My mortgage came up for renewal at the beginning of the month. I contacted a Mortgage Broker who found me a GREAT deal, thru a different lender. Everything was going along smoothly~until my bank decided they wouldn't accept part of the agreement. Well, that's business, I understand that. But I don't understand them not getting back to my Notary until 20 minutes or so before the close of the business day, the day before a 4 day long weekend. Which added all kinds of stress and many $$$ of interest and extra payments for me.
The other day I received a letter from my bank, stating they'd paid out my mortgage. Apparently I'd overpaid, and they'd refunded the 14 cents to my account! Flippin' bank. Their dithering around cost me $2200, but thanks for the 14 cents. And yes, I'm in the process of changing banks...

CONTACT LENS CRISIS!
Nine days ago I had a run in with an ornery contact lens! It was flipping around on my fingertip, and when I finally got it into my eye, it migrated right up under my lid~I swear it was in my brain! I couldn't get it out. My co-worker tried, but she couldn't get it out either. By the end of my work-day it was really irritating me~one of the Docs froze my eye and fished out.......half a contact!! He looked some more, but couldn't find the other half, and of course my eye was frozen, so I couldn't feel if it was still there. And that's how the rest of the week went~some irritation, but just as many days when my eye felt OK. Tonight I rubbed my eye and next thing I knew something was falling into my eyelashes, and there it was, the elusive half contact in a blob of eye goo. My Daughter was grossed out, but I was thrilled! My eye feels so much better, but I'll be continuing the contact lens rest for awhile longer...

ELVIAGE PEARL..
This is exactly how winter should look,
and I can't tell you how much I love this photo by Jennifer Squires.
So peaceful, so quiet, so beautifully winter!
This year, on the 'Wet Coast', our winter has been incredibly mild.
We had the warmest January on record!
So I long to look out the window and see snow on the ground
and the bare trees silhouetted against the sky
instead of the usual grey skies and rain, rain, rain.
And once this is framed, I'll be able to see winter as I like it, everyday!

TRAMPLED..
Saturday my Daughter was tossed off her horse.
She landed in front of her
and took a front hoof to her face.
She's stitched up,
red and swollen and bruised.
and very, very lucky.
We are so grateful that her injuries weren't worse.
So, this is probably my best Valentines gift ever~she will be OK.
