Ye old update

L & G – I hope your all doing well.  Friday was truly a day off for me, but I had so much running to do and things got added to my schedule last minute.  Thankfully everything came together.

I met with the Estate Attorney and we executed a document that will give me legal power to act on my partners estates behalf.  This was mainly done in case the union didn’t want to cooperate.  The document gives me surviving spouse benefits from the estate and I hold a priority claim, which means I would be paid first.

As we were executing the document I received word via e-mail from the union, they have no problem converting the check and tax reporting to my name.  All of the other conditions are the same.  I printed out the document and had it notarized on Friday.  A copy has been sent to the union and now they have to get a check in the mail.  Can’t wait until that arrives.  I will certainly make a copy and might even frame it.  Damn that was a lot of fucking work!  Glad it paid off.

I have prepared my dismissal motion.  I will be running it by an attorney friend of mine.  I think I might have to take time off to file the motion with the court but I am going to ask if I can’t just mail them a copy.  I mean is it about money or what? 

I learned from the Estate Attorney that we can open an Estate at any time but it will probably cost me $3 thousand to do it.  Not something that I feel I need or want at this time.  However, there may be a need for it in the future.

My car checked out perfect, oil changed and tires inflated and rotated.  Were back on the road.  I’ve been all over the place yesterday and today.  I thought about making a trip for you know what but talked myself out of it.  Might do it tomorrow if I am really bored.  I’ve got most of my Sunday work done, with the exception of laundry and cleaning the basement.  I shampooed the carpet upstairs today, clean up was a bitch just like last time.  I even vacuumed ahead of time, didn’t help much.  Fur was everywhere.  Ick.

Made it to the doctor and they had me down for a physical, all I was aware of was blood work.  I wasn’t prepared for the additional pain of having him play with my nuts and ass.  Thankfully he didn’t.  We talked and I told him about my partner.  He told me about his dad.  We both share in common that we lost someone this year because we were forced to make a choice to remove life support.  His dad was in a car accident and on life support for a month.  It really sucks to have to make that choice but you have to know in your heart that you did all you could and your decision was the right move, it is what they would have wanted.  I am not saying it’s easy to live with the reality.  My issues aren’t with the decision but the fact that he passed away and we can’t make any more memories together. 

So I told the doc about my feet and he said that it sounded like Neuropathy but he said your pretty young to get that.  He tested my reaction to see if I could feel light touch, it was a little difficult but I did feel it.  He thinks there might be some nerve damage from when I whacked my foot over a year ago but a year is pushing it.  This might get better and might not.  His diagnosis prompted me to do some investigating and research.  I think I have been unknowingly poisoning myself.  If you have high levels of certain B vitamins you can cause Neuropathy.  I’ve been taking a multi vitamin plus a B complex stress vitamin.  Together I get loads of vitamins but I think some might be in the toxic level.  I skip them on the weekend and other than feeling tired, life is okay.  So I am trying an experiment and cutting back to just a multivitamin to see if that does the trick.  I can only hope that if this is the cause that I haven’t done permanent damage.  My guess is in a week or two I should know.  That should be long enough for my body to get rid of anything that has built up.  The doc took blood and I should have the results next week.  I have managed to gain weight, just a couple pounds.  With the change in my diet and stress hormones kicking in, it’s no wonder I am up.  Hopefully I can manage to not blow up like the Good Year Blimp!

I had my meeting today with the Bankruptcy attorney.  Turns out that while my guys attorney lacks on how to treat people and to explain things in simple terms, the advice he has given me is unfortunately correct.  So I am better off letting a sleeping rabid dog lye than kicking him and stopping the case.  If I kick the dog (metaphor referring to the creditors) it will bite me for sure.  In other words they will take the house.  I am far better off just paying the monthly extortion money and letting the case complete normally at which time the creditors will have no legal claim.  The part that sucks is this will take another 36 to 40 months to complete.  Really! 

I talked with the mortgage company on Friday.  They needed more paperwork, what a surprise!  I got that completed and sent in.  They wanted my name on some of the paperwork, despite the fact that my name is NOT on the mortgage.  Hell I will do most anything they want, I just need to get this process completed so they payments are lowered.  Then hopefully making the mortgage payment and the bankruptcy payment will be more affordable. 

I had dinner with my friends at the expensive place they wanted to go.  The food was crap, I said it was okay but it’s not someplace I will be going back to, unless it’s with them and they are paying.  Yuk!  I did have a good time and got them all caught up on what has been going on.

I’ve gotten some hits from the Gay Dating Site.  Guys that want to meet me.  Yeah, they are guys I don’t want to meet just based on looks and habits I see in their profiles.  I did update my profile and hit on a couple of guys, we shall see if anything comes of it.  However in a couple weeks my subscription will end.  Unless I manage to find Mr. Right in a short period of time I will be done with the on-line dating scene for now.  Not to say I won’t come back to it but paying for a service well that is something that I will think twice before I act.  There are some cute guys on this site but I doubt they want an old man like me.  In gay years 41 is like your 70…most people think of you as dead.  I want a younger guy or someone in my age bracket. 

Speaking of subscriptions, I signed myself up for Birchbox.  It’s a site that sells grooming products and clothes.  Guys can get a monthly subscription where they gather up samples of stuff you like, based on your profile for $20 per month.  Gals you can get in for $10.  If your interested put a .com after Birchbox and check it out.  I saw an advertisement of them during Suits this past Tuesday.  I can’t wait until the first box arrives.  It’s like paying to get a present.  The anticipation builds until it finally arrives.  Then I just hope it’s stuff I will actually use. 

Oh I cooked 2 hamburgers today on the George Foreman Grill.  Super easy but the grease tray wasn’t positioned properly so I had a little mess to clean up.  Outside of that all was good.  I looked in the freezer tonight and man, it’s like I went on vacation last week.  There is plenty of food for next week.  However, I will be getting some more White Chicken Chili, that was good stuff and maybe even some Sour Cream to go with it.  Damn I am making myself hungry.

So I was looking through Pay Per View and I am proud to say that my cable company now offers Gay Adult Pay Per View Porn.  I never ever thought I would see the day when I could get a porn movie from the comfort of my living room.  Some are new but mostly it’s old stuff and there isn’t a whole lot of choices.  Just thought it was interesting that it was there.  I didn’t order anything.  I really want to watch The Call, it’s about a 911 call and the movie has Holly Berry in it.  However, they want $6 to watch it and I am thinking well I will just wait until the DVD comes out or it’s available on Netflix.  Unless I am really content starved I don’t think I will be giving in even if it’s only $6.

So time to call it a night.  Momma and company need their medicine and I am about ready to pass out for the night.  Talk with you peeps later.
