*snork*BRIzzzzzz*honk*shnrrrrk*
Mar. 5th, 2018 05:45 pmI've been up and down out of bed since my last post, but only for a few hours at a time. Today, my head is still just as stuffed up and drippy, but for the first time in a week I don't feel completely miserable and bogged down with it.
Among hte mail I got last month that I don't recall if I mentioned here was one from what's claiming to be an attorney for my (deceased) father's youngest sister. It says she deceased in August, and there's some property she held title to with my grandmother. They'd like to sell it, but they need permission from everyone who might have interest. I would inherit 1/10th of the value of the piece of property. (1/2 was my grandmother, who had 5 children; as the only inheritor of one of her children, I would get the 1/5 that was my dad's part, which is 1/10 of the whole). No clue who my aunt's primary beneficiary is. Lucky them. I had called and given them my phone number and email; they called once and left a message, and back and left one. Today, they called and when I picked up I couldn't hear anyone. So I said that, and hung up.
I came downstairs and stared at the pile of stuff in front of my seat. Some mail (one bill), mostly bullshit. One letter from the old health insurance company, saying that there's Yet Another Check that didn't get cashed. So I called the Dead Aunt's Lawyers and left another message, and then called the health insurance. Now, the last check I recieved was made out to Otter, and the bank cashed it for me into the Estate account with the comment that they REALLY want any more checks made out to me somehow.
So when I got someone on the phone (after a surprisingly short wait), I said that. And the person put me on hold while they went and checked with their manager. And came back eventually, and said they were sorry, manager was trying to find out how to do this, and I said ok, put me on hold again.
This went on, checking on me, asking a question, putting me on hold, for 52 minutes before they decided they couldn't deal with it now, could they please have a callback number. Just... shaking my head. I *can't* be the only person that's ever had this problem. It's really that difficult? Ask me for paperwork, or make it out to the estate of. That's what that account is for.
So now I'm back to trying to figure out what days to do the work of paying bills, given when they come in and when they're due, and filling out the forms for the TIAA-CREF pension plan.
Still no sign of life insurance money. R sold some old pokemon cards, got a shitload of money, which helped the bank account. Otherwise nothing. I have her on the task of trying to sell my old magic cards, but that's relatively low priority.
wheee.
