Sure glad that one is over!

I am sure glad this past week is behind me.


I think I am mentally and physically exhausted.  Of course it probably didn't help that my doctor refused to refill one of my restless leg medicines Monday and they couldn't get me in until Thursday.


Thursday morning when he walked into the examination room I told him I didn't know whether to hug him or whip his ass!  He just laughed, as I told him it had been a miserable three days and nights.


I had not been in in eighteen months.  Bad news was I had gained 17 pounds since then.  Crazy thing is in March I was 24 pounds down doing the biotrust leptiburn diet.  Then it kind of went south, one day down the next day up, yo-yoing all over the place.  I was hopeful that Pepa's scale was malfunctioning, but I am sad to report they weren't.  I know I haven't  been real good the last month, but this is ridicules.  But I am due to take three weeks off about now.  We will see if I do better on my own.  He-he.  They have a money back guarantee if you will send your empty bottles back in.  Guess what!  I kept the bottles!


I have been working on an issue with TWC about some payroll taxes that were owed after I left the trucking company.  It was a different company and somehow I was listed as a partner.  I asked them to take my name off of it and they told me in 2005 I couldn't take myself off.  Only the person who put me on could take me off. 


I told the TWC man that was really warped.  If I submitted an application and put his name down as a partner there was nothing he could do?  He told me that was correct.


To continue my plight, the person who put me on, talked with the TWC man when he made a visit to the company's office, and the notes in TWC's system show that the person who put me on the account advised them it was a mistake and I should be taken off.


Then the TWC man retired without doing it.  Move forward to 2006, a lien was filed against my Abilene home unbeknownst to me.  Until April 16, 2014 when Carol was doing a mortgage modification.


I went to the TWC office and visited with a TWC office staffer and she immediately sent a request to Austin for them to look at this, and to check validity, and the amount owed.


It is a sad story of death and taxes.


I explained to the TWC staffer that we were working on a time line of April 18, meet the mortgage company's timeline.  Obviously the lien raised a red flag and they wanted it fixed immediately.  While Carol and I no longer live together, I don't want her to lose her home.


I made several request to the TWC staffer for a letter, telling that they were trying to figure out things, that I could forward to Carol and she could forward to the mortgage company.  I received no response.


Finally out of frustration I went on-line and found the executive director of the TWC, and his e-mail address.  I gave him a brief synopsis of everything and asked him who I needed to talk to.  Surprisingly, he responded within an hour and told me I would be contacted and within another hour a person from his staff e-mailed me telling me this would be figured out by the first of the week.


Oh.  And I carbon copied the local TWC staffer when I went over her head.  I bet she's not happy with me.


The moral of this story is, if you don't do me right I'll call your Momma and your Daddy!


Here is to crossing my fingers that they remove me from  their equation.


That was my big project of the week, although I had several.  Rian gave me one and it is five pages laying on my desk to fill out.


Oh well.  All in good time.


Let's have a weekend!


FATHER, I know you don't give me more than I can handle, but I think we are getting close.  YOU are the one driving this bus.  Let it be!
