five thousand shades of blue

did you miss me?
It's been what feels like a long while since I posted.
Not much has changed in the last week and a half. Appraisal came back, and the house appraised higher than a year ago, but not high enough to meet our estimate numbers. Things are still being worked on.
Bizarrely I received a statement in the mail from the EMC™ — this is bizarre becuase I haven't gotten one in months and months (probably close to nine). It's curiously blank except for the principal balance, which looks startlingly correct (i.e. not all kinds of heaped-on fees and charges). This coupled with finding out that the EMC™'s management staff has been gutted and replaced, and an "Executive Hotline" phone number established for people who have complaints against the company (
::raises hand!::)… Could be this was prompted by, oh, I don't know,
the federal government stepping in and investigating. I'm feeling a lot more optimistic.
The reunion picnic has been cancelled, but
the wonderful family who adopted our
former foster daughter have generously invited me to their home for the second weekend in August so that I can celebrate her first birthday in this country with them. I was flattered beyond words. There are in fact angels on earth.
And then my roommate asked if I wanted to attend the Twin Peaks convention with her the weekend following that one, up in northern Washington. Buh! Seems the friends she went with last year can't attend, and she's got these two tickets that she won. Suddenly I'm going all over the place! Whee!!!
Had another doctor's appointment (nothing's wrong, it was just time for a check-up). Weighed in in the 130s. I am a happy, happy girl. (I am however going to cheat on the Twin Peaks weekend because, yo, cherry pie.)
Life is getting better and better all the time.
::knocks on wood::
is
this just not enough…?
