Visit from Geo's mom

Geo's mom and boyfriend came to see us today. They brought some really good barbecue chicken. She stayed for a while, just talking and catching up. It was nice. She's been such a great help for Geo and I and we appreciate her very much. I just wish I could do something nice back. I might get her some flowers, but it's going to be hard to get them since she works different shifts on different days. I'm also trying to save money so my mom can come visit me next month. I hope to have at least $50 to spend on her. But I also have to worry about things like putting gas in the car and adding to the car fund. We are down super low and I need to start building it up again. I just have all these expenses and it's hard to save money. But I have to do it... It's Geo and my 9 year anniversary on the 26th, so I would like to take him out to a nice dinner. So I have to save my money like crazy this month and not go around spending money on everything. I hate to do it, but I need to get my mom to repay me what she owes me ($50). I need it to replenish the car fund. Next week is going to be crazy. I have my MRI of my foot on Monday, then a showing of E3 (an electronic and game expo) and probably won't get home till midnight. Then the next day I see the dentist about this hole in my tooth. But luckily my appointment isn't until 2:30 so I have time to sleep in a bit. I was going to volunteer today but they didn't need me. I'm worried they are going to fire me as a volunteer since I haven't been in a while. Ever since this whole foot thing. I wanted to go for a walk tonight, but I just don't feel up to it. I need to get my butt in gear and start back on my routine to help alleviate the depression.

what you neeeeed is to let that foot rest and HEAL. it will not heal properly or at all if you keep using it. stay off your foot. if you must exercise, go to the ocean and swim. or use a pool. you live in florida. its summer. you can easily spend your days at the beach.

best of luck saving money for your mother\'s visit and your anniversary. that is a very long time, especially if its gone well. glad you enjoyed your visit with your mother in law.

it is so frustrating when an injury prevents you from doing what you want. as 38ilbs suggested use swimming as a toll for exercise and maybe it will also relieve some depression. the way I have found to save any money is to save all my 1 dollar bills and all change, everyday I put them away, and it adds up quickly. you don\'t have to much time for the anniversary but if you can do it, I hope it will help. hugsss

Yes, Stay off the foot as much as possible. I hope all goes well with the MRI and the dentist.
