the_rckScott is fasting today, but he doesn’t start the clean out solution until 5 p.m., so he’ll be running errands this morning. I need to make a list of the things I want him to pick up. I feel a little bad sending him to the grocery store, but it’s better to send him today than to run out of stuff before he can go on Thursday. Mainly, we need a loaf of bread because I can’t get Cordelia to eat anything but toast for breakfast.
I don’t think any of us slept well last night. Scott had bad dreams. I was too cold with just the sheet and way, way too warm if I added a light blanket. Cordelia was awakened half an hour early by Scott’s cell phone alarm.
Cordelia has a field trip today. Half of the seventh graders are going to the local food bank to do some work. The other half of the class will go on Thursday. Cordelia was supposed to go Thursday, but she has PT, so the teachers offered to let her go today instead. She will have to tuck her hair completely under a hat or wear a hairnet, and she thinks hairnets must be horrible, horrible things.
Aetna sent us a form yesterday, demanding to know if there was any way at all they could shift financial responsibility for Cordelia’s injury to someone else. They sent it addressed to Cordelia with 'confidential, to be opened by addressee only' which kind of annoyed me. I mean, I ignored that and opened the envelope because she’s twelve, but… I ended up having to call instead of filling out the form because the form didn’t allow for her having been injured on someone else’s property without it being an option for us to sue them. I got cut off the first time I called, but once I got a person, it took about forty seconds to clear things up. Suing a public school is a non-starter.
We’re going to have to make and stick to a budget. The added burden of the car payment is really hitting us hard. Scott says his credit card bill was as high last month as it normally is right after Christmas. I can save about $20 a week by not buying chocolate or bubble tea. I don’t want to, but maybe I should. Those are luxuries. May is normally a pretty expensive month for us because it’s a big month for birthdays with me and Cordelia and both of Scott’s parents.
Cordelia has decided that she can walk to and from school on her own today and on any day when she doesn’t have orchestra. I thought it was coming because she hasn’t actually needed me for anything but carrying the viola for the last week or even two. For this morning, I’m just as happy because it means that I can shower before I get dressed and then nap.

Date: 2016-04-20 08:18 am (UTC)Glad talking to a person cleared it up quickly!
I got one of those letters too, but in this case my insurance company wanted me to talk to a company they'd hired to follow up on such issues. I'm happy to talk to my insurance company, but talking to a third party company is weird. Talking to a person cleared it up though.
