Today was a busy day. I started off the morning changing the alarm on the clock forward another 15 minutes. But I couldn't get back to sleep so I got up anyway. I took the beasties downstairs and let them out, then headed back upstairs to go to the bathroom. I then got dressed and let them back in. Then I got dressed and fed the animals. That left me with 15 minutes to go out, scrape the windows of the car and drive down the street to therapy. Our big ice scraper broke so I had to use the little one. It worked better than the big one used to so that worked out well.
Steve, my therapist, and I talked a little about my obsession with death and trying to savor the time left with my parents. They are in good health and exercise, keep busy and still work on the house so they aren't in any danger of dying that I know of, I just want to make sure when they do die, I don't regret not talking to them or taking advantage of them living in the same town and seeing them as much as I can. Now my sister, Laura, is a different matter. I will text her once in a while, see how she is doing, facebook her cute things that remind me of her but she is too busy raising 11 kids to go out to lunch, get together or any such thing. Maybe when a few more kids move out. My other sister, Collette, is busy going to school full time and working full time to even be reachable by phone, text, or facebook. Maybe some day they will want to appreciate each other before we get old and die too.
After therapy, I drove to the local UHaul and picked up hubby. He had taken the truck into work and had the work studies unload it, then he returned it. I picked him up and we drove to Taco Bell for lunch, Steak Soft Tacos. We went through the drive thru and took the food home. After I finished lunch, I checked my email and the lady with the 60 Workbasket magazines from the 70s and the late 60s emailed me her address and said I could pick them up at 1, so I looked up quick directions on Google and hubby and I left. The woman said her phone was not working so I had no phone to call if we got lost. And that is exactly what happened, the Google directions were wrong and we couldn't find her street. So after going down the whole street, basically in a circle, hubby had the bright idea to look up the address on my phone on Google and see what we were missing. Ta Da! There was one street we had to turn onto first before we got to her street, so we did. I got the magazines and paid her the $25 for them, which works out to 42 cents each. The pile was small so I counted them when I got in the car, sure that I had been cheated but no! There was 60 of them in the bag.
Next, we drove to Judithmary's house and I dropped off $15 for the High Tea we were going to on February 7th, a Saturday. It was a good thing I was just dropping it off, because Judithmary was in the middle of 2 other things, then her phone rang! I waved and got back in the car. Hubby and I drove home and settled in for a nap. But then I started going through our budget, checking to make sure what bills still needed to be paid and there were none! That left $250 in the account we needed to go grocery shopping with tonight so we wouldn't owe that to the courts because of the Big B. Tomorrow we were going into the attorney's office to sign the bankruptcy papers and have them filed in court. We still needed to do our Pre-Bankruptcy counselling and that is what we did when we were done with the grocery shopping. In the mist of this, we did manage to eat at home, saving ourselves from spending more money out. Got to start getting in that mode, not spending mode and eating better by eating at home. We have just enough money left in the account to go out to lunch tomorrow to transition ourselves into the new life, life after the Big B.
