Just a Mish Mosh

I had Ty’s parent/teacher conference today and got another glowing report. His teacher loves having Ty in his class and Ty is doing great at all of his work. He’s even above level in all aspects of Math and in his comprehension of Science. YEA!!! His teacher also said Ty’s a fabulous writer and artist and that the art teacher thinks so too. We all knew that, though. Zach’s my sports dude; Ty’s my artist/scientist; and I haven’t yet figured out Dolly, she’s all over the place right now.

Other than that I didn’t really do much today. I’m ticked off that my insurance company took a payment for a policy that I cancelled and won’t refund my money until all the paperwork is processed – about twenty days. I don’t think it’s right that they get paid on time, yet I have to wait for my money. What the fuck is up with that? Fuck the paperwork; it’s there in black and white that the policy was cancelled so I want my money. “I’m sorry, I understand your problem but there’s nothing we can do.” Uh, yea, there is something you can do. You took the money out of my account; all you have to do is reverse the charge and give it back, dumbass. Whatever.

That was my big beef for the day. I did forget something, though, on another topic. I told you I’d found those clothes on craigslist for Dolly, right? Well today Kara and I drove to Medford to look at them. The clothes are adorable and the lady was really nice. She gave us all 30 pieces for $10 instead of $15. That was a really nice surprise and so sweet of her. She also said she’d keep the email and contact us again when she’s got more of her daughter’s stuff to sell. I can’t wait. Dolly loved the clothes she got today so I know she’ll love whatever else comes her way.

Right now I’m having a really great conversation, via text messaging, with my friend Dan. You remember him from previous emails; I talked about him, his wife and their baby. Anyway, he texted me tonight and conversation went from general stuff to cold fusion, energy, and religion. Go figure. I’ve never discussed physics with anyone before but actually found it quite interesting. I’ll have to do a little research so I can converse better the next time. Learning is never a bad thing; and I try to impress that on my kids. I constantly tell them that we’re all always learning; they don’t like it but it’s true. Tonight I learned a few things about hydrogen and other things. That was pretty cool.

He and I didn’t get to finish the conversation because I wanted to get my blog done for tonight and I pinched the nerve in my right shoulder again today. All I did was yawn and I felt it pinch. I can turn my head all the way to the right, but I can’t turn it left nor can I tip it backwards without pain. OW!! So I’m stopping for tonight to lie down and relax. Maybe it’ll feel better tomorrow. It doesn’t usually go away that quickly but I could get lucky. We’ll see.

Until next time…peace to all.
