Day 215: A Final Speech Therapy Sesson

Speech Therapist — $60.00
On the way to speech therapy The Son announced that he didn’t think he’d need any more sessions.  I was a little surprised because I know it’s been going pretty well for him.  He said on Tuesday he’d received a writing assignment in his English class and was able to get started writing on [...]

187: Speech & Food

Speech Therapist — $60.00
I’m ashamed to say that this out-of-pocket speech thing is starting to get old.  The Son has definitely built a rapport with the therapist.  And he’s been writing — more than he’s ever written for me (which isn’t saying a whole heck of a lot).  But I don’t feel as though any [...]

Day 180: Supplements, Co-Pays, Speech, & Emergency Groceries

Supplements – $30.12
Doctor — $25.00
Co-pay to my doctor — they fit me in last minute because my poor lungs are so stressed and my body is so worn out with this wracking cough.  She gave me three prescriptions but I didn’t have any time today so I didn’t get any of them filled.
Speech Therapist — $120.00
Two [...]

Day 166: Colonics, Underwear, Groceries, Bedding, and Speech Therapy

How’s that for a interesting collection of expenses?  It certainly was a full day.  Here we go with my today’s daily dollar diary entry:
Alternative Care & Supplements — $106.57
I started the morning with a colonic session ($70) and bought a bottle of herbal supplements specifically formulated to give relief for some of my IBS symptoms (most [...]

Day 159: Groceries! and Speech

We started the day with a speech therapy session for The Son — $60.00.  Therapy is still going well and The Son has now completed two recipe reviews (though the second one took him two weeks and still needs a bit of polish).  This week’s assignment is to write a paper on celebrity political endorsements.  [...]

Day 138: Undies and Outers, Speech and Baseball

The Son announced the other day that he needed new underwear.  Well, knock me down with a feather.  This is a kid who will do just about anything to avoid having to be involved, even remotely, with new clothing and/or shopping of any kind.
His acknowledgement of needing new underwear was the surprise; the need, however, [...]

Day 131: Speech Therapy and Gospel Music

Today was crammed with appointments for me and The Son.  I started out the day with a morning appointment at my doctor’s office for a blood draw for a thyroid test.  Painful and annoying but no copay necessary — the insurance company should pick up the whole tab.
The next appointment was for The Son to [...]
