Mother’s Funeral Is Today
The funeral for my mother will be held today in St. Lucia (my home). I am unable to attend because of visa extension restrictions (grrrrrrr!!!!) but my heart will be with my family at home.
My father will be reading a poem I emailed to him on my behalf and I think my brother is getting someone to film the ceremony so that I can get a copy.
Thank you to EVERYONE who emailed me, twittered condolences or left comments. I HEART all of you…my blogging buddies.
Update On Mother…Blood Transfusion
Mother is back in the hospital due to complications. She needs to get a blood transfusion before she can get the next set of chemo drugs.
I am getting depressed.
Tracking My Finances In June: Day 23
Welcome to How I Save Money and tracking of income and expenses for the month.
Income for the month to date: $34.51
Expenses for the month to date: $1962.03
Net effect: -$1927.52
So far I have been spending money on gas and food since my mother has come up to see the doctor. I was also running the air conditioning while she was here so I think that will bring up the electric bill a little bit. I am spending the rest of the week with Honey because he lives about 30 minutes from the hospital as opposed to me living 1 hour away.
Saved $4 on Parking At the Hospital
So I got my mother to the hospital today for the initial checkup and they decided to admit her because she was dehydrated. The parking for the entire day was $4 and I was going to pay this when I ended up talking to the valet.
He sympathised with me and gave me a free pass for the day so I ended up saving the $4 on parking today.
