GiST #56

1. I am happy that I kept my temper in check when dealing with that dreadful mortgage company, even though I was provoked at a couple of points. I was on/off hold for over two hours and had to deal with 10 different people, some of them real morons, before I finally learned the truth about our loan modification application: we are denied because we are not three months behind.

2. Because I was able to keep my temper in check, I finally talked to a person (#11) who helped me get into an at-risk-for-default modification program. I am angry that we have to wait another 45 days (until the end of March) to hear anything but at least it's something.

3. There was no other pressing matters or appointments on the agenda today. That is always definitely a grace!

4. My husband's cooking! Today he made some awesome red cabbage and sausage. I so love cabbage and sausage! When I was growing up, I used to have it boiled together in water. TB made it by sauteeing it in a large frying pan.

5. Pop Tarts are on sale! I used to love eating them for breakfast when I was a kid. Over the years, I'd stopped eating them because of the sugar and fat in them and because of the cost. Now that I've had weight loss surgery, though, I don't absorb fats. And they were on sale so we got some, yum!
