Wk 10, Day 2 (Tues, 24-Sep-2014)

THOUGHTS:

• Not working out today as my sleep is way off.  Didn't get much sleep last night and I feel sick to my stomach.  One of the reasons for not working out for me is that my body does not like the extra stress of exercise when I haven't gotten enough sleep.  
• My ex has been doing well since about last Sep on his child support stuff.  Too bad his employer is not good at submitting the child support payments, which isn't good.
• We took the photo album to Lowe's near where we live and usually always get great customer service.  I just needed a screw top and wasn't sure of the part in the Hardware area.  The Lowe's person was incredibly unfriendly, though, he did reluctantly help me.  It seemed like I was a bother to him with my $1.08 part.  We almost left the store and went elsewhere because he said they didn't carry what we needed (but he didn't really look either to see what we needed).  Anyway, despite his bad attitude, I was able to get the part I needed to fix my ex-mother in law's photo album of the kids and we will be able to mail it out to her today.
• The guy at the post office was very nice to me unlike the Lowe's guy.  He was helpful and we thought I would need a medium box priority mail box, but the photo album was slightly too big, so we needed a large flat rate box, which was $16, about $3.50 more.  That's fine.  I know the kids' grandmother will love the pictures and there are plenty of pages left for her to fill with more pictures, which I hope to be able to send a couple times a year to her so she can see the kids.
• Our daughter has been sick and now I think I'm coming down with what she has.  Ugggh.  I think also our son is coming down with this, too.
