I just received some pretty distressing news today. My cousin who was supposed to be flying home at the end of the month from the USA will not be able to make the trip. Last week she was in a major car accident and she isn’t up to the trip any more. Thankfully for her there are people like Chicago personal injury lawyers that are so willing to help her in her time of need.

She did go to the hospital and has whiplash and an injured back. So she will be unable to work for a short time and she will also have to pay out a lot of medical expenses. She has already been in contact with a lawyer to help her get these expenses covered. Although I am sad that she will not be able to take this trip home, I am extremely happy that she wasn’t hurt any worse than she was and she will survive.

Hopefully she gets all better soon and maybe will be able to make the planned trip next year.

Last night I got a phone call from my insurance company that they want me to come in to see them in regards to my current life insurance policy. They have never requested this in the past so I am a little confused as to why they want to see me. But I made the appointment for Monday after I drop the kids off at day camp. I guess I’ll see what their up to on Monday afternoon. I can tell you right now that if they are going to try to get me to increase my coverage, which would increase my monthly payments they are going to hear a big fat no. I can barely afford the premiums I pay now so I’m not looking forward to paying anything extra. I’ll let you all know how I make out.

Well  were back at it.  Tonight we have two appointments to go see two different houses.  Hopefully one of them will be what we are looking for and we can put a bid on it.  One of the houses is way out of the area where we are looking, but it is a really good price.  The other one is right in our target area, but with a higher price tag.  We haven’t ruled out either one of them and are just waiting to see what type of condition each home is in.  Right now house prices are extremely inflated and I am not willing to pay for a house just to “have a house”.

If I don’t find that the value is worth the price tag, then we will just keep looking.  The good thing is that we don’t have to move out of our current home any time soon so we do have the luxury of time.  It’ just that I want a house so bad, that sometimes I don’t think as clearly as I should.  It’s a good thing I take my husband with me on this little trips.  He has a clearer head then I do most of the time so he won’t just jump into any purchase.
