  • Turns out that Tom’s wonderful shower chair that was purchased for him is too small. Who knew it was such a curse to be over 6 feet tall?! So, now I have to figure out how to return the one we have and get one that he can sit in without his feet dragging on the floor, without costing extra cash. It sure would be great if that were a simple task, but I know it won’t be.
  • Our power went out during the beautiful, clear skied day. For some reason, it’ll go out on gorgeous days… but we’ve not really had it go out due to weather. I don’t get it. The whole neighborhood was out for about an hour. Which really sucked because Tom’s air mattress that helps prevent pressure sores is powered by electricity. As soon as it looses power, it immediately begins to deflate. So, instead of leaving Tom’s sensitive skin pushed against the wire framing of the bed, I quickly got Tom dressed and up in his chair. Of course, not even 15 minutes after getting Tom up, the power comes back on. Go figure.
  • I’ve decided that November 3rd is the best date to sneak in a fund raiser here at the house before next year. I think we’ve got 3 bands that have volunteered to play a little while. I’m going to have to ask some people to bring a finger food, also. I plan on finding someone to lend me money to get a keg, and request that the guests donate a couple bucks each to pay it back. Maybe we’ll be able to raise enough money to pay back the guys that opened the credit card to make Tom’s bathroom accessible.
  • I still have to paint the bathroom. Elizabeth is coming over tomorrow night.
  • I have yet to start cleaning, although Paul has, to a degree… thank God.
  • We’re supposed to go to a routine doctors appointment tomorrow morning, but I’ve had to stay up ridiculously late trying to finish Tom’s program. I doubt we’ll make it to the appointment tomorrow. Its nearly 4 AM. A smidge late in the night, if you ask me. No, we didn’t start late… its just being difficult.
  • (If you don’t know what the ‘program’ is, be thankful. And don’t ask.)
  • We had nachos tonight for dinner and they were wonderful. I haven’t had them in forever!
  • I’m busy every Saturday until the week after Thanksgiving. I’m supposed to work on Saturdays. I’ll have to figure out how to manage that pretty quickly! I might have to start going in the morning. *gasp*
  • I’m tired and I still can’t go to sleep yet…
