with his grades - as in him not wanting to do homework, thus, results were a couple weeks ago of two classes with a grade of "F". As parents, we have tried different things to get him to get the grade up, encouraging him to do the make-ups as allowed, etc. We have withheld his tablet from him as we could, though he has notes from classes on it supposedly, and needs it back at times. I have been frustrated about the whole thing, and have informed him if he fails, he repeats it, as I am not paying for Summer School. As of yesterday, he still has one class with an "F", and we had to physically wrestle the tablet away from him. I don't know what to do anymore. He has basically 2 weeks to get his grade up before getting a final grade. I wish the school would get back to mandatory attendance "at school" instead of this at home crap. It would help solve the issues... as he was doing fine when he went even part of the week.

The Company I work for has offices across the US, and I often am working online with people in several different states. The projects we work on, also have some weird time availabilities for us to work, based on the location of the Client (I think). Either way, this current project allows me to start work as early as 6am. I have always preferred to start work earlier, allowing me to finish earlier in the day (and also need to go to bed earlier too). So a 6:30-2:30 day is pretty nice! This week, with a late start on Monday, I actually have been working til 3pm, getting that extra half hour in each day, to help make closer to 40 for the week. I truly love doing this job.

I have yet to verify with the Wife, but I think we will go out this Saturday and test-drive some vehicles. We are both looking to get newer ones (her a newer one, me, just one to have).

That's all I got today...

The First Step in Recovery ....

... is sleep! Sunday I stayed out a bit later than I wanted, and drank more than I needed. I came home and crashed. Slept in the next morning and only got up in time to get to the meeting for the new project for work. Then it was work all day until I could get offline. But Sunday night was a good time celebrating the birthday of a friend, and the Celebration of Life, of another.

Today I am up at the usual time to get started with work early enough. I have an appointment scheduled with the title company to do sign papers today. Supposedly they want to close by tomorrow... a coupkle days ahead of the end of my contract. I'm all for that.

Hmmm. not much else to say today. I need to get my smoke in, and then probably get started on work.

PeacE

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

 Geez. It feels like today is going to be busy for me, but in truth it just has several things going on, all at the same time. This evening is the regular Guild Raid that I do on Sundays. I have leveled up another character that should be high enough to get into the group. But that is not happening. There is also a memorial service for another friend, that has passed away. The pub he was a regular at is allowing a band an actual band tonight 7pm-10pm. There has not been any live music at this place for pretty much the last year due to Covid restrictions. Also, another friend is celebrating a birthday, and will be at the memorial service. So a celebration of Life and a birthday, at the same time my Raid is suppose to be happening.... so no Raid for me tonight. Oh well, there is always next week.

Work starts back up tomorrow. Supposed to have a meeting around 11am. Duration is only a week (they say) but will hopefully follow into another project fairly quickly.

After Friday night/Saturday Morning escapades, and add in the being "wired" from the coffee, I crashed hard yesterday. I was in bed by 8:30, and out. I slept good through the night. I feel pretty well rested this morning.

Got nothing else today....

Should I... Shouldn't I...?

 I have been debating this long this morning.... well, not that long. but the last hour plus... if I should even write today. My rational mind says 'Yes! Write every chance you get! No matter what it is!' And the other part says, 'Whatever. Who reads it but Mom?' Yeah... bad attitudes can create bad habits. Lord knows I have enough of them already.

So here I am. Writing. About what? Well, let's see where it goes.

I closed the pub down last night. That means in AZ it was close to 2am before I got a Lyft ride home. I have no idea why, but I had set my alarm for 6 am, so I was p when it went off. Yes, I was tired, and even thought/tried to roll over and go back to sleep, but my mind would not let me. So I got up and went into our 'office', and thought, I am hungry. It is about 6:30... I thought... why don't I call RM and invite out for breakfast. So, I did. We did. Ate. Came home.

