It Was A Good Day

Today was a good day. I started things off with a trip to Home Depot to buy all of our paint and supplies for the house. Everything was way more than I thought it would be, but it will be worth it...I hope. Thankfully the lady helping me was really nice and didn't take advantage of a beginner painter.

I thought things were going to take a turn for the worse when I got to work and found out I was supposed to have planned a lunch for my boss!! His usual secretary forgot to mention that to me when we were going over my weekly things to do. Thankfully it all worked out and I got some of the extra stuff for lunch. I found out that I don't have to be there all week to tomorrow and Thursday will be major workdays at the house.

It finally rained in Cleveland!!! We have been having such a bad drought and it finally rained for more than 5 minutes today. I hope the rain stays for a while because we need it and I don't want to pay money to water our new lawn.

More good news...Eli finally has insurance!! I had a good talk with the people in Nashville who handle all of the processing. Everything was finally processed last Friday and both kids have full coverage. Sadly mine ends at the end of the month, but we knew that would happen. At least it will cover my final appointment Thursday. Sadly our assets are too high to qualify for food stamps. The good news is after moving into the house we will have drained most of our funds and should qualify. In the long run I think it will be worth getting rid of some money to not have to pay for groceries every month.

Overall I am starting to feel much better. I'm still dealing with feeling dizzy from my meds but today I kind of felt like my normal self, which hasn't happened in a while. I was also able to clean up the kitchen without dragging myself in the kitchen to do it. Dinner on the other hand is another story, but that is partly has to do with the fact that we haven't been shopping in a while. I do have something planned for tomorrow or Thursday, which is amazing.

In the world of cloth diapers things are good and bad. Good that I've been doing really well with not putting disposables on Eli, bad that most of his fitteds are creating super plumber butt. His prefolds are starting to fall apart in some places and after re-serging them they are a little too small. I'm pretty sure my diaper sewing supplies will be here tomorrow, but half of my sewing stuff is here and half is at the house. I can't wait to move to have some space to work on projects. Sewing Eli some new diapers is at the top of the list. If anyone in Cleveland is reading this and you have any old t-shirts or sweatshirts that you need to get rid of let me know because I can recycle them into diapers.

I think that's it for now. I hope day 1 of painting goes well tomorrow.
