Money and Floating

So the account for the 90,000 has finally been set up.

EXCEPT...

Its only for 75,000 due to a fall in value since it was awarded back in October.

AND

its in the form of a 401K which means I will have to pay 20% taxes on it - tho I am sure it will not end up as income to me so I should get that back. And I read that I wont have to pay the penalty.

My lawyer's financial assistant sent an unrequested by me letter to his lawyer asking for an extension on getting in the financials which I didnt ask for and dont need. And it cost me. That has really p.o.d me as my latest bill was $7000 for a trial that never took place and now I have to pay for a stupid letter. Tho I am going to point out I didnt request this so should not be billed.

And getting that stuff together - for no real reason - is such a pain. My printer is not working so I will have to bring it to a printing place - hopefully I can write it to my camera card and bring it in. I'm going to call today to find out. It will be nice to have that out of my hair.

With my debts paid off, I'll have only 4 months left of income from that money while I have six months left of time to trial. Which means I wont be getting any settlement money until next year at this time which means I hit Bank of Mom again.

Its really so unfair.

BUT...

I can get really mad about it or I can just acknowledge that its tough luck and that its out of my control


and just float.

I choose to float. Why make my kids and myself unhappy?
