[Lost]

HQ and I played phone tag for about a week. When we finally talked, I was told that the letter was a standard one sent as a last resort if there had been no response to a phone call. Call? What call? They thought someone in the office had already called me to discuss so it was just a misunderstanding.

They gave me an extension but it looks like I might not be able to meet that. I'll be sending HQ some money as a show of good faith and will ask them to be patient once again. No matter how long it takes or what happens with my membership, the debt will be paid. I don't think it is going to be a problem though.

I STILL have medical bills rolling in. I had what was supposed to be a minor procedure that turned into something a bit more than that and required second opinions and extra tests. Just when I think we're done, I turn around and another doctor or lab is sending me a bill! The extremely good news is that all tests have come back clear and I've been told that I do not have cancer.

Hubby and I are doing much better. It's not perfect but definitely improved. Funny how a couple of fights/discussions, done properly, can clear the air.

I'm not used to this much drama in my life at one time and it has been quite overwhelming. The cancer scare and financial mess forced me to put things in perspective though and my marriage seems to be getting stronger than before. It's true that when it rains, it pours, but I am definitely seeing some sunshine headed my way. I look forward to having all this behind me very soon.

Best wishes to you all.