Obviously there was much more to that. we shared things going on in our lives. Maybe me more than her, but I have to share what the kids are doing, too. I think we both had a good time. I know when I got home, I was ready to have an EKG. I kid you not, my heart was racing and it took me about 5 minutes to figure out why. I had coffee. I don't normally drink coffee, and usually if I do, it is just 1, maybe 2, cups t home. I had at least 5 this morning. They were smaller cups, but still....and then I realized. I never said "decaf" ... Now RM does not like the word decaf, let alone anything in her coffee. So I didn't realize until I was home I had had at least 5 cups of regular....whew! I still feel like I have the energy to run 5 miles (but I know I couldn't do 5 houses). I AM WIRED!!!!! Dammit Mother!

Other than that, a good morning. Got an email late in the day yesterday that I have a new project starting Monday for work. A quick text last night also "says" I could be closing on the sale of the house this week (holding out for actual proof). Everything is sounding good to a good start to the week. But I'm waiting for that other shoe. It is truly my nature to be pessimistic.

After all, an optimist is NEVER pleasantly surprised.

PeacE

Yeah Whatever....

 I'm tired. I'm intoxicated as well. Makes typing a pain in my ass, and that is just today. I'm sure RM will have an earful today, if I call, which I won't.... because, who wants to hear it when ya know it is coming? Yeah.

Got news last night, got a new project starting Monday. Good.

Possibility of closing the contract on the sale of old house this week. Good.

Closed the bar last night, and up early today to get a car ready for pickup for donation. Well, could use a couple hours sleep, but oh well.

I think today may be a day of some changes.

PeacE

Ch-Ch-Ch-Oh, Whatever

 This has not been one of the better weeks of my life that I can recall. On the other hand, it's not one of the worst either. As of this morning, as I sit here typing this out, pointer fingers extended and pecking at the keyboard, I am still waiting to hear about a new project from work. I did email them earlier in the week, notifying them that my status is AVAILABLE for the next project. In my short amount of time with the company (call it four months?) This is the longest period between projects I have been in. I haven't had any bad reviews that would affect placing me, so not sure what they delay is. Of course, the last project ended quite abruptly - so whose to say there isn't something out of my control about the whole situation as well. Either way, I am still here waiting patiently, as much as I can.

So no work this week. Was kind of nice, though it means no paycheck next week. The time was used to fix some things that were wrong at the beginning of the week, which is always good. Things are on a bit better keel at this time. Not everything, but the ones that are most important (to me). 

I play a bit of World of Warcraft, and the three older kids have also through the years. The Daughter's life is quite busy (and has been) that she and the SIL haven't played in about 4-5 years. Starting your lives out, and having a child will make that happen. They hope to come back and play at some point. The oldest Son had quit playing about 2+ years ago, due to moving out of the house. He didn't have a computer of his own until just recently. The middle Son, same thing. He got his computer a few short months ago. The Youngest, well, we finally got him to playing as well, though, he and I "share" the account, and between my work, and my game time, he doesn't get to play as much. his bday is this next week. I think I am going to purchase him his own account, and pay for his character to transfer over to it. Anyways, I have had more time to play this week, and have enjoyed it.

I have procrastinated long enough on getting rid of the Oldest Son's car. It has been sitting in our drive for the past couple months since he got his newer vehicle. We are donating it to Wounded Paw, a company that takes rescue animals in, trains them to be something like an emotional support animal for Vets. The Wife heard about them on the local news radio, and thought we should try them versus the regular Kars for Kids. I shall jump to their website this morning after finishing here before I forget (I hope).

Wow, I just got lost for 20 minutes watching YouTube videos of song mash-ups.  I happened to see a note to look at one I cam e across on social media last night. It is a mix of the music from Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" and the words of Disturbed's "Down With the Sickness". It actually sounds good - my opinion. So I started watching other mashed-up song videos, which weren't so good.

Anyways, time to get moving onto something else today.

