So much for my plans today...

So much for school today.  And so much for my plans for today. Del decided as we were waiting to go to school this morning that he was "in too much pain" to sit through seven hours of class and an hour of lunch, not to mention going to gym today.  I told him I would bring him some Ibuprofen to the school, but that wasn't good enough for him.  He was determined that he was not going to school.  After we got to the school, he refused to get out of the van, even though his aide and I told him he could go just sit down in a room with his weighted blanket.  We told him that he didn't have to go to gym, but that wasn't good enough either.  I had no choice but to just bring him home.  Now he seems just fine.  I did tell him that he has no game privileges since he wouldn't go to school.  Of course he told me the same thing he always does.  He doesn't care that he doesn't get to play.  That's not why he wants to go home.  He wants to go lay down in his room and get some rest since he "got up on the wrong side of the bed".  Gee, I wonder why he thinks that?  Couldn't be because he woke me up at 5 o'clock this morning, could it?

Great, now I have even more to deal with today.  The physical therapy office Donald uses just called and cancelled his appointment for this afternoon. They are claiming that he has used all his authorized visits.  How is that possible?  He's only been in three times since the new referral from the insurance was issued.  This is getting a little old here.  The insurance company sent us a letter authorizing 12 visits starting the beginning of December, then sent us a letter a couple weeks later saying his authorization had been denied.  We took care of that and found out that the denial letter shouldn't have been issued and he was good to go.  Now the physical therapist's office is saying he's used all his visits when he's only been in three times.  Some days.....

So much for my plans today.  I had planned on running a couple of quick errands and then spending the rest of the day catching up on laundry.  Now I have to drag Del with me to run my errands, which I can't put off. And then go out to the physical therapist's office to take the original referral letter to them and try to figure out what is going on this time.  Can't seem to catch a break.  Even on my rare days when I don't have anything on my schedule (like today), I can't get done what I need to.

I've come to the conclusion that I need a clone of myself (or maybe two).  Barring that, I think I need a personal assistant to help me keep up with everything I need to do around here.  Some days I can keep all the balls in the air and other days I have trouble just keeping one or two up in the air.  Wonder if there's anyone who wants to take on the job of keeping me running?  Considering it's low pay (more like no-pay), frustrating, and VERY time intensive, I'm pretty sure I'm just out of luck!
