Today’s post is brought to you by morphine and the number 42.

That’s right kids… I’m 42 years old as of today!  yippy for me!!

I didn’t even realize that it was October until this morning when I was paying a credit card bill online.  So far, I’ve gotten a call from my sister and an email from my mom.

So… to celebrate, I think I’ll take a nap 🙂

I have a few calls into my disability insurance company.  As of yet, my claim manager hasn’t returned my calls, so there’s no news as of right now.

They were supposed to have come up with a decision on my case by the 28th of this month.  There are only 3 reasons I can think of why they haven’t notified me:

1. My claims manager is either sick or out of the office.
2. The decision hasn’t been made yet
3. They denied my appeal, sent a letter, and my claims manager doesn’t want to talk to me.

I’m hoping it’s one of the first two.

Again, I’ll let you know if I hear anything.  The waiting is driving me a little nuts.

UPDATE 11:14 am

I got a call back from my claim manager.  The reason she didn’t get back to me yesterday was both #1 and #2 from the list above.

She stated that they “should” have the decision made by the end of next week.

Keeping my fingers crossed! 🙂

Today is the day that I’m supposed to find out if my private long term disability insurance company has decided to turn my bennifits back on or not.

I’ve been in appeal since June (they take their sweet time on these things) and I’d like to get paid again.

I called my claims manager a few minutes ago and left a voice mail asking her to call me back.  Now I’m sitting here, a complete ball of nerves, waiting for her call.

I’ll update just as soon as I find out what the decision was.

Wish me luck!

I was showing my wife how to use our media center tonight, and I came to a conclusion….

I’m a total Depeche Mode fanboy.

While this comes as no shock to those who know me, I didn’t realize exactly how much I had spent buying music from this one band until I sorted my mp3’s by total tracks.

253 songs seems like a lot until you realize that I own the same song several times (greatest hits cd’s, remixes, etc).

Oh… and don’t judge me by the Eminem collection… it’s a guilty pleasure.
