This is where I stand right now. The closing of the loan on the house is on
hold because of late paper work getting to the loan company. Looks about
like two weeks from the 5th.

I was working as hard as I could trying to get boxes packed and shipped to
the Philippines, getting the house repaired and selling my business and
cars. I ran myself down to the point where I got sick, very sick. I also
took a malaria pill and it just made things worst.

When the word came that they were not going to close on the 5th I stopped
and went to bed. I think I went into pneumonia and I was one very sick
person. My wife sat beside me as I sleep in a chair and beat the phlegm out
of me every time I started coughing so I could breathe. I would have gone to
the hospital if she had not helped me.

I got better Tuesday and a lot better by Thursday. I have done nothing but
sleep and surf the net as I felt like it the last few days. I think I'll get
back to packing and cleaning a little today as I feel like it. I am still
weak.

They just found "Bird Flu" in the area of the Philippines where I am going
so; I may take a month or so in the motor home and just "ride around" until
the area is clear.

I'll say more when I know for sure that the house thing is going to happen.
They are cutting me up on the house and there is nothing I can do but shut
up, pay and wait, they have me over a barrel.
