Not a good day. Email from my cousin. Her mother has been having stomach problems for awhile, which I knew. They said something or other was twisted, nothing they could do, she'd have to live with it. Had an MRI last week...A cyst on one ovary and a mass on the other. The mass has connected to the bowel. They will do a cat scan next week. She is 84. My dad's sister. The last member of his family. We are closed to her kids as they are pretty much the same age as us. It's hard.
Got an email from ex yesterday. He got a letter from IRS that they are keeping both of our returns this year to pay back taxes. (Taxes we owed because he didnt fill out his W4 the way I told him to) Thing is those taxes are included in the bankruptcy so they shouldnt be keeping our returns and they didnt last year. That is his thought. My thought is yeah, but last year you had not screwed up and gotten the bankruptcy kicked out. When THAT happened, all the creditors were told they could come after us again. Yes, he was able to get it reinstated and they were then told to stop...but...some were not happy about it..He plans to fight this...but I'm pretty sure he will lose.
He's pissed off as hell. Says he needs "HIS" return. I guess #4 filed separately which was a smart thing to do. May be why she has not taken his name yet, too..I dont know. I imagine he had definite plans for it: pay off a bill or something. No telling. Me? Meh, It puts a cramp in my style but nothing more because I never count on money until it's in my hand. Just means I will need to cut back and save some money for the trip n May and for dental work in August. No biggie.
But it got me to thinking about Karma. Now, it's not for me to say this was Karma or not. But it made me realize that we look for Karma to be done a certain way. We look for that person to be hurt the same way we were or something like that. But you know, some people cannot be hurt that way. They don't feel things the way we do. It seems to me that when a person can't be hurt the way he hurt me, that Karma might go about it a different way. Find the soft spot--like a man's wallet. Am I laughing about this? Nah. Gloating in my head and heart? No. Not at all. Just an idle thought about the workings of Karma.
But, actually not even thinking of that anymore as my heart and mind are on my aunt and her family. I hurt for them. I miss my daddy. My sister's ex mil, who was also a friend to her, is in hospice. They expect her to die any time...I refuse to say "pass"..let's be honest here. So, my family, and others of course, are hurting tonight.
The family of a boy in Arkansas. He went hunting and didnt return. He was found in a creek not far from home. They think he fell and drowned. So much sadness. On the other hand the daughter/niece/granddaughter of dear friends has been moved to a regular room after being in ICU since Dec 28th. She had h1n1 pneumonia, etc...She is doing very well. God is good.
HA! Just got email from him. He fought with the IRS and they are going to send us our refunds. See? I told you it might not be Karma...Still, I think the thought holds!
