It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

Hectic

We just got home from a nice night time walk. It's been a strange, sort of hectic day, and the walk was a nice way to unwind.

We spent almost four hours trying to get my Well Care health insurance set up. I had it in Kissimmee and loved it but when we moved here and I tried to change our address with the company, I met with nothing but frustration. I called and they said I had to have a different plan because Polk County didn't offer the same plan as the rest of Central Florida. They promised to send me information on the plans offered here but instead they sent me a form to change plans without any info on the selections. I called again and they sent all the Central Florida info (which I already had) and the same plan change form to our old address. Once more I called and gave all the info over the phone. Then I got a letter saying thanks for changing from the Essential Plan to the Essential plan (?) and leaving my address in Kissimmee. Finally, I answered an ad for a 10 AM sales meeting here at the Davenport Perkins. I was at last able to move my coverage but had to sit through all the sales pitch and all the questions and wait my turn, so it was almost two before we finally left to do the other business of the day.

For some time, I have wanted to move my Wal-Mart stock to Edward Jones who handles other money stuff for us, but I never seem to remember to get over there with my statement for the transfer. This afternoon, we actually accomplished that while making bank and investment deposits in Kissimmee. That was a blessing.

It was almost four by the time we made it to the library where one of my books was overdue. They were having a book sale, so I had to browse and buy. Brand new, never opened hardbacks by James Patterson. Yum! I bought four at $2 each!

We got home, ate supper and I sat by the phone waiting for my fire-breathing attorney Mr. Marcus to call. They had made a phone appointment with me so we could talk over settlement issues. Just befor the window of time closed, the phone rang. I had my pen and pad all ready, but his office said he would need to call another time. He's hugely busy. It will be nice when everything is finished.

So, now I have a headache that threatens to force my skull open in several places just to relieve the pressure. Enough blogging for the night.
