Monday, Monday

Ana’s been sick most of the week with a sinus infection, but by Saturday night her fever was beginning to climb rather than stay normal. Sunday morning she felt ok enough to go to church, probably because the 5th Sunday is her favorite day to attend because of Communion/Lord’s Supper. By the time we got home her temp was 101 and climbing even though she had taken some Tylenol that morning. Stacie opted to take her to ER.
The doc ordered a swab and finally came back and said it wasn’t flu but it was viral. No school for 2 days and check in with the family doctor. What he didn’t tell us and what the family doctor did say was that when they rule out flu—they rule out the regular type of flu. They don’t have a swab test for the Swine flu and that is probably what she had.
Well, ran to school to get Ana's work for these two days. Only 1 teacher and 1 aid were already in the classroom so didn't accomplish a thing there other than to be told by the two who were there that she could make it up when she came back.

Then tried to pay my electric bill online and only 1 of the 4 accounts we have would show up. Called MEPA and the girl said it showed on hers. So logged off, tried again, same thing. Tried to start another account with the blanket account number these 4 accounts are listed under, no go. Called back to pay by phone and after doing so the girl I spoke with there fixed it. She said someone had made changes and that had messed up the account.

Then had a phone call from the blooming idiot who installed my wildblue, and he talked for an hour wanting poppy seeds to make fall decorations. Yeah right! He was an airhead the day he was here, stayed on the phone making what sounded like drug deals and then wanted to come out and give me a free check up on my satellite. I don't think so! Plus he wants me to order him some poppy seed.

Then was paying a credit card, one they upgraded because I'm such a good customer, which gives me a new account number. I had changed that number on my folder and my reminder sheet about what each card is used for--I'm organized to the hilt on some things and a total slob on others. We use cc's to track plant expenses and the hardgoods we sell in the store along with the supplies like trays, fertilizer, cell packs and such. Plants go on one card and hardgoods on another which makes it easy at income tax time to just print that out rather than digging up receipts.
Ok back to the story, I had changed the number on the folder in the filing cabinet and on the reminder list, but the bill was under the old number, the website showed the new number so had to go digging for that information and try to not get confused. Then it was remember to change the file name to the confirmation folder where I save that information rather than wasting all the paper to print them out.

Oh, I volunteered to help out at school when they have a need. Told Mr. Boyd during the slow times I could volunteer a few hours here and there when they needed an extra set of eyes and hands. He thanked me but didn't ask me to come help today even though Shandi's teacher isn't there and she only has the aid, Lana Rushing.
Most of my day then was spent visiting with customers until time to water. Brenda called after supper. She was scheduled for a CT scan tomorrow in Hattiesburg. The Radiology called to say that unless she could pay the deductable on her medical insurance, they would have to cancel the scan. She explained to them that this was due to an accident. They said they would have to check with her doctor’s office to be sure he knew. She told them he already knew that. Then they said they would have to check with the finance office on what to do since they didn’t deal with 3rd party insurances anymore.
She was so upset. Her stomach has been swelled and hurting since the wreck and she can’t eat over a few bites at a time. We’ve tried to get her to go to an emergency room and maybe if they cancel this scan she will finally do that.
