On the fly...

I am not moving and unpacking as fast as I'd like, but fast enough. Something happened today that brings immense relief. I got a check from the insurance company. I thought I'd have to dig out more paperwork for my yearly "No, I don't take Celebrex for arthritis, haven't we had this discussion?" Well, they found letters from previous years, apparently. The Celebrex was paid at the usual 80% of retail after deductible paid.

They paid their portion of the antibiotics.

I am almost weak-kneed at the reality of this. I still need to send in December meds, too. This means I can afford this year's meds! Only question now is, do I put in the checking account, or even the Credit union's savings (less than 1%) or should it go into my money market at my investment house?

UBS is apparently in trouble with the Fed over Americans who don't pay taxes on their money.

I understand the desire to cash it and dig a hole somewhere.

My life is weird, but still satisfying....

I am a writer, not a financial person, so take what I'm about to say with a grain of... creativity?

If at all possible, I'd split up the money. Some in the money market, some in savings, bulk in checking. That way if something heinous goes wrong in one place, there's some back up somewhat more secure than digging a hole in the backyard (which may be difficult to do in an apartment...)

Glad things are evening out for you. I've been sending mental energy and thoughts your way.

I'm thinking along the same lines. If my financial house goes belly up, there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth....

I have ignored all lists and LJ -- I hope you have found a job. Seems like many couples I know, one was laid off several months ago -- and the other laid off recently. The wife of a mid-manager programmer (here in W's neighborhood) is offering her tailoring services to bring in money. She did some alterations for W, and he is pleased.

I'm still waiting to hear about a long term temp assignment. It's been a struggle, but I think it's going to be okay.

Good. I relate to the struggle. I'd like us all to relax enough to be able to write!

I believe that's the combined birthday wish over candles of every creative born this month (heck year). And I know my writing would be more "productive" if I didn't have to worry about setting aside time each day to look/apply for jobs.

Where did you get the cute dragon mood indicators? I don't like the default emoticons. Thanks.

I have a paid account, this being promotion as well as something that got me back into writing. Dragons are one of the emoticon choices. I think I can make up a few, too, but have not pursued it.
