United II

The title of the last post was actually related to the airline but with the events yesterday...it morphed into something else.

Fingers crossed that United is soon to refund our flights to Cancun.  We received an email advising us to cancel our reservations.  When you go to the tab to do that, it states 'once cancelled, you are not entitled to a refund'...which is concerning considering we are really hoping to get a refund.  We called and after going through the 'infobot' madness wherein you just keep saying 'agent' over and over and over while the computer on the other end attempts to convince you that you don't need an agent, I reached a live person and she said 'it has to be cancelled or they won't proceed with the refund process.  Cancel and then email them to say 'completed.  When can we expect to receive our refund?'.  (I took that to mean that she was pretty sure they would be refunding -so yeah).

So we've cancelled and now we wait to hear - fingers and toes crossed that they will.  We sent documentation from H.'s oncologist and stated that a refund of the tickets would greatly assist us in paying the mounting medical bills we have for deductibles, co-pays, etc. .

I was hoping we would know as a birthday present but that didn't happen....so we keep waiting.

The budget is 'done' and now it's on to various other components that accompany it. Hoping by end of day today to have a desk top I can see.

Not taking the antibiotics last night combined with enjoying close to a full bottle of wine (with hubby - lest you think I drank an entire bottle of wine alone) provided a pretty decent night of sleep.  The rash is looking much better and while my sinuses still feel stuffy, they are improving as well.

Hummingbirds buzzing around the yard this morning.  We need to refill the feeders!
