Today
may finally be the day when my wife, Arlynda, loses her job as a claims
processor for [United Healthcare]. Be
assured that it has been a long time possibly coming. In fact, she has been on “final warning”
status several times since last January on account of her own steadily
declining health condition, but the company kept allowing her
(naturally-speaking, of course) to move to a different team that was assigned a
different task in the process, which would start the clock all over again. So, regardless of just how much the powers
that be at the company are truly aware of the part that they have been playing
in our Heavenly Father’s plans for us, they certainly cannot be held in any
disdain over expecting their employees to perform at a certain level.
Anyway,
United Healthcare has been paying for our internet connection since they let
her start working from home, and with the service actually being in their name,
along with consideration being given to the sensitivity of the information she
regularly handles, I fully expect our connection to be severed very soon (if
not immediately) upon the completion of the final determination of her employment
status, which could come at any time during the next few hours. Needless to say, with me being such a
wonderful person in every way, shape and form, I did not want to leave any of
you wondering what may have happened after noticing that I have stopped
publishing “stuff.” Hence, the reason
for this rather melodramatic notification.
No,
I do not expect to be offline for very long, but considering the fact that
customer satisfaction is as high on [Mediacom’s] list of corporate priorities as
it is on most of the other cable companies’ lists, it may take several days
before they get over here to set things up again. Ironically, this will actually be saving us a
bunch of money. For as we are getting
another internet connection in our name again, we will be also putting our
cable television service in our name again.
Alas, it is a long stupid story about how we came to have to put it in
Arlynda’s mother’s name when we first moved to where we have been living for
the last six years or so, but suffice to say that we will all be very happy to
finally be able to get it straightened out…we hope.
Yeah,
I may have done went and really lost my mind this time. For the change in our cable service is not
the only thing that I am actually looking forward to. For I have got it in my head that Arlynda
will be allowed and enabled to make it fairly big in the blogosphere, along
with some other possible avenues for financial income opening up for us to
travel.
Nonetheless,
it is going to be some very tough sledding for at least a little while. For aside from what little [S.S.I.] provides
us, we will be losing our own health insurance, and I am most definitely not
looking forward to becoming so personally acquainted with what [Obamacare] has
to offer so soon. Still…

Well, I don’t know
what to tell you. For she participated
in the scheduled phone conference with her bosses and the rest of the team she
is currently on, and after it was over, which is when she expected her main
boss to break the news, nothing was said either way. So, I will keep on keeping on until someone
has the plug pulled.
Morning After
Maureen McGovern
There's got to be a
morning after
If we can hold on
through the night
We have a chance to
find the sunshine
Let's keep on
lookin’ for the light
Oh can't you see
the morning after
It's waiting right
outside the storm
Why don't we cross
the bridge together
And find a place
that's safe and warm
It's not too late
We should be giving
Only with love can
we climb
It's not too late
Not while we're
living
Let's put our hands
out in time
There's got to be a
morning after
We're moving closer
to the shore
I know we'll be
there by tomorrow
And we'll escape
the darkness
We won't be
searchin’ anymore
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There’s got to be a
morning after

Hi Jerry,
Sounds like the Lord has some changes in store for you, which can only be good eh? Look foreward to seeing you back on the blogging soon, and hope you are not disconnected too long. Nice song, nice lyrics.
Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Brenda!!! With the news currently being no news, I do not know if this is good news or not (naturally-speaking, of course). For I do not want her to have to keep working at her current job on account of how much she is hurting, but neither one of us want to lose the income, nor the health insurance. I really wish He would be more forthcoming at times. (LOL?)
Jerry,
I have discovered in my own walk, that there is purpose in all things He brings across our path and whether it be calm or storm, if we keep our eyes on Him we will be fine.
Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Brenda!!! Yes, that is indeed true, but it is critical to understand that this does not mean that we will be fine in accordance to what fine is considered to be in the eyes of this world. Just look at the lives that His prophets and apostles were given to live for an example. Tragically, this has been ignored by far too many in the Christian community, which has greatly added to the confusion concerning our Heavenly Father and the righteousness of all of His most awesome ways.
I suppose no news is good news, as they say. I hope you get a break one way or the other.
Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Max!!! Yeah, I wanting my cake and to be able to eat it too here. For I don't want her to work for them anymore on account of how hard it has become for her, but I sure want the income and the health insurance coverage. Be assured that this is one of those situations where I have a hard time agreeing with what our Heavenly Father says is best until He lets me more in on what He is doing. Nope, I really ain't very good at walking by faith.
