Sinking in

We have had a few days to digest the news we are done with the spin cycle from the State. We are marking days now to the end of the appeal period which is 13 more days on the clock. We don't anticipate any appeal but because of the horrific desire from hubby's ex-employer to try to punish him for leaving their employment with a broken back---yes, they are a sweat shop of the most desperate order--there is always the chance. We guess-timate they paid a disinterested Seattle lawyer more than $50k to fight his case. Why should an employer get to fight a case when the employee has nearly a quarter century of excellent performance - we are talking 2 times late in 20 years....and has paid into the so called insurance for three consecutive decades?
I digress.
We have the paperwork laying on the kitchen table which says repeal and remand. We won't file it in our home file box until the 13 days are over. And maybe will frame it. Slaying a dragon that is a system with bottomless pockets and a corruptness that defies description is beyond huge. We still are shell shocked from their punishment and until we get a next order in the mail providing the benefits, we remain so wary.
We did celebrate with the daughter, her bf, oldest grandson at Red Robin. Color me predictable. I ordered the largest size rootbeer float and drank it gone before dinner arrived. I needed to pack up all the dinner as I had room for about a half dozen bites before I was full. Joyous joyous time.
Better half and co. are deep cleaning every aspect of the house, garage and yard. There is no box, corner, cupboard, cobweb they havent attacked. It's also free dump day today by a glorious coincidence. So that's one of his destinations. Oldest grand is working for grandpa through his vacation and his help has changed everything. Daughter has too. She was surly on day 1, cooperative on day 2, by day 3 she was taking pride in the excellence of her work and told me she had to hang up to get on to cleaning the blinds.
Woooo......
Much more swirling in the olde brain...including im patience...can't wait to hear how my beautiful oldest daughter's 23rd BD celebration went yest. She was thinking it was going to be a surprise thing. Hope so! Big heart that she is taking care of everyone else's feelings and needs. Happy BD for the last time this year gorgeous!
