Stormy's feeling really sick. We'll have to get her to the instacare or a doctor if she is still feeling excruciating pain in her stomach tomorrow.
Morgan just went to the doctor's for strep and perhaps a UTI. We haven't hear back about the UTI yet, but the antibiotics for her strep will take care of it anyways and she no longer seems to have symptoms of one. She was also having really bad diarhea for weeks, and we had taken her to the doctor's for that earlier. They just recommended that we give her some yogurt three times a day. She seems to be over that as well. Lastly, she has really bad warts on her right palm, and we've gotten some wart remover for that and they're nearly gone. Stormy's mother started telling everyone in her family that she is a bad mother because we had put duct tape on her palm for her warts. Stormy's mother, who has not seen the warts, was yelling at Stormy over the phone because they aren't warts, they are hand foot and mouth disease. Stormy asked how she knows, what are the symptoms of it, and Stormy's mother shouted back, "I don't fucking know!" So she is 200 miles away, has not seen the warts, doesn't know what hand foot and mouth disease is, but shouted at her for an hour on the phone and called up her sisters to tell them that she is a terrible mother and that her pediatrician is a moron for possibly thinking these things Debbie has not seen could be warts. The doctor, my father, and the medical advice we looked up on the internet for warts all suggested that duct tape was a cheap way to get rid of them, but it just couldn't stay on and got them too moist.
Anyways, we've been saving up money really well. Damn I'd love to see oHgr this Wednesday, but I really don't want to spend the money since we've been doing so well. We just filled out another loan application to see if we could get a better interest rate. We may hear back before the holiday. The lot we were expecting to get in can't be gotten a hold of and won't call me back regarding our application. I didn't expect it would have any problems, but I'd really like to hear some sort of confirmation from them. I've gotten some overtime this pay period, and that's also going to help us a lot. Still no word about Stormy's second job.
Allen has a lot more work and money. I just finished up a work order for an error with bartmurphy.com and have been trying to get civilizzation.com wrapped up. Mostly all we are waiting for is feedback on some things from them. We don't mind taking the time, but some people in their company are seeming to get impatient as we are waiting for some collaberation from their database technician. Creating a website is never done well if it isn't a two part effort between the customer and the developers. Use cases need to be approved, domain expertise has to be provided, and obviously thorough software specifications must be given.
This semester is almost over. Next semester I will be taking more classes. I should have my 2 year degree by the end of fall semester next year.
