Hurricane Ida (CAT 4) made landfall in NOLA

 The aftermath of the storm is getting worst by the day and now the storm is moving toward NYC....

NOLA has now power, available food, clean water, it's over 90 degrees everyday, this is going to get crazy and very bad....oh yeah, we are still having a pandemic in this country...SMH









20 year war is over!

 President Biden ended this war (which never should've happened), these are the last photos of the pull out....these iconic photos are of the last flight and last soldier walking out of Afghanistan - amazing.

James gets upset bc I feel overwhelmed

 So, basically...he blames me for only wanting money....that's all. so he said he plans to quit trying to get SS disability and get a job...I told him no bc he have gone this far with getting him approved. 


So, now I have to hide my feelings, avoid blaming him for the situation we are in, be more patient than I have been and now take over all the bills. which he hates when I say something like that....


I'm at a lost and trying to be understanding and patient...so, guess I should no longer care about paying our bills....we will see how long this lasts.

James is now on my insurance

 Increasing my monthly payments to $700, an increase of 500 a month....today felt overwhelmed, frustrated, sad, depressed, angry, multiple anxiety attacks and sleepness night.....when will it get better?


Still no word on his pension (if he gets it) and no word on his social security disability (if he gets approved)...so many "ifs" in our lives right now....not sure how much more I can take......

Esurance refuned - $700 to come in ten days

 Also, asked Jaime about potentially requesting a home equity loan and he said NO!


He was done doing or working on anything with the house...he said it was strange to hear him say that, so I told him I would make a note of it- in case he brought up anything regarding house hunting/selling/improving.

GEICO car insurance starts tomorrow...and Zoom call for Pension

Let's hope this works and gives us a break for once...

 

Jaime and I attended a call to get sign off on his pension, after he uploaded the docs to the appropriate portal to get moving on receiving his pension, so we can pay off the cars and hopefully have some funds for the mortgage....fingers crossed!
