had to go to Medi-cal court today, to protest the $44k lein on the house that I'm inheriting. They were being harda$$es, and then the lady asked me why it was so important to me to keep the house.

I totally lost it - tears, snot - you nme it (and I was wearing white and praying my makeup didn't run) and then they softened.

It looks like they are going to cut me a deal, if not forgive all of it. I'll hear in like 30-45 days.

I have never resorted to tears before, and hadn't planned on making that my approach, but apparently it worked.

today... it's gonna be like 104 again, and I'll prolly whine later that it's too hot, but I've been at work since 6am, it's not too bad right now.

Also - I've had my amazing coffee of the day, and I'm wearing underoo's which seems to make everything ninja kick-ass.

I'm more excited for Mickey than the good news I just got.

I got off the phone with HP's IT and they are sending me the new harddrive. should have it by Sept 4th. For those of you who didn't know, my harddrive crashed the morning of 8/8/8 - clueys surgery.

The guy I talked with from HP is in Costa Rica. had a radio voice and is from Canada. Eh! Costa Rica sounds wonderful for a vacation....he says people come there, go back home and sell everything and move back there.

not having to go to the fair this year. I'm not a huge fair person in general, don't know why but I'm not. Anyways I suffer each year and go because the kids like it and so does Mike. This year it would have been agonizing for me since I can't even do my grocery shopping with out my leg and groin feeling like it's on fire. But Mike doesn't have time to go so yippy...I get to have a repreve for a year. :sillygrin: :sillygrin: :sillygrin:

I was gonna suggest...

The booth of the guys that sell those personal scooters is just outside the Food building - at least four blocks walk from any entrance. Is that a good location for those who tire easily, or miserable locale for those already in pain? I dunno.

ok - so saturday I got what may be the best gift ever.

ever.

that's right - I said ever.....

I have been working with this guy for the whole 7 years that I've been at my job. Occasionally on the side, he'll bring me projects for his contracting company etc - and ask for help. I do them, he buys me lunc, starbucks gift cards, etc no big deal.

So saturday, he comes to me, and says - I have a problem, I have to do my traffic school before tuesday morning on line and I need help to get this done. So I help him.

So later he comes up to see me, and says I have something for you - I just want to say thank you, cause you are always there to bail me out, and I don't feel like lunch or coffee is a big enough thank you for everything that you do for me.

So he gave me a cardlock (essentially a gas card) for his personal company. I can go down the street, and fill up with gas when ever I want now, and he'll pay for it.

I was so shocked I almost cried, and I said -- you do know I drive an explorer right? He says, that will prolly be the cheapest one he pays for gas on...

I'm doing cartwheels still - Gas costs me about $150 a week, which I totally can't afford with everything else. This is like a GODSEND.

It pays to be nice to people.

bummer though that we have to pay for all the court costs and over night stays in jail....maybe they planned on jailtime so they don't have to pay for a hotel night.

lets get the tax payers to fork out for our vacation!

Funny you should mention that:

We had an eccentric family that moved next door to us for a few years. Their oldest daughter was a year ahead of me in school. Their poor family moved close to 16 times while growing up.

She wrote a book about traveling abroad gypsy-style and falling in love with a prison inmate, amongst other bizarre adventures...
