EDD

B. applied for disability benefits. Did it all on his own including going to the doctor and getting all the paperwork filled out. He told J. that whatever he gets for disability, he will give to me since today is the last day of February and he has yet to pay anything towards his monthly expenses - due on the 1st of every month.

With relief, he was notified that he's been approved and will receive a payment of $344.57! Yeah!

They are sending a debit card with the funds loaded onto the card.

There are instructions for how to transfer those funds to a bank account.

Here's hoping 'cuz he can't pay his parents his insurance contribution, cell phone payment, etc. with a debit card.

We're not that sophisticated.

He returns to work on 3/5. His ankle/foot is much better. He's still not back to running but he is able to get around. We'll see how he does on his feet for his first shift and if it swells up again, he'll go back to the doctor to go back on disability and then get the MRI.

J. is at a work dinner thing so he won't be home until late. I picked up Subway sandwiches for dinner. And also stopped to get Lotto tickets and then milk at the grocery store. There were girl scouts outside and since not a single girl has come to my door to sell me cookies, I bought five boxes ($20 total) from them. And that was after also buying a bag of the stores baked chocolate chip cookies. Those were for H. 'cuz they are his favorite.....chewy and delicious!

I should never go to the store when I'm hungry. Two gallons of milk and $25.50 in cookies. Not a good trip. OH - and a warm loaf of sweet french bread just out of the oven.....

We have a meeting at work tomorrow so I am making cake batter rice krispie treats - a Pinterest recipe!
