This past week has been horrid... A few letters from the bank (liars, saying we are not willing to work with them) and a letter from an attorney about Chris' accident in 03' and they just bugged me... I have a tendency to wallow, wring my hands and stew about things until I figure out what to do or see a way to move forward.
Thank goodness Holly came in and took a stance and made a few phone calls for me... (she gets tired of me stewing, it cuts into my time helping her out hehe) She called the attorney and we read the bank papers and called on those too.
The attorney is for the trucking company that we already settled with... but the other guy in the truck, Chris is suing them. They want all the info on our Chris and I am just not into digging unless I am required by the courts. It just keeps things on the surface and during the holidays it's sad on a good day (really). I posted an email to Britt and her dad and got a good phone call to tell me not to do anything... Keep the paperwork and just ignore them unless it is subpoenaed from the courts. So one less hand wringing and stewing moment.
The bank is another story... the firm representing the default/foreclosure said if we are going to pay the $303,000 we have until the 3rd of Dec to pay in full (oh right hahaha). Then it's in the banks court again. We wanted a time frame for moving (didn't want to put up Christmas to have to take it down before the day). The good news is it's about 120 days. That will get us into Spring almost and not have things outside frozen solid to the ground. That means I have less to store in a non frozen place. I do not have to many of those left, and that was bugging me. I can do this and even with a smile. Hurrah for 120 days from Nov. 4th.
I am still sick... and have been since before my birthday in Oct. but I am not wringing my hands and stewing about stuff I have no control over. I have a new plan moving forward. Now I just get to save money to have someone come in and pack for me... I can't do it, Mike can't do it, and we are just done... It's been a long time coming and we are both just done...
The bottom line for today is the gratitude I feel for my Heavenly Father and his son, Jesus Christ. Losing your house to the economy isn't the end of our world. I have faith and hope that things will work out for the best. I do not know how or what will happen or when, but I do know that we are blessed and loved. The Gospel is True...
