We went to Seattle today.Stephie had an appt at University of Washington Orthodontic school. She is a prime candidate for the program. The good is the cost is only $3500 for braces versus the $5k the local orthos want. The bad is it has to be paid upfront and we don't have it. We talked about taking a loan on my car. Not sure what we want to do. Our insurance will pay $1500 of it. So if anyone wants to make me a loan and pay for this for me and take $75 a month payments let me know.

OK.. I am still having a bad week. I am morning the loss of my mom hard this week. Just to much happening at once. I am feeling over whelmed. If it is not one things right now its another. I want to run away and hide for a month. Anyone wanna send me on a cruise to Alaska??? I would got for a one week one. Someone please take my place and be the responsible person for a week and let me just sit mindlessly and do nothing. I know I am in a funk mood wise. I need to find a happy place and not have so much to deal with. I was feeling better but its like when it rains it pours here.

We stopped at a local produce place on the way home. I wanted to get cucumbers to make pickles, and of course like everything else, they did not have any. They said things are blooming late this year so maybe in a few more days. Sadly we live about an hour from this place so if I have to trek back down I will go to my regular farmstand for them
