Like I said, when things go wrong, everything seems to go wrong all at once. This has been very true this week. We aren't moving after all. It seems that renting a two bedroom apartment at the place we used to live isn't going to be an option after all. I called yesterday to find out when I should come in to do the paperwork and give them the deposit and they told me it wasn't going to be possible despite the promise of whomever it was I spoke to in early June. I tend to want to see all of these moving problems we are having as signs that maybe this isn't such a good time to go and mess up our grand plan after all.

What to do now? I guess try to find the bright side of that situation. If we stay here we will be able to afford to decorate more and buy more of the stuff we want for the place. If we stay we may be able to actually take a real vacation later in the year or do something really fun for our anniversary. It doesn't make me feel any better about the area we live in or the people we live around. It doesn't make me feel better knowing the kids won't be able to go outside and play here. We will just have to make more of an effort trucking their bikes and scooters and outdoor toys to a place where they can.

The finance department at the hospital finally called to tell me to put my whole nightmare with them, the doctor and the insurance company into writing and then mail it in to the director of finance so they could review it and see if they can help me out. That gives me a small amount of hope regarding that whole mess. They may tell me they can't do anything for me. At least I will have exhausted every option though. Sometimes in life you just get screwed. This may be one of those times. I don't know.

I have finally ordered my bright red queen size sleeper sofa for the second bedroom. It was a mess trying to get the account straightened out so that we could do it. It seems the company we were buying it from switched finance companies and didn't bother to cancel their customers accounts or open new ones for them with the new finance company. Therefore, we had to reapply and be approved with the new finance company to order this sofa. We soon found out that having a huge chunk of available credit left on our credit report for the account that was no longer accessable to us was causing us to get approved for a lower amount. It took several days of chaos to get that taken care of. Beware all you folks with closed credit accounts. It may show up on your credit report that you have all this existing available credit that you don't actually have. It lowers your credit rating. In other words, it screws you too. I am waiting for them to call me to tell me I can't have it since it was available online but discontinued in the store when we went to look at it.
