end of summer updates
well, again I haven't written in awhile...
After I last wrote, we were getting ready to go see my mom in Jacksonville,NC where she is in a nursing home...That morning we got up to a flooded basement...so, we had to stay,, called insurance, and plumber...Both came out that day and next day...with the insurance check we got we made an extra house payment..God works in mysterious ways! now we are only one month behind...but they continue to not want to help us..just this week we were again denied for the loan mod...they told us as long as we were behind and in the hole each month we would never qualify!! What??makes no sense...we were told that was why people like us could qualify for it..job loss, behind on payments,etc...That's what Obama said!! its so frustrating!! Our second mortgage co. gave us a loan mod in 2 days!!! and we were behind with them too!! what's up with that?? who do you contact to find out if your mortgage co is jerking you around??/ they have to report to someone do they not?? sigh----
Good news is I got a job yesterday...Its part time like I wanted, no nights and no weekends..and only about 3-4 hrs a day, but every bit helps..I'm on Emergency unemployment now and my understanding is that that runs out in Oct... so we are still fighting to save our house as it stands now... oh and our first mortgage told us we needed to pare our bills down since we are in the hole every month..ok, well, we went to a credit manager and He told us there was no where to cut back!! we are paying only what we have to right now-utilities,insurance,gas,food,stuff like that that you cant pare back.. other good news, my husband and my daughter got some help to be able to go to Doctor and get meds now...Ours is no cost to go to Doctor and daughter has to pay $5 each visit.Husband is diabetic, so he got his meds for free and my daughter is on a couple of meds that are free now too..that is a big help there..and our past doctor bills were covered and paid also which was almost at $1000.00.....now just owe the dentist $500.00...dont know when that will get paid...as no extra money at all. And here in NC taxes went up!! are they trying to kill us??? Our property taxes we owe this year are almost $2000.00!!!!! and sales taxes went up too... and now Duke Energy is wanting to raise its cost??? great...people are struggling..what do they want?our blood??? Christmas this year will be bleak..I just basically want my family together.. still trying to figure that out..with property taxes due right in Jan. that kills us..Christmas isnt about getting anyway..its about Christ and his birth.. we love each other and have fun as a family..that's what matters..The Black Friday list has already come out...those that have $ to spend-have at it...we don't.... yesterday in the mail we get 3 different letters from the county ..we owe $5 per cat we now have ..taxes on our animals!! I thought we came to America to flee Taxes on everything !! and for Religious freedom!! good grief... tax this, raise this, what next???
have I said enough??? No wonder I was depressed earlier this week...
I was going to leave for the beach today with 3 good friends. they were going to take care of me so I could go.yesterday evening we get a call from one of them, my really good friend(I call her my Sis!) and her Dad was in ICU.. She had to call 911 earlier as he fell twice...so weak.... he had been sick all week but thought he was getting better... he was so dehydrated that they had to use a force bag to get the fluids in him. he took 4 bags I think..anyway, the rest of us told her we were not leaving her behind to go on to the beach..She wanted us to go on..can you believe that??She is so unselfish..I told her to shut up!! we were staying to be with her and the beach would still be there whenever...She couldn't help it that her dad got so ill...they weren't even sure he'd pull through last night! and she wanted us to go on.. No way!!my husband and I went over to hospital after she called and stayed. we took her to get something to eat. she went to be with her mom last night. her mom is diabetic and confined to the house..She has to be carried several times a week to receive dialysis. And she needs constant care..my friend is an only child so everything falls on her. She is a wife, and mother to two teens herself and works.. talk about having a full plate.. she does..
anyway I talked to her about 9 this morning and her dad stablizied during the night. they want to move him into a room out of ICU and regulate his meds. he lost so much weight...Will find out more later this afternoon..
my daughter started College in late August and she has adjusted well. Its our local community college, but she is doing great!! She has already aced a couple of tests! next fall she will transfer to UNCC. She has a new "Boy friend" lol says she doesn't want to be involved with anyone right now and they are just friends. I like him he is very nice.
Son has new girlfriend this year at Appalachian. he loves his apartment and having his own room!
I'm glad they are both settling in well.
well gotta run for now..maybe I will post again before another month rolls by! or two!

the ups and downs of baby Jemma
They were supposed to take her off the ventilator Wednesday. We found out yesterday that:
When the doctors checked Jemma, they saw some lung improvement. The have decided to keep her on the ventilator.
And so we are on another up with baby Jemma. Let's pray that this one stays going up and up and up and that there are no more downs for this little fighter!

health updates on my friends n fam
Baby Jemma is still in the hospital and on a respirator. They are still trying to get her to finish her development so she can be deemed healthy enough to live off the respirator and go home with her mom.
My mother in law is in the "we don't know whether or not to do surgery" floor of the hospital now. She is looking a lot better, but still in heaps of pain. They might remove the spleen if this keeps up. My father in law is by her side most of the time, so pray for him, too.
My friend is back in jail. He who was in the drug rehabilitation. I was writing to him for like a year while he was in there. Apparently, he decided to take matters into his own hands and leave the halfway house that they placed him in after the drug rehab portion was over. They put him back in jail for 30 days then he should be able to return to the halfway house. Hopefully, he will get transferred to a different one so this won't happen again.
Haven't heard any more about my cousin Timmy.
My dad is doing better. We saw him yesterday...he turned another year older!
My friend Tianna had a big baby the other day. It was nearly 9 lbs. A cute little girl. I am happy to say that they are both doing well.
That's the long and short of the updates right now.

Ike Recovery Update: Still Without Power
Security Level: Low-Mobile (Public / Everyone)
Hey Mindsay, what's going on? I'm still without power, so I'm updating my blog using my battery-hungry mobile phone.
Like I mentioned, there is still no electricity where I live, but the neighboring communities do... wtf? But I'm cool with it, since I'm already used to it. The smell of candles and the taste of warm coke / water reminds me of my childhood back in The Philippines. So living without electric power ain't nuthin' new. It's kinda fun and challenging actually, for a change, to not depend on the internet so much... f*ck, who am I kidding? I'm having Mindsay withdrawals *shivers and vomits*.
Tomorrow, I'm going to find a place that has internet connection and a plug to charge my laptop. I need to do laundry as well. I might just go to Cynthia's house for that on Friday. But tomorrow, I'll be going with her to the doctors.
Anyway, please don't think I'm ignoring your comments and replies. I'll get to them as soon as our power is cut back on. Or better yet, when I bring my laptop to a place with wireless internet connection. Sorry for the delay.