Not A Good Start

 The weekend came and went in a crappy manner, and the start of this week has left much to be desired. There are many frustrating factors that are not helping family matters. I'm not going to get into it all, because .... well, I have a feeling it would just makes things worse.

That being said, I think there may be a few days where I am not here writing drivel.

A Sleepless Day Off

 Saturday mornings are generally considered one of the days of the week I am not working, and have the opportunity to sleep in. Most of them I do, since I usually go out with friends the night before, and stay out too late. Last night I stayed home though, and was in bed at my "usual" hour. Then awake at 3:30am this morning. I was able to nap for about another hour, before I decided it was a waste of time, and got up. A quick run to the QT to get cigarettes (and a couple rollers and drinks) and here I sit, going through the morning routine.

No update on a new project for work. If it runs the normal gamut, it will eb late Sunday, or early Monday morning before I hear anything.

The oldest Son texted me yesterday, upset about our DMV. We had helped him get a newer vehicle a short while back. At the beginning of the month, DMV had emailed him the registration amount, etc. He made the payment online to them. Mind you, this is for his plates and registration. Evidently, somehow the payment didn't go through (not due to lack of finances, but some other glitch) and he called yesterday to follow up about not receiving the updated sticker and the plates. Seems the payment never processed, and no one contacted him, so he wanted to correct it right then on the phone, but they would not let him. The excuse was the people that do phone payments leave at 5pm, though the phone lines are open until 6pm. Needless to say, he was frustrated, and concerned about driving his car with the expired dealer paper in place of the actual license plate and current registration. I told him he was okay to drive, and if for whatever reason was pulled over, just explain it to the officer. They understand sometimes it takes a little longer to get your plates on a new(er) vehicle. Either way he was a bit miffed. Can't say I blame him.

No idea what plans are for today. Might take a nap later being up so early today. Then again, I may not and sleep better tonight. Hope to hear something on the sale of the house soon. Sis and BIL have not said much of anything, and it is less than 2 weeks to contract end. Hope they don't screw me over. If they do, I know I will never hear the end of it from my Wife, and it will just ruin what little relationship I have left with Sis. 

Well, enough negative thoughts this morning. I'm going to see what I can find to watch on Netflix.

Friday am I am Jobless

 Well, Wednesday was a night. My buddy J and I had gone out, and both drank way more than we should have. J was melancholic all night. His Mom had passed away on that date three years prior, and he still wasn't quite over it. I get that way on my Dad's bday some years...but that was 35 years ago, so it has had more time to settle in my life. Either way, it made things hard in regards to waking up on Thursday morning. I finally got up, and logged in for work, only to find out that the project had finished up that morning prior to me getting online. Oooooo K. I also had an email, stating it had ended and would be notified about the next project. So, as of right now, nothing new. I am sure through the weekend, or maybe by early Monday I will have a new project starting. They seem to get going about that fast.

That means I will be playing Warcraft probably most of the day. The middle Son came by early today, and brought some McD's for breakfast. I tell him he doesn't have to bring food, but he almost always does. I love that. And he brought me sweet tea, too! We sat and talked Warcraft stuff for almost an hour. The oldest Son is getting back into he game now as well, and will be bale to all be online to play together at some point, work schedules allowing.

Not much else going on. Guess I will get the day started and get my normal morning online reads/haunts done.

Child Abductions Really Suck

 I was awakened this morning to the loud tone emitting from my cell phone. Unfortunately, it was not my regular alarm tone, and therefore, it 'jolted' me awake. On the other side of the bed, the Wife's phone was emitting the same tone. My first thought, coming from a dead sleep, was this was the emergency broadcast, and something MAJOR just happened - like someone launching nuclear warheads, or something. No, it was a child abduction. An AMBER alert, if you will. And I couldn't read it. Admittedly, I did not have my glasses on, and to shut the screeching pitch of a noise off, I tapped the button on the screen. Noise stopped, and the text box disappeared. So now I have no idea why I was getting the alert - supposedly it would be something that happened in my area of town. Either way, child abductions suck, because now I have been up for like two and half hours, and not feeling sleepy again yet. I'm going to try to lay down and nap, or hopefully, sleep until time to get up, after I get done here.

