Feets don’t fail me now:
Forgot to mention that the foot doc is pleased with my progress on healing up the streesed spot on my foot, and that the orthotic seems to be working very well and comfortably!
That last part surprised me a good deal; I expected it to be a major PITA, and it really isn’t. He says the thing is only good for about a year, however. I’ll deal with that over dealing with daily discomfort.
Our refinance stuff is going round and round; I’m busy trying to deal with a lot of small issues that have popped upm, and getting the package of stuff for the Energy Efficient Mortgage add-on is / has become a huge pain. Chasing people all over the place for the right documentation and estimates for the work needed, and so on - and the people from the lender have been hitting me with weird snags. Apparently there’s a new rule that says we needed a second appraisal on the house; I could imagine that rule was due to fraud in the recent past from borrowers, so they have to make really sure that this is all legit.
Add on that I finally can go and do our taxes; the present holder of our mortgage is a BIG outfit, often in the news - for being about ready to go under. Communicating with them is beyond a PITA, and they didn’t send out the 1098 forms; you had to log in online and get them. In late February!
