Hi measlers. D, I second the feeling you are enjoying a run of creative output. In a short post you list several talents. Alas, please remove lifting wheelchairs from the list for the sake of your back.
I'm up with spritely energy. Had 2 fab convos yesterday, and got around to some small chores like bottling and labeling some herbs we had drying around the place. Also, I feel both convos 'advanced' my intentions. In the first, I handed off a thick binder of resources for collaboration to a young recent college graduate who stepped up to begin reclaiming an abandoned hill near the college. I'd paid serious money for just that binder (it wasn't part of a workshop), and to send it out for more adventures felt like passing the baton. The second convo spun around all the tragedies and wins I've collected by trading. I've been launching trial hints to lots of people and most acted doubtful, afraid, skeptical, or all three. I lack the optics for a serious winning trader [dude, where's your Rolex?], so I'm not annoyed I don't get instant respect. But, surprise, I crossed paths with someone who is supportive, curious and attentive. Balm x 3. Yet another factor on why I feel so d---m good is that my inner work on bragging and recently, the necessity of failure, are reframing long-forgotten biases I hold about living, goals, and my self respect/esteem. It's thrillingly hyper-linked, as in, one of the essays mentioned in passing has led me to a memoir—The Body of a Dancer—that I'll search out at the library today. I don't need more reading material, but I can always give a book the once over to decide if it's worthy of a deeper look later when I have more time. I have hours of chores before I sleep, so I've blocked off 3 hours at the open for random stuff in any order that only I care about. Ah, this does approach happiness. __________________ |

The power of the pen! In previous episodes, we had a leaky laundry device that caused a lot of damage. The invoice for the work went to the insurance company paid most of it, but not all. The drying-out company began muscling me for the rest. Over the phone I'd remind them the ins. co. repped me and they needed to work it out with them, and I wanted to be on the call.
They skirted around me a couple of times trying to get someone else to get me to pay up. I kept saying the same thing to everyone to stepped in. Me: You're no longer part of this.Then last Friday I sent a cert mail letter to the invoicing company's CEO. Monday I got a call and verbally went around the same circles. Today I get a series of emails from my insurance company which settled with a payment to me for me to forward to the invoicing company for about 60% of the disputed balance. They don't explicitly state this is the final agreement, so I'll clarify that next week and pass through the payment when it comes. They didn't invite me to the negotiations party. No surprise as "I get no respect." Highly probable that this is DONE! __________________ |

Oh I hope you're done! I got stressed out reading about your ordeal!

I hate confrontation, and sometimes it's necessary. Hats off to you, R.
I'm doing annoying medical stuff these days. Nothing life-threatening - just annoying. Teeth feature prominently in my medical stuff. I signed up for a 50,000 word challenge for October. I couldn't wait for Nanowrimo's November challenge. Meanwhile, I'm loving making pretty things. I'm doing flower arranging, and I'm finding throwaway items to use for vases and flower pots. There's some recycled-paper packing material that reminds me of biblical Jerusalem. I'm not sure if I'm nuts or inventive. Probably both. I'm going to surf the net and look for photos of desert cities. I have an idea for my next novel - A conservative Christian father and a hippie mother have a crack baby. So many possibilities. Good stuff to us all. |

Ah Nanowrimo! I've never attempted it, although I completed a few blog equivalents -- NoBloPoMo -- which seem to have faded into oblivion.

Well now comes State Farm to jump in with their twist: sending 2 checks! Ha Ha. One is for the settlement, the other for the total disputed, then immediately canceled (per a couple of emails) though they did send it, too.
Ay! Emailed the claims rep, who said "sorry" "don't know how" and "destroy it." With Pleasure. Mailing the closing payment out today. 99.44% likely DONE. Only the USPS has to do their job and deliver the check, the middle man their work of clearing with their client, and the service co. clearing their books. Routine, right? Right?!? __________________ |

And perhaps then "whoever" sending a letter stating that the matter is settled?
