So summer has been here for a whole 5 days (school for the Little Lady ended on the 30th) and I was quite on top of my chores. This week things are falling apart because it's that time of the month again. Yesterday I was so fatigued that I passed out on the couch and didn't hear a thing for like 3 hours. After that I was still tired but decided to read instead. My book was very heavy feeling even though it isn't heavy at all. Today I am feeling a bit better but nothing is going to get done again. My fault, I know. I should put money aside for Midol but I don't. Perhaps I should look into something a bit more natural to help me with my issues. Fatigue and some emotional distress (a touch of depression and sometimes more)... shouldn't be hard to find something to counter them.
So the Little Lady is having her going away party tonight, featuring brownies. Mmm.. brownies sound so good right now. Anyway, she is abandoning mommy and going to Ohio and Alabama for the summer. She'll spend a month and a half in Ohio and then a couple of weeks in Alabama. She is flying to Ohio and will be getting a ride to and from my sister's in Alabama.
I have no idea what we are going to do while she is gone, but I'm sure we'll figure something out to do.
I also have to figure out information regarding the pay out of life insurance policies in California. In Alabama it turns out that anything over $3,000 has to go through probate court and you have to have a lawyer to represent you (so with a $10,000 dollar policy, you have to have a lawyer - cheapest is between 3 and 4 thousand - then court and filing fees) and then with the costs of the funeral home there'd be nothing left. I have to find out if there is anything like that stupid law in California. I asked Honey's mom but she didn't know and I've done some Googling but I don't think I am using the right search terms. I thought of asking someone who I worked previously with but being as she no longer works in insurance I don't know if she can give me any good information. I've thought about calling local insurance agencies and asking who I would call for such information. I just don't want to take up someone's time when I am not a customer though. We always had issues with people calling and asking questions and legally we couldn't answer anything because they weren't our client.
Well I am off to go work on the portfolio some more. Try to anyway, I feel like crap. Laters.
