hi, everyone.
dropped off the car today as k ran into a mechanic friend of his who is now working at the auto place just down the street from us. he will find the problem hopefully and give us a bit of a discount too. their computer systems will probably find the source of the drain on the battery much faster than we would (i hope).
k is in a terrible mood today. he deprives himself of sleep and then i get to deal with the attitude

have a headache right now. hopeful this day will turn around. got a notice from social security in the mail that everything is official but a little confused they sent me two copies so i tried calling the attorney wondering if they sent me his by mistake or if i need to take any action. it'll prob still be awhile yet before i see any money as i've heard that you have to wait in queue at a payment processing center for your backpay and if they are backlogged (which is pretty much a given) you may not see a cent for months. joy, oh joy. i know we're in the home stretch here of this five year battle and i am trying very hard not to be frustrated, i just want this to be done and over with already.
my mom's knee surgery is moved up to monday b/c the doctor thinks she needs it sooner and my parents are stressing about finances and if they can borrow money for her time off work and i've told them i have no guarantee of when it will show up, the government does everything in their own time and k is counting on it too and we haven't many groceries in the house and this is just all driving me mad.
was overcast and threatening rain earlier..now the sun is popping out so maybe it's a good omen.
have a good day, all.
