Well heckadoodle! I think my insurance woes are totally exacerbated due to the fact that clearly the left hand does not have a clue what the right hand is doing! As the restoration fella left our house, stating all would be taken care of, I got an email from the adjuster saying NOPE!!! Not happening. No reason. No apologies. Just No! It was a two line rude not well written missive. So whilst I was completely outraged (shovel list), I sat down and blasted off a pretty nasty blunt email. I normally wouldn't do that, I would wait til I calmed down but I wanted to sound insanely mad so I didn't wait or even reread it.
Long boring, to you folks I am sure, story short, I got a call from the actual insurance rep. I learned with our other claims, house burning down, water pipes breaking, rodents eating and giant hole in the roof during the rainy season etc..... there is a hierarchy to follow. Agent, underwriter (insurance company), adjuster, restoration company workers. This email came from the adjuster.
The next day I had a call from a lovely lady from the insurance company, who by the way is higher up the ladder than the adjuster. She was as appalled as I was when I read her that email. She asked me to forward it to her. I mean seriously...we don't even know what the cause is yet and we won't til the restoration guy is finished in about two weeks after getting his asbestos course finished and he can legally work with the asbestos infested gyprock. Sigh. I have a feeling, and I am preparing, to pay for the whole shebang. I just want them to find out what the problem is before they turn me down.
I have not been out of this house in so long. I am getting waaaay too comfy not dressing or doing my hair or even cooking properly, believe it or not. I am thinking that staying home so continuously is an addiction! And it is an addiction, not agoraphobia. I can and will leave the house, but I way prefer not to!
The housekeeper came yesterday. It's the first time since the middle of Dec. I didn't realize how dirty this place had become. I generally try to keep it picked up, but I refuse to vacuum. I also don't scrub the floors or the sink or the stove. I exploded a plastic squeeze bottle of honey dregs in the microwave about a year ago. To this day the light button where the door shuts still gets stuck and doesn't turn the light on sometimes.
After she left it was shocking how squeaky clean the place looked and felt. I loved it!!!! Now I am fighting with a certain person to help keep it that way for at least a couple of days. So far he has done pretty good.
So, I have a question. How long can one get away with leaving their Christmas tree up? If I had my way I would leave it up all year! I love pausing my eyes on the tree now and then and just taking in the lights and symatree (misspelled on purpose lol). It calms me and recentres all that is right. I will put a pic at the end here of what I am looking at right now. You will see why I want to leave it up.
Now I must hobble into my room and get dressed. Yesterday morning super early I was in the kitchen making coffee. Whilst I waited I started cleaning the corner of my kitchen that was a disgusting mess. And in the middle of doing that I leaned a very large heavy, super heavy solid wood cutting board against the cabinet that is there. It fell over gouging my leg just under my knee and the edge landed right on the top of my foot. Holy doodle!!!!! Instant blinding pain! I couldn't walk on the stupid thing for half the day. I couldn't even put a sock on the foot. I thought I had for sure cracked a bone or something. Now it's turning black. It only hurts now if I walk or touch it. I gotta learn to slow down. I was trying to get the corner done before my coffee finished dripping or some unnamed horrible thing would happen....mind games, or defence mechanisms I learned it was called in high school guidance class.
Well enough rambling. Ima go now...have a great day people!!!! TTYL
'Nothing ever seems too bad, too hard or too sad when you've got a Christmas tree in the living room'. Tom Baker......see? good reason to leave it up forever!!!
TELL ME...WHY WOULD I WANT TO GET DRESSED OR LEAVE THE HOUSE OR TAKE THAT TREE DOWN!!!!!
Your tree, your house, leave it up as long as you want to!
