yesterday in Second 1st

Was at the VA hospital all morning with Marco. He decided to not get surgery (he was given a choice) and wait to see what happens. Apparently his kidney stone had moved a good bit because they couldn’t find it really. He may of may not have already passed it. Both me and Marco saw 2 more in his other kidney but the doc didn’t mention them.

Rocky and I went to finish the taxes when we were done. All told $5933.

We’ve decided to go with the Ghostbed and wait until the tax money comes in (approx. 21 days) In the mean time I’m going to order a metal platform frame and get sheets with regular money.

The moment the tax money is in we will call about the Heater/AC unit and see if it’s something we can fix and hold off on. There will not be enough to replace it this year, I’m sure of it.

Rocky wants to put as much as we can on the home improvement loan we had gotten for the pipes. I understand but am annoyed with it.

My Student loans: $1195=25 a month
$2158=41 a month
$4247= 83 a month
Home improvement loan: $9,000 something @ $129 a month

If any of mine are paid off I could contribute that much to the payment (or principle) of the home improvement loan. He’s kinda blah on it so I’m hoping when the time comes he will be willing to compromise. If there were 3,000 left pay off the first loan and put the rest on the HI loan or something. My student loans don’t kill me but I feel I can’t over pay on the house till they are gone. They are not impossible to remove.

Talked to Destiny yesterday. She needed to unload about Bob, her stepdad. It’s getting really hard. He’s got brain cancer and they are having to take shifts, giving meds, changing diapers, moving his so he doesn’t get bed sores. I know how it is, I wish I could be there. Not that I would want to do that but they all need a break. They each need a few moments alone or together as they have been separated by the care shifts.

Destiny’s father died of cancer. He passed only 48 hours after it hit his brain. They have been told that Bob could live up to 10 years in this state. SMH I told her to keep me informed and that if things have not improved it would be up to her if she wants me to come in July or not. I will not be hurt because I know how tough a disruption to the patterns can be. Rocky and I would merely find some other state to visit for a week and begin planning a trip for December or something. I know she wouldn’t want that but sometimes things like that are easier. Avoiding the disruption. If he passes before then however plans shall not change.
