Not a bad day today.

I have had lots of worries lately.  Keep my house, get a job, find money for heat and homeowners insurance.  Do my paperwork for the property tax exemption for my state.  Still lots of worries but I am in a good mood today.  The four legged children seem happy.  None of them are missing all are safe.  I got nothing in the mail (That means no bills)  I am keeping close contact with two things.  The first thing is the agency that is supposed to be helping me with this house's mortgage is asking for yet another piece of paperwork but I had it and could fax it easily.  I also got a call from a agency working with the department of the Treasury.  They are looking into the fact that I got denied for a mortgage modification.  They are supposed to see if they can help.  They have asked for no money.  They are called HAMP solutions center.  HAMP stands for Home Affordable Modification Program solutions center.  They are supposed to take a look at what I have submitted and find out why I was denied.  I am a bit worried this is some kind of scam but I looked it up and it all seems legit.

I was the most impressed because they said they got the notification because I wrote the United States President.  I wrote the President because I know he is trying pretty hard to get us all out of this economic mess we are all in and he needed to know I thought his program for home modification was a good idea but it was not working for me.  That means that someone like me who has lived in their home for all of their 44 years may lose it.  With a disability and 3 four legged children, that thought is beyond scary.  What else could I do?  I requested an answer.  It took a few months but it was nice to know someone was helping or at least trying to help.  Now there is no guarantee that things will turn out in my favor.  All this does is put a new set of eyes on it. With new sets of eyes come new negotiations and new ideas. I am not as scared as I used to be.

To add to my upbeat mood I am going to start selling AVON on Friday.  I meet with the lady to put in my initial investment.  (It really is affordable even for me)  I think it will make me feel like I am doing something because things are down to nothing here.  I am also getting ready to go see The Help  I will see that next week.  My care provider got coupons to a restaurant near the movie so we can have dinner!  I have not been out for fun in some time so I am really excited.   If I like the movie eventually I will get the book.  And CHOIR IS GETTING READY TO START!! I am still in this house.  Choir is a real release for me and I can't wait to sing and see these people again.  I got the notice today.  We are also going to sing again in the Maji Concert.  This is a local concert with local choirs around Christmas and the money goes to a local homeless shelter.  I have sung in this concert before and it is long days and a lot of work but I love it.  Since I have been one step closer to being homeless, I understand the need.


Be happy today and take care.
