Just one of those weeks

Ever had just one of those stressful weeks that wouldn't stop?? Don't lie, you know what I'm talking about.

Brad wound up working a little later Monday than he planned, so I missed my Ladies class I'm participating in at church. I wasn't happy about missing it, but I also knew Brad had done everything he could to get home on time.

Tuesday, Brad wound up staying home due to a massive headache, that I'm sure was caused by stress from the previous 3 work days. That wasn't too bad, I wasn't upset with him, I was actually upset with the situation that caused the headache, even though I had no control over it. Ok, so in hindsight that was not the best thing to be upset over. Anyways, the stress level hit EEK that day when we found out that Geico wasn't going to reissue our auto insurance policy with them when the 6 month premium ended in March. WHAT?!?!?!?! It all had to do with Brad's "use of his vehicle". HUH??????

See, Brad's employer, back in July of 2008, decided in order to help prevent them from getting sued, all employees that go on-site to customers (like Brad does), needed to extend the liability coverage amounts to 100/300. From a business end, I can understand it. From a spousal point, it was frustrating. So back in July, Brad talked to Geico, except at the time him (and his coworkers) all thought the extra coverage was to protect "company equipment". Geico's lovely underwriters were going back to that inital conversation and used that as a reason to not reissue the policy in March. No matter how we tried to explain to Geico that the extra coverage is NOT about protecting company equipment, that it's to help prevent his employer from getting sued if Brad has an accident while on the job...no matter how hard we tried to explain that, they just wouldn't listen.

Oh, and did I mention that if Brad doesn't keep that 100/300 coverage he could lose his job???? Yep, my stress level hit nuclear on Tuesday. So we spent most of Tuesday afternoon checking out other auto insurance policies.

I could go into more, but I won't bore you with any more. So it's just been a stressful week. But the good news is, we now have new insurance, the way it needs to be done so Brad's job isn't in jeopardy, and actually paying less than we were to Geico. Plus, they also do homeowners insurance and it looks like our agent will be able to give us a better rate on that, too. So we've been thanking God that He allowed Geico to decide not to reissue the policy in March.

It's just been the kind of week that I can feel the tension in my body. That's not good, is it? So I'm taking today off of taxes, dishes, and possibly laundry. I'm going to stamp and scrap today. The weekend starts this afternoon, and I really don't want to be physically stressed this weekend. In college, I would go play raquetball to relieve stress. Now I stamp and scrap to relieve stress.
