Busy, Busy

I painted at the other house today, emptied the storage rooms, set up one bedroom, bought bed rails for the other one, but they were too small... also took the dog to the vet where she'll be boarded while we're away. Busy day. When I got back here, I researched why my state disability checks stopped from California... and will be getting one next week. I didn't fix the problem: I caused the problem by messing up a review form. Oops.

Then I tried to search for cheaper car insurance rates. Way too complicated. I couldn't begin to answer all the questions, let alone ubnderstand them, so I did the big cop-out and just renewed what we had. I did visit with the nice young man I gave our credit card number to. He's studying math and doesn't know what he's going to do with it career wise. As we talked, he searched for more ways to save $. We lowered our rate another $100, a break for education, another for changing PIP deductibles, etc.

I worked at the other house yesterday, too, but it takes me all day to do an hour's worth of work. I spend much time looking for whatever I just laid down somewhere or retracing my steps so I can figure what the next step is. Anyway, in the midst of my work, I realized it was time to go to Giveback. I almost opted out so as to try to catch up. I am so glad I didn't.

I need Giveback! I always come away with tons of benefit! Hopefully something I say also helps someone else. I continue to be amazed at how much Dr. Schutz and this wonderful group of recoverers, students, therapists, and family members has changed my life and outlook on my brain and its strange malfunctions. And there is never a charge or fee at all!

Back to today... I was thrilled to get a phone call from oldest son Norman who is going to make it to the wedding Sunday albeit on a truck. He got a load going that way but will not have time to dilly-dally with the rest of us after the reception. I also got a great email from niece Donna. Wish I could see her as well on this trip or the next, but it is not going to happen... maybe another time.

I'm excited about seeing everyone in Denver. Well, I guess I won't see everyone in Denver, just my family members and maybe a friend or two. I have little time to get ready to go, but I think I'll be fine. I'm packing light and going to buy a new outfit for the wedding after I get there so it won't look all wadded up. I'm not cooking dinner tonight, either. It's leftovers or eat out, or cold cereal. Praise God for cold cereal which we both really love.

So, it's been another great day and I am actually getting this posted before I'm dog tired for a change. I'm not taking my computer to Denver, so no posts until Wed. or Thurs. next week.
