Posting from York, Pennsylvania. The in-laws were kind enough to let me blog.
So, much much much to talk about, but I don't have the energy, to be perfectly frank. I'll try to highlight, though...
- My car situation is dire. I finally brought it in and an insurance adjuster came out and said I may have engine damage and demanded to know what's wrong with me for waiting so long to bring in my car. My only reply was "I don't know, I suck. I didn't think it was a problem beyond a rattling exhaust and a slightly leaky oil pan." Apparently my negligence may have made the problem worse than it already was and the car could be a total loss. And my insurance company could view that as not entirely their responsibility because I didn't report it right away, which would be big, big trouble for me. I'm kind of broke and I can't really afford to just not have a car anymore. Prayers, please, prayers.
- Our Escrow situation is ridiculous. We made it very clear to them that we wouldn't be available to sign or take care of anything this week, so, "are you sure you've got everything you need from us? Completely, truly sure?" Well, yesterday they called to inform us that I need to prove that I really did have mutual funds and I really did get a refund for all my shares and I really did deposit that check in order to write a cashier's check for our down payment. Apparently, bank statements and transaction histories and account info from my mutual fund company isn't enough... they need photocopies of the actual check (which I made, believe it or not, I just didn't take those copies with me to Ohio/PA... why would I?). So, our Escrow close is in danger. Hosers.
- Plane rides out here were fine. Since neither of us had slept the night before, we were dog-tired when we flew into Cleveland. Big, sleepy naps all around, which doesn't make us very good guests of my family, but I don't think they minded.
- Helped an old man stuck in a ditch after being driven home from the airport. Kind of a long story, but it culminates in a soaking wet Jer yelling at an eighty-year-old man in the rain, "DUDE! COME ON! I SAID I'LL HELP YOU! WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU! DO YOU NEED A PUSH OR NOT?!"
- Drove to PA yesterday morning. The Moyers (Carey's folks) threw a little welcome bash for us, which was nice, but I had to spend half of it on the phone with car insurance and loan companies.
And that takes me to this morning. More to come.
