Lots of things going on!

We are down to the last month. The final date they are setting-barring any major setbacks is around Feb 22 with three or four days to for punch out. It seems far away, but I know it will come quickly.

There are lots of decisions to be made and things to be done in a very short span of time. At the same time we are managing the house rebuilding, we also are managing the insurance claim. We are the point of trying to get settlement for the property contents, but we keep running into snags. I am a little (okay alot) concerned about that process. We did finally finish and submit the personal property list back in December. The public adjuster has been tweaking it since then, but they managed to leave off all the things that were taken out of the house by various vendors and declared to be unsalvagable. (Like several computer monitors which couldn't be restored.) It is a little frustrating. Additionally, we have to figure out how to rectify Associated Living Expenses (ALE) which include hotel stay, clothing, food from the first couple weeks in the hotel and various other things.

Ahhh well. I guess I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, so I can keep going!
