I did get a call back from SSA (3 hours later). At first she tried to tell me they didn't get the corrected form to claim the payment that I sent back last March. I said that when I called last April 10th and again May 20th, I was told the corrected form was received on April 4th. She said let me look again. She came back on the line and said yes, she found it, but it had been saved in an odd folder in my mom's account and that is why it probably never got sent on to their processing dept! She told me she has now forwarded it to processing and they have 30 days to process it and get the payment sent out. Fingers crossed it will finally get paid. But, I'm not holding my breath because last May was kind of the same story - yes we have your corrected form, it's been sent for processing....wait 45 days....This time though, I will call again in 30 days, and every 30 days, if it's not paid out.
It continued to snow, starting back up around noon yesterday. ALL DAY and at least some during last night because I see dh will have to plow again. This is him trying to keep up with it last night LOL. It's about time we got a good snow.
I see my garbage bill has gone up again, another $4 per month. When we first moved here it was $40/mo, now it's up to $65.
I'm getting so very caught up with work. It's awesome. I sent my boss the December/year end financials yesterday morning. First time ever it was this early. My email included a gif of fireworks going off, LOL.
My mom's fed tax return is now deposited. Yay. Don't know why the state one is being so slow - usually it's the one that is processed super fast. It still says it's been accepted, but hasn't moved into the processing stage. Now it will probably be the one I have to deal with this time.
I got another egg yesterday. Two days in a row! Go Gladys!
Time to get logged into work. It's pretty outside my window with all the snow in the trees
Great view of the snow.
ReplyDeletewe're covered it in now
DeleteAmos doing a damn fine job! DH will be busy and out of your hair, a win for everyone. I am so happy you're getting eggs - did anything change for Gladys, or she must just be in the mood again?
ReplyDeleteI think it's just that time of year now, where it's lighter out longer, so their egg laying kicks in. Keeping dh out of my hair is a good thing ;)
DeleteI have to chuckle at your DH plowing. I love it when my husband is doing something he not only enjoys, but makes our home nicer. Unfortunately, his stroke took a lot of the physical labor away from him. And, our tractor (New Holland) has been on the fritz for two years. We think the last visit got that resolved, so hopefully when it gets nicer he can mow again. As long as one of us walks with him and stands by as he gets up on it, he is fine…and he really doesn’t even need that, but in my house my rules apply! I loved when he would mow our fields with the tractor…oodles of free time for me!
ReplyDeleteA dusting here, but it’s 29 degrees. Schools are normally an hour and twenty minutes late start on Wednesday, but even so, they cancelled schools because the roads are just too slick with black ice. And, they waited until an hour before start to cancel, apparently hoping that it would melt/ sanders (of which we have one on this island) could address it. My chickens’ watered was frozen solid! I checked it first thing, before they even came down from the roosting bar, and I am glad I did.., even though it was cold on my poor hands!
All in all, I love the climate here. This is about as bad as it gets. It will pass in about another two days. If we had come straight from New England, without our decade in the southwest, we would find this a tropical Mecca. But if anyone asks, because they are interested in moving here, tell them it rains ALL THE TIME, and is mind wearily depressing. Got that?
Enjoy your snow!

DeleteWe tell everyone it's very cold and snows too much here LOL. I have to have a water heater for my chicken's water and just leave it on all winter.
DeleteWe have had so little snow, it's just bare. Big storm supposed to be hitting the whole state Saturday. I hope it's warmish- the dogs would love a good snow play.
ReplyDeleteI went outside a couple time (quickly) yesterday and it was cold and 25.
DeleteTommy watched the video on my laptop and from across the room. He said the foreground looked like there was a body...lol.
