STARTING JANUARY....

Well as usual nothing goes smoothly.  For the last two days I've been on the telephone with the new insurance company which has lost me in their system.  Therefore, nothing, including my physical therapy for my knee, has been approved.  Literally hours on the phone with the prerequisite disconnects, hang ups, and idiot people that don't know anything.  How fun.  I think today I might have actually resolved a few things.  I'm hoping that if they do what they said they would do tomorrow I'll be up and running and maybe can get approval for what I need.  I'm three weeks behind in the therapy department, although I've been doing some exercises at home.  The knee is okay except at night when it burns and hurts.  I'm thinking that it is healing. I do have good range of motion.

A friend of mine spent the night with me last night.  She ran away from home, as her husband was being a jerk and verbally abusive.  This has been such an ongoing problem for the forty years that I've known them.  Nothing changes.  She leaves him, then goes back, feels sorry for him, then hates him.  God, you would think when your in your eighties things would quiet down.

Dez came down yesterday to see me in the afternoon.  Again he traveled for hours to get to Orange County.  He was leaving for Mississippi early this morning and I just had an email from him where he was in the process of changing planes to get wherever it is he is landing.  He has been making an effort to see me at least once a week for the last three weeks.  I'm sure it won't last as his projects take him all over the country and then some.  He'll know about the Morocco job by the end of the month.  He is asking for a lot and they may not go for it.  He says if they don't he isn't taking it. I really wonder if he actually wants to go on a  job that is three to ten  years.

I find it interesting that there are two guys that either text or call me everyday.  Not so Dez, but then he is really a busy boy.  He does what he can, but just doesn't get the picture  His whole take on things is optimism and joy and lets have fun.  I am on the other side of the coin as Miss pessimism and glass half empty. We kind of balance each other out. Oh  well, you can't help who you want.  And I do have the, I want what I want when I want it attitude.

Today has been a phone day with banks and insurance companies.  I have a lunch planned with a girlfriend and dinner with my ex neighbor.  We are going to play catch up since the last two months have been crazy for all of us.

The year is getting off to a running start.