The middle Son came by yesterday, because he was bored. He and the Wife ended up going to WinCo to do some shopping - not because he or is needed groceries. Mostly because they sell some stuff in bulk, like candies you can get however much you want in a bag, and pay by weight. That feature had been not allowed due to covid, but I guess they are allowing it in some type of form again. Wife ended up getting me some of them black licorice tasting candies. I'm more excited about the bag of salt & vinegar chips she got me.

Well, I should close this off, and try to get back to bed and sleep.

PeacE

Edit: I was able to get back to sleep finally around 3:30, and now I am up again for work, I still feel tired as heck. Think it is going to be a long day.

Quiet Chuckles

Or is that 'Quiet, Chuckles'? This morning, it is a bit of both for me. As my usual start of the day routine, I read RM's blog first ting most mornings (if she has it posted yet). Today she made mention of me because I said she went on a rant about the Cousin. So, I looked up the definition. Yeah, I stand by what I said. I didn't say it was done in a blustery way, or a long speech, but it fits. I'm sure in her thoughts, it was just voicing her opinion - same thing for many of us. I do it quite often!

Anyways, welcome back to another Monday. It is back to work today for me, though a bit later this morning than I like. I finally got an email notifying me I am moving to phase two of this project (it was date/time stamped early this morning) and it will probably last about a week, maybe two but I doubt it. Then it will be on to another one. I'm just happy to be working.

I didn't do much yesterday. Played some Warcraft. The Middle Son has gotten me into a guild he is in, and they actually play raid content in the game. Last night was my first time running with the group, and I thought I did okay. The Guild is good about explaining the mechanics of the boss fights, and I was able to get better gear for my character. I had a good time and laughed quite a bit. They are an older group - meaning not a bunch of teens and twenties griping and yelling about things. More laid back and joking with each other. The Son has said to me before he is the baby of the Guild, being the youngest. Yet, he plays the role sometimes of being a leader of some of the groups we run. Proud of him for that, and many other things.

I guess I am off to get some other reading of blogs done, and whatnot before work.

Just *SHM* (Shaking My Head)

 I headed over to RM's blog this morning, and now I am sitting here, literally, just *smh*. Part of her post (rant?) today was about my cousin ... the one that had "moved" out here last year at the urgings of my brother. They were close in age growing up, and got along well. That was when they were kids. now both of them are messed up in the head. Anyways, RM mentioned some of the things that have 'gone on/been happening' with the Cousin, and how she is frustrated at how he is - about dealing with others, himself with his meds, etc, and that she is "ready to tell him to pack up and move back to Indiana". And I snicker. Yes, at my Mother. I knew this day was coming, and am not the least bit surprised. Family or not, I am tired of his antics, and told my brother Months ago to send the Cousin 'home'.

I have always considered myself a 'Family Man', though, I guess once you think about it, in some ways I am not. I distance myself from my family - my siblings especially. One is a drama queen, and the other is a 'better than thou' and I have grown to hate that about both of them. I try to keep an open line of communication with them, but don't reach out, or visit, them at all. I live my life, and lead my family, in so much of a different way. I even jokingly tell RM that I was adopted, because I am so different than the two siblings. We laugh at that, as we know I truly wasn't adopted. It was more being raised separately and differently than the sibs were, and having different life events/choices growing up in the childhood years. At least, that's all I can think of.

