Good evening, all!
Long day today. Worked 9-5 for an old client who booked me for this week since DW is off from her job all week. Then I worked my night job, and the next 3 days I have to be in to the day job at 7am, getting out at 3 with a few hours to kill before the night gig. Doing what needs to be done to pay the bills.
No update on the paycheck issue. Response I got initially was, "ok. we'll look into it."
When prioritizing which bills to pay, we had been pushing all the medical bills to the side. Well, that came back to haunt us over the weekend when we got a summons from the lawyer for the plastic surgeon who stitched up DD's forehead after her head-first-run-in-with-the-stairs episode. In my life, I've never had a doctor come after me so hard and so fast for payment. Now we've got to pay the bill, AND cover his attorney's fees, which adds another thousand dollars onto it. (apparently I signed something to that effect while we were standing over DD on the table in the ER.) I called them today and made arrangements to pay it in installments. Not sure why we didn't just do that in the first place.
Lastly is the update on my youngest brother who was staying as a houseguest last week. Over the weekend, I relocated him to one of our other brothers' apartment back in NJ. The hope is that he'll stay there until he gets a job and gets back on his feet. However, he is already starting to waiver on all his talk about cutting ties with the people who he'd been living with (the ones who left him sleeping outside their house in a car with nothing to eat for four days). The rest of the family is treating this like an intervention. They can't keep him locked up though, so eventually there will come a point where he'll have money and means to leave if he wants, and I guess we'll know then what he really wants. If he does go, I think most of the family will write him off.
gotta get some sleep. goodnight all!
