Sleeping with Serious Sam

Back in 2001 when I was about 7 months pregnant, we had to change the computer room into a nursery so the computer stuff had to come into our room. It was a bit cramped but I remember many nights laying in bed feeling my little Michael kicking & moving as I listened to Ted playing one of his favorite games Serious Sam. Now I know gunfire isn't too soothing but the sounds of this particular game were somehow soothing to me and many times lulled me to sleep. I guess there was just this feeling of security. Togetherness. So I bought myself an mp3 player, downloaded Serious Sam sounds from YouTube & loaded them on my player. I got to fall asleep last night listening to them. I also loaded something from Tomb Raider since that was his all time favorite game. And the theme from The Good, The Bad, The Ugly since he loved Clint Eastwood & could practically repeat all of his movies word for word. Boy I miss that man.
On a happier note I spent an hour yesterday & an hour today on the phone with medical providers. Some of the bills he had were going into collections so I figured it was time to tell them he was no longer here. Most of them were nice. Only one told me there was nothing that could be done & it would go into collections. Only 8 wanted me to send the death certificate. So it feels like I accomplished a lot.
