cornerofmadnessI got a letter in the mail yesterday. I need to triple check the case number extra because I still can't quite believe it but according to them as of December I only owed 690$ left on the med school loan I was sued for. For newcomers here, I was sued back in 2006 after my first life changing injury and I lost my medical practice because of the nerve damage to my hand. I was unable to pay my loans and they sent a police officer out to serve a warrant on me for this (I'm like debtors prisons are a thing again?!?)
Long story short, one of the loans (as there were multiples) was one they chose to sue me over. The court awarded them 500$/month which I've been paying since. I thought I still had 15K so either a) I misread it b) the discounted some of it.
This is big for me. That's 6 grand back in my pocket. I can look at a better house because I have that 500 a month to play with now. Oh I still owe on other loans but that's one monkey off my back. that also means they'll no longer steal my tax refund (I have seen a tax refund since 2006 either except last year but I thought that might have been a covid thing) So I'm looking at a total of nearly 8 grand more a year in the bank.
I feel like celebrating.
Today, however, is not that day. It rained all night, turned to ice at 1 AM then snowed slightly. It was slushy mess. We had a 2 hour delay. I didn't get affected. I purposely put all my classes at 10 in the Spring so I miss nothing if there is a 2 hour delay.
In redoing the synopsis I learned I had a massive error in the novel that I somehow missed in editing. OMFG. Diane (the serial killer whose ghost we get) killed her husband in the beginning chapters but in the later chapters he survives. now I'm not sure which I like better but I changed the front So when I send in the synopsis I have to resend the novel and say hey sorry I'm an idiot.
I was glad to get up today. I had a weird dream. I was home with my family. Out in the woods of our property there was an old abandoned house (like late 1800s farm house style, which doesn't exist on our property). We could see it from the kitchen window. I step outside. Dad, his brother and my brother were outside the house. Suddenly it bursts into flames and my dad is engulfed in them. He's just standing there as if shocked he's on fire.
I'm screaming into the house to call 911 (I guess mom was around). I want to run to help Dad but can't tell if anyone hears me about getting 911. As I'm frozen there both my uncle and brother catch fire too. I'm screaming at them to stop drop and roll (does anyone even teach that any more?) They keep looking at me like I'm insane and like they're too shocked to move.
I woke up then. My brain is fun.

Date: 2023-02-02 01:51 am (UTC)The weather here has been scary well, at least driving-wise, since we've had iced roads for the past two days.
Your dream is a bit scarier than mine but I had one of Karma acting like a puppy and destroying everything in the house.
