I'll be a monkey's moving grandma

I finally have closure regarding an issue that's been lurking in the back of my mind for several months now (and in the knots in my stomach). A $2,000+ medical bill, to be exact. I will refrain from going off on a spiel regarding the need for universal health care right now, but I will say that I managed to amass such a huge medical debt due to my lack of health insurance. After completing an absurdly huge pile of paperwork appealing for financial assistance quite some time ago, I finally heard back today that I qualify for 100% assistance, which is such an enormous relief. Not only will the over $2,000 debt be forgiven, I will also be refunded the money I have already paid! That, of course, will all go toward paying for school and moving expenses (more on that in a minute), but I am soooo grateful for this unexpected help.

Also, moving! After being dealt a few disappointments during the past few months' house hunt, I can officially say that I will be moving into an absolutely amazing house with amazing people at the end of the month! I have dubbed it SKEAV House, thereby serving both my love of anagrams and of my new roommies (Samantha, Emily, Alex, and Victoria). I shall post pics when I'm feeling slightly more ambitious....

  2. Oh, just the usual--an ER visit after getting into a huge car wreck on the Massachusetts turnpike. ugh.

    I'm going to do a drive-by on my own house tomorrow and get an exterior photo because I just realized I don't actually have one of those! Then I will get some house piczzz posted stat! (Eek, a medical joke :O)
