Effectively, Jerry’s assembly yesterday went nicely. He was actually nervous as a result of he solely knew a few folks (out of 250-ish) and so they needed to do group team-building workouts to get to know one another. Jerry is normally tremendous snug assembly folks and he is at all times the “icebreaker” within the room, so I do not know what was responsible for him so nervous. However he stated they performed bocce ball (I do not even know what that’s) and it was a whole lot of enjoyable.
It was a three-day occasion, and he’s on his approach residence now. He has NEVER traveled this a lot in such a short while span. It’s my flip to go someplace subsequent, for certain. I had been hoping to go go to Jeanie and Shawn up north, however with our automobile scenario, that is not going to occur for a very long time.
We’ve been combating with the insurance coverage firm about our automobile for what seems like eternally. We known as and known as the individual dealing with our declare and she or he by no means answered. After a number of voicemails, she *lastly* returned our calls after a few week… and she or he stated she’d been on trip! I used to be so indignant. Why did they not give our declare to another person to deal with whereas she was on trip?! In the meantime, we have been with out a automobile all this time. I reported the corporate to the Higher Enterprise Bureau in order that we may hopefully get this declare resolved. (And we’re completely going to have a look at totally different insurance coverage suppliers after this mess.)
Lastly, although, the adjuster went to have a look at the Jeep and stated sure, it is totaled. And we’re getting a verify for greater than what I might hoped! We have been debating what to do… repay the home and get a mortgage for a brand new automobile, or proceed funds on the home and use the insurance coverage verify for a big down fee on a brand new truck for Jerry. Since we had been planning on him getting a truck subsequent 12 months anyway, I believe that is what we’ll do. I have been working with the numbers with a purpose to pay the least quantity of curiosity on a mortgage.
Anyway, all of that has nothing to do with my Wednesday Weigh-In. I wrote a protracted put up yesterday about weight reduction/upkeep, so I’ll maintain this quick. At the moment’s weigh-in:
I used to be at 129.2, which is down from 129.8 final week. For the previous 5 weeks, my weight has been between 128 and 131–so I am completely happy that I have been sustaining! I used to be actually nervous about yesterday’s put up as a result of, nicely, what number of occasions have I written about upkeep? And what number of occasions have I felt like I figured it out? Ha! It is laborious to not be skeptical, however I do not wish to mainly plan to fail. I am simply going to do my finest.
Tomorrow is Jerry’s birthday; he’ll be 43. We do not have large plans, however I believe we’ll go to the dealership and he can take a look at vehicles. He is been wanting on-line, so he has a good suggestion of what he desires. It’s going to simply be good to have a second automobile once more; I do not care what it’s.
My mother and I are having a storage sale at her home on Friday, so I have been going by way of closets and pulling out stuff that I do not need/want; I like purging the entire issues which have develop into litter. We’ve not had a storage sale in years, and I am really wanting ahead to it. I do not anticipate to make a lot cash; I simply actually wish to eliminate stuff!
