Four – 12 - 17

Forgive me Fans for this is the forth (4) attempt to get a SECOND dispatch posted and we can only hope that the ambition, energy and stamina can see us thru until the last line. BTW, I know it is fourth. Por favor

I am thinking at the outset that I should have enough material but who knows. I can do a little spinning if I must but nothing readership cannot handle.

Of late I have been battling ‘demons’. My financials have nearly been causing me to lose sleep but when they do, I read or pray. Sometimes I pray first then read. Sometimes iit works, sometimes I get up & begin my day.

The Arts in Bloom show was a qualified success but marginal. I sold a decoy, passed out a lot of cards and met some nice people. The weather was not cooperative at all. Very windy and some artists, mostly painters, had work flying down the street at times of high gusts. The artist next to me on Saturday had a glass in a frame get blown over & break. She left early before closing.

If there is bad news it is that I now have a lot of inventory. The stories & memories will fade with time and the next big one should be MAST in November. Much less work setting up & tearing down and just hang here at the casa for the crowd to filter thru.

Yesterday was a kicker. I worked the early opening shift and was free at 10:00 for admin & infrastructure activities.

A letter was sent to Sidney alumni association with regrets not attending the next all-class wing-ding this summer. Not a big one but most members are turning a ‘magic’ age. Told them simply I ‘wasn’t feeling it.’

Sent a letter for the lawyer/attorney with a signed form to get part of my Aunt’s estate. Talk about organized crime of the highest order. Sons-of-bitches are dragging their feet with the payouts. A ‘partial distribution’. We are not talking a hige sum of money but the total estate is large and I am thinking that every month the interest is a tidy little chunk of change. I am thinking they are thinking we are chumps & don’t realize what’s going on. One of my cousins is the executor and some are not trusting HIM with handling of things. I can see it and feel it as well as this drags on and on & on.

Fired off a survey & a note to the RNC. Seeking ‘donations’ of course and I set them straight with a letter as well. The Republican National Committee is clueless and stupid if they think they can get green blood from THIS turnip.

A note to keep the property manager in the loop. Those sob’s are on a short rope as well. Look for that to be yanked soon & when the time is right. Ripping me off indeed.

The Battle of the Colonoscopy took an interesting turn. This could well end up a book or a movie. It will most assuredly be a comedy as in 'of errors'. Recalls my ‘pre-approval’ phone call and ‘Yep, good-to-go’ three (3) times by HD HR benefits gal ?

Got a call yesterday, long story albeit abridged version, needed my insurance group number & address from the card as they were having trouble with Aetna processing the claim. I gave them all the information reading it off of the card and they checked it out and called back in about 20 minutes and told be Aetna didn’t show me even WORKING for HD let alone being covered by any ‘plan.’ So this one is only beginning. I told the lady that how on EARTH could anyone in their RIGHT MIND even, think, Dream or HALLUCINATE that the Federal government take control and make something so complicated work ? NFW Jose and case at point.

Finally, I started a new money making vehicle. I contacted amazon studios about submitting a screenplay for a movie or series. I called, went to their website, created an account, download the ‘tool’ and started the project. Slow going to start but will gather momentum. Can’t say too much yet so as not to let the pussy out of the pouch if you get my drift.

I also called American Express and Liberyy Mutual to get some breathing room on finances that are squeezing at the moment. Nothing too serious but if you can send your membership, dues or a donation, it would go far right about now.

OK. At 800 words and didn’t think I was good for it.

Easter this weekend so don’t look for much. Off three days next week post-Easter at the earliest unless weather turns really, really bad & I get very, very bored which I would not count on.

Finishing up Five (5) of Hearts. A pretty good book and surprising me in ways I would not have thought at the start. ALL people have problems. NEWSFLASH !! Events change lives, bad things happen to good people, some people are not worth the shoes they are wearing.

That’s it for now. No image today just IMAGINATION.

Some gardening, wood working & Spring cleaning.

On to Procrastination Station. Population 1.
