I don’t normally get super personal here, but this is a happy day and I am going to share.

1. We have been dealing with an insurance company who is in charge of covering a loss that happened during our move back to the States. We have had a claim that is almost 8 weeks old, moving slowly through their “process”. It is not for a small amount of money. I got a note today (after badgering them for two weeks with facts, data, and common sense) that they were going to send us an interim payment for 1/5 of the total claim while they continue to work through it all. I was happily shocked as they have up to this point been rife with fuckery.

2. We are are in the process of refinancing our house and taking a little equity cash out so that all of the unexpected repairs that have come up during the remodel don’t all continue to flow directly out of my now shallow pocket. I got a call that we have the green light to start the closing process, which means I will have a finished house and new garage/shop by summer.

3. I do not currently have ass cancer. I have been privately dealing with that real possibility for a couple of weeks and went to see a specialist/surgeon today. Apparently, I am fine and my plumbing is all good. I almost broke down and sobbed like a little bitch when I got the news.

Overall, it has been a very good day.
