TAX DAY & stuff
I remember how I used to dread tax day. Not anymore!
When we went fulltime Rving and got rid of all our “stuff”, life
became so much simpler. I had our taxes done & filed on the
internet over a month ago and got the refund in a few days. I've seen
all the “ naysayers” warnings about delays and IRS problems but
never had any issues. If I believed, for a minute, all the
negativity, I woulda been “ scared “ !! This is the 5th
year with no problems.
What a weird week. I'm still working on the new
insurance headaches. I had to fax a reimbursment request to Payflex 3
times ! Finally they have all the data. Today I checked their
internet site and had some figures show up that I didn't comprehend.
Another call was needed to get that reconciled. Hopefully all will be
well. Time will tell. I await the $$$$ showing up in the checking
account !! Update---4-17---money finally went into the checking
account.
Another piece of business is dealing with Michigan's
Secretary of State's office. I had to fill out a lot of forms to
reregister the Cadillac we bought here in Florida . Michigan has a
special unit to handle residents that are out of state.( They call it
Unit 18. I wonder if it's related to Area 51 ??? LOL) We're in limbo
with the car at the moment while waiting for plates. I UPS'd the
forms on Wed 4-8, 2 day service, and sent them a return mailer, also
2 day service. The tracking number going there shows 3 days
delivered, which is tolerable. My check to them was cashed on Monday
4-13 but still no sign of the return tracking number. Hmmm, so I
called them and it's all in the system. The gal I talked to explained
that budget cuts had made their Lansing office lose their mailbox and
they have to get their mail from some remote Post Office !! WHAT THE
HELL !! Makes no sense to me !! I guess eventually it'll all work out
( I Hope ). Update—4-16 Thurs., I called them again...now they want
an Original title, even though the directions say “ COPY”.
Another 2 day mailing done Friday.
We're still waiting for the Cadillac driver's door
security switch which is coming from Utah. It's a plastic micro
switch that Cadillac doesn't make anymore but an out of state, Utah,
dealer there had one in stock. ( patience Charlie, patience !! )
Update---4-19---part came in and got installed..no false alarms all
weekend !!!
All of the above has made beers taste much better at
happy hour! Imagine they'll get better once all of this is done with.
Ms Heather and I are getting our yearly checkups done
over the next 2 weeks.. I'm always glad when that's done. I'm not
expecting any suprises unless my new insurance fails.
We're both starting to get hitch itch a bit. We're
staying here in SW Florida thru the end of May. That's a month
longer than usual. Gonna see how we handle the heat.
REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS
TIME GOES BY QUICKLY !!
Charlie & Heather
