Well it is after 10 and I should be heading to bed but just like everything else today it isn’t happening. I woke up at 7 this morning and had to rush around and get things done. I managed to leave at 7:30 and got to work okay but it was rushed. I did my work but did get online a lot and did stuff I really wasn’t supposed. Tomorrow for sure I have to stay off line.

I left work late because I was finishing up the bad address/special project late as well. I had to recreate one of the documents. I had to ask Nina where she put the document and the rest of the copies for the first few days but they are all there. I still have to do today’s for that.

When I left it was dark and cloudy and a bit cool. I managed to get home before five. Mom was in the kitchen. She wrapped my gift to Roberta for me. At first I suggested that I give it to her tomorrow but decided against it. Mom thought I was getting my nails done at 7:30 tonight. No. 5:30.

I checked my mail. I got a card from Lucille and Joe Baluha and my check from Aetna. Yes!!!! It is about time! I will take it to the bank tomorrow and deposit it. This should help in ways I am not even sure.

I freshened up and then left. I almost left with out the gift but Mom stopped me and I came back for it. I got on the highway at Old Gate Lane. Soon I was at the nail salon. Roberta was already there getting her nails done. I thought for a moment I was late. I wasn’t she was early. They got me started with a pedicure/massage and soaking. Then I got my manicure done. They gave me tea and did wonderful things to my feet and hands. They did bleed a little but took care of it. We were done by 6:30. A half hour later I was home.

Mom was out shopping and I had dinner. It was chicken and potatoes. Mom had it breaded and I loved it…there was some on the sides that I ate with a spoon. I called Liz to get some ideas as to what I could still get Mom and Liz called me back after 8.

By then Mom was home. The kitchen was almost finished straightened up. While Mom was in the bathroom and my door was slightly open Liz called. The answering machine picked it up and so I grabbed it. Something told me she would give away what I was doing. She was so freaking goddamned loud. I even told her. Yet she continued. During the conversation she realized I couldn’t really talk. I finally thought after we went through the list (and she made a crack about Mom not liking any thing we give her which is just not true) I finally realized I would get the Brita water picture. After we hung up I did some laundry and that just got done.

Now I am going to bed…
