Does life ever slow down?

Talked to the bank today. Have been refunded another $1500+, and the branch manager was very conciliatory and empathetic. Bought me a coke, gave me some ibruprofen from the med kit... {wry smile} Also wrote me a letter (and made many copies) that I can send to the mortgage company and our creditors in an attempt to mollify them somewhat.

Phone call from J's dad; possible health issues with him... P's dad is in the hospital with a possible heart attack... power out at the old house when I tried to work today, stupid storm, and I got soaked...

ARGH

all in all, a day of mixed good, bad, and life-as-usual news.

I want a vacation.
