I woke with a headache again today. It's still lingering a bit, and I'm afraid it will spike again this afternoon. I've got some Social Security forms to fill out (simple but stressful) and some billing problems to resolve. We were seriously over-billed for February, March, and April. We haven't yet paid for April or May because I want that over-billing resolved. I talked to the person we need to pay, but the problems are all with the person doing the billing who lives on the other side of the country and doesn't speak English well.

I think that the only must-do thing today is the library trip. I want to put that off until later because I'm working on getting through a couple of things so that I can return them and because there are things I expect to have come in today.

We're trying to figure out a restaurant where we can have the extended family eat a Father's Day lunch (probably on Saturday). Scott's sister can't host. Her MIL can't host. We can't host. Scott's parents haven't offered and haven't explained why/why not. Scott's sister usually organizes these things, but she's not willing to do this one.

I urged Scott to just set up a time for him to golf with his father and us to have a meal with his parents. Scott didn't. He made a general group suggestion that in no way helped the problem. As far as I can tell, he doesn't actually understand that the emails from his sister and her MIL pretty much parse as 'Let's not do a big thing this year at all. Here are some things I'm busy with instead.'

Of the twelve people involved, six have dietary restrictions, all very different restrictions.
