lawyers and money

While I was at Mayday on Saturday, I heard that my lawyer wanted desperately to talk to me. I emailed her. Because she wasn't able to get hold of me late last year, she has withdrawn from my case. I had a credit balance and my ex was in prison. How was I supposed to know there'd be more to do? At least half my fault for not being certain that she had a current address, and still aggravating, cause now I have to find a new lawyer.

On the other hand, in talking to a friend on Saturday, I let slip that I hadn't been able to pick up Kid's medication because I couldn't pay for it. She handed me her debit card and told me to go get it. Let me know how much it is so I can subtract it. Wow. Sometimes I am amazed when I get these reminders about what great friends I have. Like what did I do to deserve having such incredible people love me? I know that I've turned my life around and become the kind of person I'd like to have as a friend, and it definitely wasn't always that way.

I'm thankful for the serendipities that come along sometimes and thwap me in the head. :)
