And now back to your regularly scheduled programming
As many of you know, our dear friend T-Unit has been boarding within the Bunch's perimeter for 2+ years. He came to us out of the blue one day, requesting a "couple of days" lodging and then never really leaving, or working, or doing much of anything for that matter. Days turned into months, and months into years, almost always with the promise of if such and such happens then I can move out (he applied for Social Security Disability in late 2003, I believe). This arrangement never really sat well with me. Laziness is not a trait I particularly admire.
After a couple of years his being around became a boon with the arrival of Luka, and as of right now we have in-home babysitting and dishwashing. It at least made our arrangement a little closer to mutually beneficial.
Yesterday we returned from our Thanksgiving trip to learn that his Social Security Disability appeal had been accepted (from the wording Michelle relayed I think the term should be "barely accepted," but accepted nonetheless) with back pay to May 2004 and T-Unit will be receiving monthly checks from now until he expires. Needless to say, this is going to lead to big changes at the Bunchs' residence.
We discussed it with him last night and the Unit thinks he wants to get an apartment of his own here in CR. Do you know what I have to say to that? Halle-f'in-lujah, maybe there is a God after all. I don't know when it will be official but it may only be another month or it may be the end of the school year, but there will be an end to the occupation.
Now, what are we going to do with all the extra room?
Shoutouts':
The Bunch would like to thank the Folks clan for for an entertaining and filling afternoon last Thursday.
The Bunch would like to send a shoutout to the Hughes clan for hosting the Bunch over the Thanksgiving weekend. Good dinner and company. The Bunch would also like to thank the Hughes clan for lunch on Saturday, an awesome gesture.
The Bunch would also like to thank Grandpa Bob for paying our way into the OKC National Memorial, definitely something worth seeing if you ever get a chance.
And last but not least, the Bunch would like to congratulate the crew at The Daily Bailey on the birth of their son/nephew, Addison. Go Cubs!
