So tomorrow is a big day. Dad's got a blood transfusion (his hemoglobin levels on Wednesday were 78!), which he's taking my recently-unemployed brother Charlie to, and Mom and I are going to the BabyTime Show. We're actually going to be working at one of the booths at the show, which is pretty awesome because not only do we get in for free, but we get PAID!! Woohoo! Yeah, it's less than minimum wage, but who cares? It's tax-free!
So, Dad's gonna be spending a good 5 hours at the hospital with Charlie, and I'm going to be spending 8 1/2 hours at a baby show getting free stuff, and hanging out with lil miss McKenzie and wee Emily.
I was surprised to find out that my brother was unemployed... poor guy got cut because his company lost a contract, and they just axed everyone who had less than 2 years employment. Sucks, but that's life. I'm trying to help him out the best I can, by helping him file for unemployment, understand his severence package, reduce his cable bill, and telling him about places he might be able to find employment. I just don't feel like it's enough, and yet I KNOW it's more than a lot of other sisters may do for their brothers...
I have so much I need to do tonight, and it feels like I have no time to do it all. Like buy gas.. it's going up to over $1.31/L tomorrow!
