Well today was a banner day!
1. Got an offer on my house that will actually let me walk away without owing any money. 
Yes, I had a long-term lease offer but they weren’t willing to secure it with a non-refundable deposit so we kept showing it. And you know what? It’s been a year since our divorce. I don’t want to keep having ties to Chapin. And I don’t want to run the risk of something going wrong with the house and/or the tenants. So I’m getting out!
2. Came home to a very unexpected $1,200 check! 
Remember that Bad Service Provider from way back? Well she was the most evil dentist. Gave me two unnecessary and horribly performed root canals while arguing with her daughter in the room. Then wouldn’t answer my calls and pages when my cheek swelled to the size of a grapefruit. Told me I was being a baby and made me see an ENT ($200) to rule out nasal issues. Finally had to see a new dentist and an oral surgeon and pay them to redo all the work she had done. New dentist encouraged me to report her to the dental board. Turns out it wasn’t her first rodeo. Eighteen months later she got sanctioned for several patients and was ordered to make restitution. I thought she had reimbursed me back in late 2007 but I came home to a check today so I guess the restitution order was separate, Woo-hoo! Now I can pay my mortgage while I wait for the house sale to close!
3. Mr. V asked me if I would go away with him for the weekend in June. Love a man who takes charge and makes plans. Sweet!! Not sure if it will work out but I love that he’s up for traveling and willing to pick up and go. Because he owns his own business and can do it from anywhere with an Internet connection, it makes life much easier. I really like that.
And now, a little Bruce Robison. This song has been playing on one of my Pandora stations and I love it. Usually the songs I post have some kind of message behind them. This one has no message. I just love this guy’s voice so much!! Adore his wife, but hadn’t really familiarized myself with his work. (Sorry, this is the only embeddable video I could find, darn it – the song is called Bad Girl Blues).
