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.

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