TaDa! TUESDAY

[Twins' Mom]

No bandwidth to look in, I've been out to see my massage therapist for body work. I'm upstairs doing HOA checks now but need to go down to "talk about taking L to Talbots."

Pouting here.
Sooooo skippable detour post for therapy

We were reimbursed for overpayment of medical charges in HRH's name, from years back when we had regular insurance, and this happened through a class action suit we did not instigate, did not know about, were just one of many households reimbursed by surprise. They did it by sending everyone prepaid debit cards with many restrictions, for whatever reason that makes it more advantageous to them. Probably hoping some people will forget it or not spend it all. This would be like receiving a money order or gift card rather than a deposit or check - you must spend in certain ways, not gas pumps, etc. And if you lose it, you lose the money. When our card came, I did all the work of calling to activate it and write down all the pertinent info and gave that to HRH. He activated it but then gave it to ME to take care of it. I didn't like it, but I took it. I just KNEW I did take good care of it and had it in my purse.

But when he asked for it today, I couldn't find it. I went through my wallet and purse twice and there were a bunch of "cards" for everything from groceries to library, but only one actual banking card, my own. We ended up in words over it, from NOT trying to end up in words over it. I went over my whole desk, my bedside table, nothing made any sense, though - I only ever put cards in one place. Heard HRH walking up to me later and knew he was being quiet to try not to fuss, and he had found the card. But it was still my "fault", in that he found it wrapped in the paper I'd written everything down on, put into a small baggie and THEN put into my wallet, where I assumed it was something else. I was surprised he dared go through my wallet - he thinks it's kryptonite. Anyway, we're on eggshells trying to be quiet with each other. Sigh.

Tobias is appalled.

blessed, it's great that you have a chance to check in more often, and good news that your dmother's new room is in use for her now and contains meaningful art for her. I know you are pleased.

vehicle delivery - I've been informed now that they do have another protocol you can choose. If they knock and no one comes to the door, they leave the keys and paperwork under the mat of the vehicle. So that's probably a smart choice - we didn't know.

I think HRH was perfectly happy to go to his appt by himself, which was just a checkup. Maybe he can chat well when it's just him. He remembered some helpful things. Dr had neglected to do one blood test last time and HRH reminded this time.

Mystery, so interesting and fun you'll have a trip to Michaels. lol about asking for color choices and everyone probably trying to be gracious about it so YOU would have a lot of leeway! You needed to ask, "Now, if you only had ONE choice... .."

I've been to the bank and Costco and a small grocery store. All I needed at the grocery store was AP flour, but I walked out with so much more. I got the 2 things I needed at Costco and the had Volteren (sp?) on sale for less than Wal mart and I also bought a vat of potato salad for dh.

Dh put oil in the riding mower and put more gas in it. I turned on the compressor because one of dh's tires needs air in it. I put the air, but the truck still insists it needs air and the hand gauge says it's got enough air. I'll tell dh and let him decide. He is cutting the back yard.

I had a single strawberry from the garden. There are numerous raspberries almost ready to be picked.

I'm going out to have a popsicle.

DD15 now has appt with oral surgeon to discuss wisdom teeth surgery. Getting this surgery done is one of three major goals for DD15 this summer. The other 2 are drivers license school and start trauma counseling. She is schedule for the school the first of August. The trauma counseling is.....uhm....being procrastinated .... I can't get peace about the trauma counseling to an unknown person so am reluctant to commit. There is also the 3 hour drive to those appointments that doesn't thrill me. DD15 seems to be doing excellent with her trusted counselor so I am reluctant to rock-the-boat (so to speak). DD15 hasn't requested trauma counseling but it was one of the recommendations when she was diagnosed with autism.

DH has lost the remote to his TV. If anyone sees it lying around, please tell me where it is.

Front yard was cut by me. Dh did the back.

Did you look in the drawers where he was putting all the other stuff in the bedroom LadyM?
