Well.....I don't know about you, but I am glad September is OVER. What a shitty month. Not onlydid we have to deal with the death of Pete's mom, then a dead minivan, then a totaled car accident, but also our computer died. It took Pete a little while to get the new hard drive copied and running. That is why I haven't been able to get online lately. I could write on my iPhone, but I never seemed to have more than just a minute here and there to do it. I would much rather take a half hour to sit and focus than to sporadically jot down a few snippets here and there.
I mentioned the car accident last time, and needless to say it sucked. The Mercedes is gone. Totaled. We got a check from the insurance company last week, and the weird thing is, I think maybe Florence was doing us a favor by taking her car with her...we got more from the insurance company for the whole thing than we would have if we had tried to trade it in or re-sell it ourselves. So, Flo actually has made it possible for us to buy a new car....even after she died. I think that's pretty damned awesome.
My left ribs are still a bit sore, especially if I sneeze. The doctor said I must have bruised the muscle between the ribs, and that it will take a few weeks to heal. She didn't feel that I should have it x-rayed, but she did send me for a jaw x-ray, which was normal. I was sitting sideways, talking to Pete's friend Clara, with my seat belt on in the back seat. When we hit the oncoming car, my right jaw hit the back of the passenger side seat, and the seat belt grabbed my rib cage. So, they are minor injuries, just somewhat aggravating. A temporary thing though.
All of the financial stuff is being handled by Pete and the All State insurance company. We will be reimbursed for the 4 day rental car that we needed, as well as the medical x-ray bills. The other driver was 100% at fault, so at least we won't have any judicial complications or anything.
So right after we get back from all THAT fiasco, (my head spinning),
A totaled car, sore ribs, and sore jaw...
Burying Florence at her New Jersey grave site...
And making sure Florence got everything that she wanted and planned for. Like this blue casket.
Then we had to rent a car, drive to Rochester New York for a comic book convention (tickets already bought months ahead), to visit his kids and have birthday dinner---and FINALLY weget home and Pete has to go in for kidney stone surgery a few days later, and THEN we have a party at our home with 75 people on Saturday night.
Needless to say, Stephen, I need a VACATION.
So, come get me, and let's get the hell outta here for awhile.
I hope things will start to slow down a bit around here. It's too much, and too overwhelming for me. I need time to process stuff, ya know? But when too many things happen all at once, I'm lost.
Sooooo, how are things with you?!! Tell me all the naughty stuff you've been doing lately. Come on, I know you've gotta be doin' SOMETHING naughty...don't tell me you've been celibate all year long?! That would totally suck. I think you need some naughtiness. So, come get me.
Well, I am off to the wild blue yonder. Hope you have a nice week, and with all this government shut down crap going on, I hope you don't get all hyped up over politics....though in MY world, that is nearly impossible....having lived in FUBAR City for 10 years, it makes it rather difficult to ignore. I am ready to charge those GOP losers with treasonous sabotage from within, fire them ALL, and SUE them to reimburse us all for the 42 times of wasted money to try and repeal Obamacare.
That's just how I roll.
Bye for now, you sexy man. I love ya. Gonna listen to some of your music now...mmmm....come get me....come get me.....come get me.....
