Thought of the Week

  • "Having OCD is like being allergic to life - every waking moment is spent in a state of mental hyper-sensitivity.”

Why am I returning to this blog after so long?

During this next year, this blog will "document" Devin's OCD, and the improvements she makes. In no way is this blog meant to make anyone feel sorry for our trials. We know that trials are merely blessings in wolves' clothing. Because any improvements will be minor and subtle as the days go by, I want to write it all down so that I can look back and see how far Devin has come. If you are a first-time reader, I suggest you begin by reading this post. It will give you some background and show you a starting point. Comments are welcome, but please be kind. This is not an easy illness to deal with. We're all just doing the best we can.

Baby Steps #4--Emergency Info

After many years of telling myself we are going to do this, we've finally done it. We've had lots of legal documents and stuff in the safe, but we've finally got most of our stuff together.
  • birth certificates
  • passport (I'm the only one that has one. It's expired, but it still has memories.)
  • social security cards. Mine is missing. I've been looking for it, but I can't find it. Doh!
  • copies of credit cards, licenses, insurance cards, etc., front and back
  • copy of our credit scores, with notations about some accounts we need to check into, but we need an account number. Got to figure that out. I also called and closed an old Chase account that we haven't used in several years.
  • homeowners insurance policy
  • auto insurance policy
  • life insurance info. We don't actually have a policy to put in there. It just shows on Darin's paycheck that we have it, and I've also got the grid that shows the amount.
  • Darin's paycheck
  • bank statements.
  • retirement statements
  • 401k & 403b statements
  • immunization papers
  • utility statements for power, gas, water, Dish, Comcast, and Sprint.
  • tax documents
So, I need to find my SS card and make a list of all of our passwords to put in the safe. Not too bad!

  1. If you can't find your card, it's really easy to get a new one. The SS office is downtown by the library. You can show your current ID and they will mail it to you. It takes about 2 weeks to arrive. And it's free :)
