the_rckWe didn’t move very fast this morning. I don’t think any of us wanted to be up and about.
Scott’s sister expected us at the church at 9:30. That was when I had set my alarm for, so her text woke me. I explained that I still wasn’t feeling very well but that we’d come to the brunch later. We ended up late for that by about an hour. I think Scott’s sister held the meal, waiting for us. She cooked four different types of egg casserole and then made chicken nuggets for me (eggs are a migraine trigger for me). I was torn— I was hungry but not exactly, and a lot of the food was stuff I worried would give me trouble.
I was kind of headachy by the time we left to come home. I really very much wanted to lie down, but we still needed to do the weekly trip to the library. Scott and I left Cordelia at home and went and did that. I have four DVDs to watch this week which is more than I really want. More things came in all at once than I expected. I’ll go first with the one that can’t be renewed; that’s a two DVD set that’ll take me about five hours.
I need to go out three times this week. Tomorrow evening, there’s a meeting at the school for the parents of middle school students. It will involve us getting some necessary paperwork, and they’re holding that hostage to make people show up. Of course, if they really wanted people to show up, they wouldn’t have scheduled the meeting for 5:30. I see a gynecologist on Wednesday, and Cordelia has PT on Thursday.
Scott looked at our expenses for March and April and concluded that we can— just barely— manage the insulation payments. Of course, that was expenses without the bills from Cordelia’s injury which haven’t hit yet. We’ll probably turn to Cordelia’s Social Security money to deal with that. There’s only $5000 left of that (the high point of that account was about $25000, so we’ve hit it pretty hard over the last three years), but that will definitely cover the medical stuff. I will regret that we won’t have that money when it comes time to send Cordelia to college, but I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
May has four birthdays, however, so it will be a bit more expensive than March or April. I asked Scott about the budget for buying gifts for Cordelia, but we got interrupted before he could answer. We’ve got two weeks to buy whatever we’re going to give her. If we want to get books from Book Bound, we need to order them this week. Amazon needs less time and is cheaper, but Book Bound is a local business, and they’re never really busy when we go in there. I worry that they won’t last.
I’m still not feeling 100%. I’m hungry, but pretty much everything I look at is repulsive. Scott made crab legs for dinner, and I usually love those, but the smell made me feel sick. I didn’t do too badly when I made myself start eating, but I had to make myself. I’m still kind of hungry. I should probably figure out where Scott stashed the crackers.