Speaking of family, we did a trip down to Tucson yesterday. I woke that morning and told the Wife and Youngest to get up we were going. Spent the day with Doodad and family. Got back home last night about 11pm. I was tired! But I did get to play with the Doodad for a bit, and just watching her play makes my heart swell with love. The Daughter was busy trying to finish up a craft project she had a deadline for, so didn't get to spend time with me until later in the day. The Wife of course was by her side the whole time chatting away. I watched TV, and Doodad. Even the SIL and I had time to sit and chit-chat. Not sure when the next time they will be up or we will go down there to visit. Daughter gave the Youngest his Bday gift early, in case they don't make it up before March.

Super Bowl game is here today. Whoopee. I just have not been into watching any football this year. With the forced mascot/name change for my Washington team, and the whole playing the BLM anthem before games in the early part of the season, I just gave up on football. I heard that Wash. won the division, but lost the first playoff game. So I have no horse in today's race, and care for neither team. A close friends BIL used to do a nice SB party but had to stop doing it the last few years due to the health of his wife. I'm sure most pubs will have drink specials and those that have food will do specials for that as well. But I ain't going. I think I will spend today playing Warcraft, and deciding on what to load up on my tablet for reading. I'm four books ahead of schedule for my goal. Just finishing up the Jesse Stone series that was started by Robert B. Parker - the guy that created 'Spenser for Hire' series. I might read those next. There are about 30 of them.

Alrighty, time to move on to something else today besides writing here.

A Freebie Day ... Kinna

 Yesterday, around the noon hour, the work project came to the end of phase one. Which means that I was done for the day. Today, they will be prepping things for phase two, which I am sure I will be on, and that will officially start on Monday. So today is a "Free Day" from work. except, it is without pay, so not really free. It's kind of nice though. I will be able to take care of a couple things that I have needed to do (a run to the bank) and just sort of relax.

I thought about sleeping in today, since there is no work. I decided against it. I did set the alarm for about 15-30 minutes later than the usual morning time, but still ended up awake at the regular time. Which is fine with me. It makes me think about sleeping habits of people. Ever since I can remember, the "older" people end to rise in the early hours, while the "young" tend to sleep in (when not required to get up). My teenager will sleep all day if we let him. Yet, the only way it seems I am able to sleep in late is if I am 'recovering' from a night of drinking. Or was up until 3-4 am due to not being able to fall asleep. Is it habit? Is it because I tend to go to bed at a decent hour, and the body just gets its need for rest and then says enough? I dunno. I just notice that I am getting more and more into that "older" part of the spectrum.

The Wife had mentioned yesterday, that since I was off today, we should do a trip to Tucson. I nixed it. Though I truly would love to see Doodad and family. I asked what about the Youngest Son? He has online school. Ph they have wifi at their house. But that means getting up (even earlier) to drive there, wake them up, just so he could start on time. he can't go to class while we are driving. Then I thought, what about after classes? Except, I just didn't feel up to the drive. I still don't this morning. Also it would involve getting at least a room for the night (not a problem) as I would not want to drive back at midnight. I just thought, not this weekend. Maybe sometime soon.

Another Nothing Post

 Welcome to another Wednesday edition of "I Have Nothing To Post About". I don't know how RM manages to find a topic to write about most fays, even if it is based off of personal memories, or tales of exploits, or even things she has to do that day. I work, eat, sometimes drink, and sleep. Kind of hard to get excited and find a topic out of all that....

I slept in yesterday - on a workday at that. At least an hour longer than I normally would have. I only got that much more as I had asked Sis to call me about 7 as I had a question for her. Then I laid in bed until about 7:40am before getting up and heading to the computer to start work. Most mornings I like to get up a couple hours before, just to go through emails, FB, and whatnot, prior to starting the day. Sometimes I even post some boring stuff here.... like today. Of course, today, I was up an hour before the alarm, so made a trip tot he local QuikTrip for some cigarettes, soda and breakfast (that being the jalapeno cheese and sausage hot dog (x2) that I call 'rollers'). Now haven eaten, and had half a Mtn Dew (loading up on the sugar already) I think I may be ready to start the day.

