Tick Tock, Tick Tock...

Tick Tock, Tick Tock...

Well, the settlement is getting ready for "disbursement", and ducks are getting into rows, etc. Last week, our attorney paid off over $30,000 in unpaid/defaulted medical bills and credit cards (which were basically charged up with medical bills) and not having that hanging over our heads is a big relief. I can, perhaps soon, answer the phone again!

Mop, $27.99
This week, the attorney sent me a small check to cover a few current expenses and buy a few needed things... the first thing I bought was this:

Can Opener, $9.99
Yes, a mop! As I am certainly tired of getting down on my hands and knees to clean the floors.  The second thing I bought was this:

Yes, a can opener, as mine is being held together with duct tape. People have been asking me, "what's the first thing you're going buy?" and so, there you have the answer. A mop and a can opener! And believe me, it was nice to just buy something we need and not worry about having enough money for it. So, to celebrate, I also bought this third thing:



Frozen Pizza, $4.19





Which is something I never splurge on, but I wanted to celebrate our new found financial security. Unfortunately, the pizza wasn't that great...









Then I thought, all those goodies are for me and not Bob, so the fourth thing I bought was for Bob:


2012 Toyota Sienna XLE wheelchair van with side ramp, 8890 miles, $47,900.00























Of course, I didn't actually write a check for that, I just signed the paperwork and the money is coming from the attorney's trust fund where it's waiting to be transferred to the special needs trust fund. And I really tried to dicker that price down, without luck, but the dealer finally threw us some freebies to sweeten the deal -- which are: 1) a free extended factory warranty on parts and labor for seven years and 2) free E-Z lock for locking Bob's wheelchair in the van. We will be able to pick it up next Friday!!

$11.00 with coupon + delivery & tip
After that, I decided to buy the real deal, and ordered this:

But, of course, I can't eat all that myself (and Bob doesn't eat) so I shared it with our "boys":





Zenith was invited to our "pizza party" but she wasn't interested....

Tick tock.
