Some catching up

Boy, can I use a relaxing Holiday weekend!  The past 2 weeks have really worn me out.  Mom got lost on the way to our house.  Ruth and Julie each had their last orchestra concerts of the year, and we returned Julie's cello, since she won't be playing in 7th grade.  Ruth was confirmed last weekend, and I co-headed the brunch the day before, which was complicated by another ER visit for Raj - 16 passouts during lunch, and prolonged low blood pressure - but all checked out fine at the hospital.

Though we've been "about a week away" from closing on the sale of the Wauconda land since the offer in January, we're still having to jump through every hoop the sellers come up with, and it gets discouraging at times.  Tax penalties start to accrue June 6, so I wonder who gets to pay those?

We got Raj a Disabled Person State ID instead of a Drivers License when his expired on his birthday, and I've gotten approved for 4 savings programs with the manufacturers of prescription drugs that we probably couldn't afford otherwise.  We're in the "donut hole" with Raj's prescriptions now, so I've applied to programs that I never thought we'd qualify for.  Medical claims still take the majority of my time and patience.
