Okay, okay, so I’m learning–to procrastinate, to jump no gun.
A month ago I eagerly set up my new classroom. It was super sweet. Last week the principal called to say he needs to move me to a different room. Did I want them to move my stuff, or did I want to do it? he wondered. I said they could do it.
Then, last week, I learned that since our house will be vacant while we find renters or buyers, our homeowner’s insurance with Travelers may not be renewed. I quickly called Travelers to find out if this was actually the case, and was relieved when the agent told me very plainly that they would allow renewal (at the end of August, for a whole year) so that we could have time to sell or rent the place.
However, yesterday I received a letter from Travelers stating that the policy would not be renewed. I called them tonight, and the dude said that sorry, if only I would have called a few days later, they would not have had time to notify me of the impending nonrenewal and so they would have had to renew it for the upcoming year.
What in the world! My de-stressing strategy of handling situations before they become crises has become distressing! I think I’ll just have to become a lazy, uneager, live-for-the-moment-because-actually-caring-about-whatever-is-about-to-come-down-the-rapids-only-leads-to-premature-anxiety none-go-getter.
