We're starting the month off right here. DD2's school has no power. They haven't sent them home yet, but I imagine it's affected the plans for the day.

We’ve finally escaped from Satan’s armpit. My A/c has been completely off for 3 days and my second story windows are open 24/7. It’s so lovely
Eta. Was lovely. Apparently it’s supposed to be 85 today (which means closer to 90) so everything will get closed up again. It was nice while it lasted.

Fortunately it should cool off by the weekend. I'm ready for cool breeze open windows season!

I flew to Texas yesterday for a big work meeting today and I was up all night puking food poisoning? Did I pick up something traveling? (I masked and washed my hands frequently) I am so miserable I went to bed feeling completely normal.

PDQ I flew in Monday night to be with my gran while she had her surgery. It was last night and it went well. Thank goodness her heart and lungs are very healthy so she handled the surgery as well as anyone could expect from a 90 year old. We aren't out of the woods yet but the hardest hurdle is past. They let us see her briefly after. I guess when they tried to extubate her overnight she freaked out.
I have had so little sleep OMG. I was at the hospital yesterday from 9 a.m. til 2 a.m. and am on my way back now.

Well looks like October is off to a rocky start for everyone. We found out my H’s company is being bought out. Don’t have all the details yet but yeah…not great news. At least we have insurance through my job. 😢

H's car crapped out on Monday so we got to go car shopping today. We are now the proud owners of a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It hurt paying that much for a used car.

Anyone with preteens? What is your policy on cell phones? Do you ever look at their texts and other activities?

klw I could write an essay on this. Yes, I spot check phones. We also have some kind of program that tracks which sites they visit and for how long. ETA: policy is no social media account without permission They should immediately let us know of any inappropriate messages or cyber bullying. You may be surprised at how many apps allow exchanges of messages and pictures. Phones are put away before bedtime. Parent texts must be answered in a timely manner.

I'm reeling - in February we got an email my husband was approved for the Borrowers Defense for his student loans.
We finally got the letter from his lender a few weeks ago that it was processed and his balance is now $0.
On Tuesday we got a check for over $16k from the government for all the payments he's made.
Fingers crossed for everyone else.