The middle Son stopped by yesterday morning. Though I was later about getting up, when I got to the computer, there was a McD's bag with breakfast in it, and a couple large sweet teas. When he had gotten off work that morning, he had came over (about 6'ish) to "hang out" until the 99 cent store opens. So, sausage mcmuffins and sweet tea was breakfast. And I love me some sweet tea. Over the past few years, a few more places here in AZ are starting to actually serve it. A few of the restaurants we go to, serve it, and it is my drink of choice. Otherwise it is just a regular tea and I add sweet 'n low. The Wife almost always has a raspberry tea. Anyways, the middle Son is so nice about doing the breakfast thing sometimes when he comes over after work like that. Then when he runs to the store, he always asks if we need anything. I usually just tell him a 2-liter of Mtn Dew, which he always gets me. Wife will sometimes ask for something small. He always refuses to take any money from us, even though he spent less than $5 getting things for us. He is turning out to be a nice young man. Now, if he and his older siblings would 'rub' off on the youngest. Sigh.

The mortgage company that is handling the Note on my old house is confusing me. Even with my Real Estate experience, and the several years I worked for a Mortgage Broker, I am so lost in regards to how this company remains in business. Thank goodness The house will be done and out of my hands by the end of the month. So, over the last year plus, we have been slowly getting things out of the house. Don't ask why so long, just go with it. At one point earlier 2020, the insurance company found out we were not living in the house (I'm guessing got a forwarded mail notice) and cancelled the policy as it was not a landlord type policy. I understand that. They refunded the overage for the remaining coverage (about $500). I'm like, okay, maybe we don't need insurance and let's just get this cleaned out and sold finally. When we got it under contract (around the 1st of 2021) we needed insurance because there were going to be workers there doing remodeling, etc, and needed coverage 'just in case'. My attorney/insurance friend, helped me find a temporary coverage agent, and got something in place. This is where the mortgage company confuses me.....

Edit: I figured it out - sorta. The mtg co wants back the difference for those months... about $518. Afer they cut the check in another dept. Best I got....

Let's start off by saying my payments to the mortgage company are escrowed - meaning I pay insurance and taxes with the monthly payment. So the insurance company had already refunded some money for overage when they cancelled.

Back in early January, the mtg co sends me notice that they show there is no current insurance on the house (working on the temp ins at that time). They say they are going to put a policy in place if I don't and it may be expensive. Understood. My insurance agent sends the new temp insurance info to the mtg co. Monday, I get a new letter from the mtg co, and included in it is a check for over $2k, that they are refunding to me for an escrow overage. So they were overcharging me on the escrow account? THAT MUCH?!? AND, last week there was a letter from the mtg saying they are going to CHARGE me $518 to have insurance in place that would have covered from Aug-Jan (period there was no insurance). HUH??!!?? Give me 2k, but charge me 518.... shouldn't that have been taken out before you gave me a check? I'm confused. That's why I got a second opinion from Sis. And it concurred with my thought. Deposit the check. If they need to charge me the 518, let them add it on the payoff when the house closes later this month. Geez.....morons.

Well, maybe tomorrow I will have something better to post.

It's Early For Me

 Hello early morning. Wish you hadn't woken me for whatever reason. Even better, I wish you had allowed me to roll over and return to peaceful slumber for an additional three hours, before  HAD to get up. Sigh. Oh well. Not sure what really woke me up, but there was no going back to sleep. So I got up from bed and sat myself in front of the computer. Sometimes it is nice to have that extra time there, as I was able to go through my three main email accounts and clear the junk out of them, take care of what needed replied to, and just sort it all out. Wish things in life were that easy.

I'm killing time this morning. Can't start work for about another 4 hours. Don't have much else to do either. I'll probably end up playing Warcraft. But first I will go through my blogroll, and my book sites to see what is new and interesting to me out there.
