this n that

I have a cricket in my bedroom.
I'm  not sure how he got in, but he did.
Mr. Bojangles sits and stares in the direction that the cricket's
noise is coming from.
I hope he catches it before tonight!


I lost weight while on my medical leave of absence.
My scrubs were getting tight when I took my leave. Like time to throw away and go up a size tight.
The quitting smoking, the depression, the anti depressant, all
contributed to me gaining weight.
So I cut my carb. intake by about 50-75%, increased my fiber and whole grains intake, eating lean meats, and quit all junk food unless I'm really having a craving. (like the Chinese I had the other night.)
Now...............
I look better.
I feel better. My old scrubs are loose on me. Like time to throw away and buy more(I bought a couple before going back) a size down, loose.  So       YAY!

If my attorney told me once, he told me at least 5 times at one of our meetings that once my daughter turns 18 her father has no legal financial obligation to her. PERIOD!
I've known for quite some time that he was wrong. My father told me. (He always makes sure he's informed about just about everything) And then I verified the new info with the office of child support........and have recently filed the necessary papers in order for the support to continue.....not that it's a lot of money (easy for me to say. I'm not paying it, huh?) but it will help(barely) pay for her college education.
In Ky. child support has to be paid until the child graduates from High School or turns 19, which ever comes first. And there are other exceptions that I'm not informed about...... Seems like pretty simple information. You'd think my attorney would have known the law. Is it possible I misunderstood what he was saying to me. It's possible, but that's not what happened. I heard him. I know what he said.......and he said it more than once.

Daughter was enrolled in kindergarten at a later date because her birth date was so close to the cut off date , and I wasn't ready to have her start school. So she will turn 18 just after her Senior year begins.......
When you pay a person $500.00 an hour for information, getting correct information is an expectation. Today I will email my past attorney and INFORM HIM of the law. I'm not doing it to be a smart ass............if he's going to be charging people to tell them the law, he needs to have the correct information.

 I won't bill him.

Glad you were able to drop some weight. I am on antidepresants as well and even though I have been off carbs like bread & sweets since January I haven't lost all that much. About 15 pounds and do feel better but would like to loose another 15 and I could if I would try harder to eat salads and stuff like that but I love meat and cheese too much.
I hope you can find a loop hole to allow you to continue receiving support because it surely costs a lot to educate a child this day and time. Good luck and I will be back soon. Good night

I don't need to find a loop hole. I have the law on my side!
