Good morning everyone! I did not have to go to the animal org meeting last night. I did return the item to the hardware store, then used the extra time for kitten socialization. It is clear these are nocturnal animals given that they are easy to medicate in the morning when they are still half asleep and not so easy in the evening. This is day 3 of 10. I got only a small amount of overdue Christmas crochet done, but it was an unclear part, so it is good progress. Gotta get that done! Then, I actually went to bed at a reasonable hour.
The evaluator at school asked me if DD16 knew how to make change. I had to confess I didn't know. The x only allows her to have $20, but she can't actually spend it without catching heck from him. When she is with me, I write a check and the x pays me from her account. Her "account" is really just a record on a spreadsheet rather than a separate account. I am not sure if she will ever see any of the birthday, Christmas, and allowance money he is "keeping for her". The cash she gets from my parents, she keeps at my house, hidden and hoarded.
At payroll, there is a periodic appearance of a real stink! We are talking elephant farts here. In fact, it is coming up now. Dang! That's awful! Tonight, I have DD. It will likely be dinner and homework.
Harmony: Could your phone number be linked to someone else's in the pharmacy system? Mine was linked to my x at a pet food store. Every time I made a change to my account, his was affected and vice versa. (Particularly annoying when employees kept calling me by the other woman's name). FINALLY, I think it has been fixed. They simply removed my phone from the system altogether and I had to re-register.
Ramblinrose: In my case, UT refers to The University of Texas at Austin, where I did my graduate work. I did my undergrad at Auburn and that is the school that has my loyalty. (After UT doubled grad student tuition so they could "give scholarships to good students", i.e. not us, they lost our loyalty. Most of us said "you have us over a barrel and we are stuck, but this is the last money you ever get from us.")
ETA: Just got an email that the animal org just got a $1200 contribution! I'll be writing another thank you letter tonight.
