Couldn't sleep.

.

Or work.  Resting, reading bits and pieces, here and there.  Trying to cool down.  Hoping to work or sleep.  I may get a shower in, to see if that will help.

I did try on some clothes I received today.  Some will go back tomorrow.  Surprisingly, much fit.  It sounds like about half of what I got mom will work for her.  What doesn't fit will also be sent back, and a few things that were ordered will be ordered in extra.  It should cover one and the other.  With extra, for my and two returns not being replaced.

Oh, but I have overspent.  Not down to zero, but more deeply than thought.  Between the time it takes for charges to go through, and billing to pay, and as busy and hectic as things got, I spent down a bit deeper than thought.

Bills should be covered.  And, maybe, a ribeye roast could be had.  Plus some in the main account, and side account... for emergencies.  But... next month I will cut expenses in half, quarter more like.

Not sure how mom is keeping up.  I just ask to make sure she is sure she is okay.  And I have been managing a small stash for her.  At least she knows, somehow, that I keep her money straight.  When I remind her, about spending, she remembers.  Plus... she has a good idea of how much I have spent on her, for some of her needs and wants.

I can't, won't, buy everything she wants.  Some things I know she needs, even unders and bras... which she was going crazy looking for, not finding, but refusing to buy.  I... get bullheaded like that sometimes, and just suffer through.  A bit embarrassing, but I refused to let her suffer through.  Stubborn cow!  ;p  Well, and a few other things.  As said, though not all.  She has to be aware of economy.  That she may have to pay keeps her list of wants and needs... smaller, focussed.  Well, and she is losing weight, so... trying to give her a bit of help there.  Losing weight can get pricy of a sudden.  A little help really is a relief.  I'm just glad that I can help, even just this bit.

Life is pretty good.  We have smoothed out.  We manage our anger, memory issues, and paranoia for my part.  I am, mostly, confident that even if she does something, mostly, wrong... it is an error, not intention.  Or... just old habits.  We really try to help and work with each other.  I did tell her I wouldn't help her more this evening.  But I did a lot today, in town and when I returned.  I was well past shot.  Didn't get in a snit, just said no.  Or she would have had me do a dozen more things.  Nothing fancy, or angry, just "no".

Later or good night.
