Catching Up on My Happenings
This has been a week and a half and its only Wednesday. I've been extremely tired lately because I'm working both jobs. My client gave me a deadline of December 15th and I'm not 100% sure I'll make it. Its not that I don't think I can do my work, but the person who assists me at his office is very behind. I'll do my best and go from there. But I'm taking a half-day tomorrow. I have my board meeting and then I will be working on my client's data. Tyler should be with his father this weekend (which reminds me that I need to wash his clothes) so I'll have time Saturday to do additional work for my client. I keep telling myself that all this sacrifice is worth it. That the check I will hopefully receive in January will help me pay down my mortgage. I actually sat at work today fantasizing about what I could do with that mortgage payment if it was mine to keep. I couldn't wrap my mind around the thought. Keeping that money every month would blow my mind.
I took some time tonight to go and see Tyler's old daycare lady who was more than thrilled about seeing him I brought her dinner and we sat like two old girlfriends catching up after being apart for months. She's an older White woman who is twice widowed. Her last husband, Buddy, passed away 4 years ago of cancer. She told me the latest about her kids, the 2 who were married this year, the one who is still in high school, and the fourth they call Lulu. She was more than eager to hear about my personal life. I mentioned a special friend that I have in my life and she jumped to let me know that if we marry and have additional children, she'll be available to keep them. All I could do is laugh. She went on to mention issues with parents not paying and skipping out on her. She needed the money to pay the IRS...that's a group you don't want to mess with. She went on to tell me about someone who has "All-timer's" disease as we sat and watched the 10-in TV that was sitting on top of the cat's play box in front of the 37-inch TV that recently broke. The atmosphere was light and happy and I'm so, so glad that I took the time to see her. They are the extended family I never thought I would have. It's something great to have when your family is 1,000 miles away.
On a more serious note, my memory issues are becoming a bit much to handle. The idea of writing things down works when I remember to write it down....or better yet, when I remember where I put my note pad. I plan to make a trip to my favorite natural food store to see what kind of holistic remedies they have. I'm also taking Tyler off the Pulmicort (inhaled steroid) for his asthma. I ran into a friend who's 6 year old son has asthma. Her suggestion...take him to a Chiropractor. I refuse to continue to give my money to the the medical community. People who lived 100 years ago were able to make it. My great-grandmother died a few years ago at the age of 99...there's gotta be a better way to live other than pumping your body full of medication. There's gotta be a better way.
