This is one of the things that’s been on my mind and not allowing me to sleep tonight.

Finally some things have been brought to finality here. Insurance finally came out with the second part of the installment, bring that whole stupid thing to an end. So now I have a nice $5000 check in my account, which will most likely head straight into my in-laws pockets, as they did most of the
