I mean,  I just don't seem to get it.
Went in to school today to finish a final project.  As soon as I finished, my Prof. walks in, says hello and asks where I was on Saturday.  Apparently, he gave the final Saturday morning while I was still in bed....nice.  Luckily for me, I had my syllabus handy and showed him the final exam date on it.  (Remember, it says Monday, April 20....neither of which are a match.)  So, he admitted to the error and I took the exam on the spot. 
Once home, I tried to clear up the snafoo with the IRS and got two different responses over the phone.  Neither one offered confidence.  I scribbled a reply on their letter and put it in the mail.  Hope I don't have to serve time over it.  No matter what else happens, it is clear that I won't see a tax refund of any sort.  We normally live on a return over the summer.  Now what?!
School's over for me until Fall.  What to do...
I've looked for jobs month after month.  Nothing but rejections. 
Could use a getaway...car won't cooperate with that idea.
LL's husband deploys this week (training then overseas).  It's killer that she has to go through this and I can't be there for moral support.   LL is absolutely capable of managing.  No question.   She's got a whole ward that loves her and her family.  They'll look after her okay.  Her oldest son is away on a mission.  Her oldest girl will leave home to come out here for school in the Fall.  It's gonna be lonely.  I just still have that old reliable pang that this is my job and I'm supposed to look after her. 
One doctor checkup lead to a mammogram and bone density test.  Grand total on the bill: $550.  And that's AFTER insurance paid their portion.  Where am I gonna come up with that?  I can't NOT go to the doctor just to save money but my heck!  Just put it on the pile.
Time for bed.  No rest for the weary.
